CentOS Install 3 minute read Wanted to throw this together for anyone else who may be looking everywhere on how to do this as well. Running ESXi4. 1 on an HP machine, with only remote access to the host ssh shell and the vmware console no iLO, is there a way to gather a hardware report from the. Free. NAS 9. 1. 0 on VMware ESXi 6. Guide. This is a guide which will install Free. NAS 9. 1. 0 under VMware ESXi and then using ZFS share the storage back to VMware. This is roughly based on Napp Its All In One design, except that it uses Free. NAS instead of Omin. OS. Disclaimer  I should note that Free. NAS does not officially support running virtualized in production environments. If you run into any problems and ask for help on the Free. NAS forums, I have no doubt that Cyberjock will respond with So, you want to lose all your data  So, with that disclaimer aside lets get going Update Josh Paetzel wrote a post on. Virtualizing Free. NASso this is somewhat official now. I would still exercise caution. Update 2 This guide was originally written for Free.

NAS 9. 1. 0.  Also, I believe Avago LSI P2. Ive removed my warning on using P2. Added sections 7. Resource reservations and 1. Get proper hardware. Example 1 Supermicro 2. U Build. Super. Micro X1.

Im using DC S3. 70. I have, but this doesnt need to be fast storage, its just to put Free. NAS on. 2. Flash HBA to IT Firmware. As of Free. NAS 9. IT mode P2. 0 looks like its P2. I strongly suggest pulling all drives before flashing. LSI 2. IT firmware for Supermicro. Heres instructions to flash the firmware http hardforum. Supermicro firmware ftp ftp. DriverSASLSI2.

You can boot into an Ubuntu Live. CD and use hdparm, instructions are here https www. SSDOver provisioningusinghdparm  You can also do this after after VMware is installed by passing the LSI controller to an Ubuntu VM Free. NAS doesnt have hdparm. I usually over provision down to 8. GB. Update 2. 01. But you may want to only go to 2. GB depending on your setup One of my colleagues discovered 8. GB over provisioning wasnt even maxing out 1. Gb network remember, every write to VMware is a sync so it hits the ZIL no matter what with 2 x 1. Gb fiber lagged connections between VMware and Free. NAS.  This was on an HGST 8. Intel DC S3. 70. 0 and it wasnt virtualized setup. But thought Id mention it here. Install VMware ESXi 6. The free version of the hypervisor is here. I usually install it to a USB drive plugged into the motherboards internal header. Under configuration, storage, click add storage. Choose one or two of the local storage disks plugged into your SATA ports do not add a disk on your LSI controller. Create a Virtual Storage Network. For this example my VMware management IP is 1. VMware Storage Network ip is 1. Free. NAS Storage Network IP is 1. Create a virtual storage network with jumbo frames enabled. VMware, Configuration, Add Networking. Virtual MachineCreate a standard switch uncheck any physical adapters. Add Networking again, VMKernel, VMKernel  Select v. Switch. 1 which you just created in the previous step, give it a network different than your main network. I use 1. 0. 5. 5. IP and 2. 55. 2. 55. Some people are having trouble with an MTU of 9. I suggest leaving the MTU at 1. MTU of 9. 00. 0.  Also, if you run into networking issues look at disabling TSO offloading see comments. Under v. Switch. 1 go to Properties, select v. Switch, Edit, change the MTU to 9. Answer yes to the no active NICs warning. Tally Invoice Format Free Download more. Then select the Storage Kernel port, edit, and set the MTU to 9. Configure the LSI 2. Passthrough VT d. Configuration, Advanced Settings, Configure Passthrough. Mark the LSI2. 30. You must have VT d enabled in the BIOS for this to work so if it wont let you for some reason check your BIOS settings. Reboot VMware. 7. Create the Free. NAS VM. Download the Free. NAS ISO from http www. Create a new VM, choose custom, put it on one of the drives on the SATA ports, Virtual Machine version 1. Guest OS type is Free. BSD 6. 4 bit, 1 socket and 2 cores. Try to give it at least 8. GB of memory.  On Networking give it two adapters, the 1st NIC should be assigned to the VM Network, 2nd NIC to the Storage network. Set both to VMXNET3. SCSI controller should be the default, LSI Logic Parallel. Choose Edit the Virtual Machine before completion. If you have a second local drive not one that youll use for your zpool here you can add a second boot drive for a mirror. Before finishing the creation of the VM click Add, select PCI Devices, and choose the LSI 2. And be sure to go into the CDDVD drive settings and set it to boot off the Free. NAS iso.  Then finish creation of the VM. Free. NAS VM Resource allocation. Also, since Free. Free VMware and AIX performance monitoring and capacity planning. Skip it in case of VMware installation. The tools does not support OS agent on VMware VMs as it is not necessary v.

It requires the OS agent deployment to every monitored LPAR. The agent is written in Perl and calls basic OS commands to obtain required statistics like vmstat, lparstat and svmon.
