Supermicro firmware: For IBM M1015 / LSI Avago 9220-8i Here’s instructions to flash the firmware: I strongly suggest pulling all drives before flashing. Flash HBA to IT FirmwareĪs of FreeNAS 9.3.1 or greater you should be flashing to IT mode P20 (looks like it’s P21 now but it’s not available by every vendor yet). I’m using DC S3700s because that’s what I have, but this doesn’t need to be fast storage, it’s just to put FreeNAS on. Also get one (preferably two for a mirror) drives that you will plug into the SATA ports (not on the LSI controller) for the local ESXi data store. The LSI2308/M1015 has 8 ports, I like do to two DC S3700s for a striped SLOG device and then do a RAID-Z2 of spinners on the other 6 slots. 1 for SLOG / ZIL, and one to boot ESXi and install FreeNAS to.

Added sections 7.1 (Resource reservations) and 16.1 (zpool layouts) and some other minor updates. Also, I believe Avago LSI P20 firmware bugs have been fixed and have been around long enough to be considered stable so I’ve removed my warning on using P20. This guide was originally written for FreeNAS 9.3, I’ve updated it for FreeNAS 9.10. If you run into any problems and ask for help on the FreeNAS forums, I have no doubt that Cyberjock will respond with “So, you want to lose all your data?” So, with that disclaimer aside let’s get going: I should note that I myself would not run FreeNAS virtualized in a production environments. This post has had over 160,000 visitors, thousands of people have used this setup in their homelabs and small businesses. This is roughly based on Napp-It’s All-In-One design, except that it uses FreeNAS instead of OminOS. This is a guide which will install FreeNAS 9.10 under VMware ESXi and then using ZFS share the storage back to VMware.
