The OP was talking about the Controller App, which is what I was speaking to. You are talking about something completely different than the OP.

Log into the Ubiquiti UI and download your config from there. I recommend only previous 7 days at most as it takes forever to restore if its more than that. Some folks just do settings only which is way faster. It brings up a download window and you put it where you want. After installation of the app, connect to the ip and follow the restore steps via browser.

I did the default setup through the Truenas UI and its working perfectly for me. Am I missing something?

I tried to leave them as unconfigured but no installer could see any drives so I just ended up setting them all up. I was looking at Cloudflare but wanted as much to be "in house" as I could. I am slowly migrating to on prem services as much as possible. With my stupid ISP modem (agian, so I dont have data caps) I cannot set up ad blocking 😞

Every drive is set in the Raid Controller as a single raid0 volume so that an OS could see them. I removed it because it was borked. I am one of those people that doesn't like red blinking lights for unread notifications and seeing the Hex ui just constantly reload because it is confused by a single drive pool drove me nuts. The large amount of ram was the first server I had came with 64gb or ram and I added 32gb more when I grabbed some 1tb drives for it. The second server came with 32gb so I just dumped them all into the second server though I probably shouldn't mix the 8gb sticks with the 16gb sticks but everything seems to work atm (all the channels match, either both slots are 8gb or 16gb, none are mixed sizes).

With Hex still being in its beta form, it doesn't allow me the flexibility of setup that I would like. So here is what I did (it is not ideal and I would not recommend it). I found an intel server platform (Intel S2600GZ) on facebook that had 3.5 bays rather than the 1U server I had previously that had 2.5 bays, limiting my storage capabilities. I migrated all my hardware over to the intel server and got things up and running. All drives are connected to a raid controller that I tried to set in HSB via CLI command but it is still running like a normal raid controller. For now I have set up everything in single volume raid 0 in the raid controller (which means I cannot redo this set up easily so everything is being duplicated to a small 2 bay NAS for continuity of data) to get OS to see them. Not ideal but it works for now until I can get an HSB and probably new Mobo as this intel platform doesn't seem to allow too much alteration from its original intent. I have the main OS installed on a 100gb SSD I have 3 x 10tb in raidz1 for my main pool for all our data needs 4 x 1tb in raidz1 for steam library (not ideal but wanted to see how Hex viewed an iscsi share) 1 x 2tb single mirror for my NVR via Shinobi I have a 250gb and 500gb NVME drives that I am going to get pci boards for and set up as cache's for my main pool and the steam pool Because of the single mirror Hex broke so I removed the server from the hub. I will have to wait until I can skip the erasure step when setting up the server as everything was set up via the Truenas UI and I have everything set up and working for now. Have immich, wireguard, nginx, netdata, uptime, unifi and a few other containers running. Everything is working great for now and am happy with my Hex ish set up. I am probably a little more advanced for what Hex was created but I am still a novice and setting up nginx and getting that going with ssl wasn't exactly easy especially when you are using an ISP provided modem (It was the only way not to have data caps). Server is an Intel S2600GZ with dual E5-2620 and 128gb of ram with 3 x 10tb HDD, 4 x 1tb HDD, 1 x 2tb HDD, and 1 x 100gb SSD with room for expansion. Using onboard 1gb nics for now until I upgrade my switch to handle 2.5.

I only have one surveillance drive for my NVR setup using Shinobi. I didn't want to mirror a non surveillance drive so I just did a single drive pool until I get another drive.

That explains why Hex is freaking out. I created a single drive pool for my NVR as I only have one surveillance drive currently.

I too am looking to ISCSI my steam installs. So far, from what I have seen in the Hex interface, is that there isn't a way to set up an ISCSI share. There may be a way in the truenas core ui to accomplish this. I will test this out once I am done with my migration.
