Hi there.

I have installed freenas with success on a few baremetal HP Micro servers in the past but am having issues passing though my AHCI controller from ESXI to Freenas on a new rig.

Freenas sees the disks when installed on the machine in bare metal but not through ESXI.

System:
- Supermicro X10SDV-8C-TLNF4 motherboard
- Intel Xeon D-1541 processor
- Onboard 6ch Sata Intel C220 Lynx Point AHCI Controller (set to AHCI mode)
- 4x WD4000FYYZ Sata drives for Freenas
- 1TB M.2 NVMe wds100t3x0c-00sjgo SSD in the M2 slot running ESXI and Virtual images
- 32gb ECC ram
- Supermicro CSE-721TQ-250B 4 bay case


I have tried Freenas 11.3U4 on ESXI 7.0 and ESXI 6.7U3.

The Lynx point AHCI Controller shows up as passthrough capable in both versions of ESXI (although I have read that ESXI 7 no longer has drivers for the Lynx Point AHCI)

ESXI shows:

0000:00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation Lynx Point AHCI Controller [vmhba0]

ESXI:

but we don't see any disks or the AHCI PCI device in Freenas on ESXI 7.0 or ESXI 6.7U3 when we enable passthrough.

Freenas 11.3U4 on baremetal shows:

which sounds right as Lynx Point is the codename for the c220 chipset.

I Realise this is possibly more of a virtualisation problem than a Freenas problem, but having gone through many forum posts It seems that it's mainly Freenas users who are passing AHCI controllers through from ESXI so hopefully someone here can help shed some light on what I am doing wrong here. Maybe others have had success with similar hardware and different software versions? Maybe I am missing a firmware update somewhere?

Also, yes, I realise that virtualising is a great way to mess up a Freenas pool but I plan to replicate the data accross multiple machines or maybe across physically removable pools in a larger baremetal server (hmmm.... maybe a question for another day)

Many thanks in advance

Hi there.

I have installed freenas with success on a few baremetal HP Micro servers in the past but am having issues passing though my AHCI controller from ESXI to Freenas on a new rig.

Freenas sees the disks when installed on the machine in bare metal but not through ESXI.

System:
- Supermicro X10SDV-8C-TLNF4 motherboard
- Intel Xeon D-1541 processor
- Onboard 6ch Sata Intel C220 Lynx Point AHCI Controller (set to AHCI mode)
- 4x WD4000FYYZ Sata drives for Freenas
- 1TB M.2 NVMe wds100t3x0c-00sjgo SSD in the M2 slot running ESXI and Virtual images
- 32gb ECC ram
- Supermicro CSE-721TQ-250B 4 bay case


I have tried Freenas 11.3U4 on ESXI 7.0 and ESXI 6.7U3.

The Lynx point AHCI Controller shows up as passthrough capable in both versions of ESXI (although I have read that ESXI 7 no longer has drivers for the Lynx Point AHCI)

ESXI shows:

0000:00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation Lynx Point AHCI Controller [vmhba0]

but we don't see any disks or the AHCI PCI device in Freenas on ESXI 7.0 or ESXI 6.7U3 when we enable passthrough.

which sounds right as Lynx Point is the codename for the c220 chipset.

I Realise this is possibly more of a virtualisation problem than a Freenas problem, but having gone through many forum posts It seems that it's mainly Freenas users who are passing AHCI controllers through from ESXI so hopefully someone here can help shed some light on what I am doing wrong here. Maybe others have had success with similar hardware and different software versions? Maybe I am missing a firmware update somewhere?

Also, yes, I realise that virtualising is a great way to mess up a Freenas pool but I plan to replicate the data accross multiple machines or maybe across physically removable pools in a larger baremetal server (hmmm.... maybe a question for another day)

Many thanks in advance

Seems like it just ought to work!

I have a FreeNAS 11.2-U8-on-ESXi 6.7 system based on a SuperMicro X10SDV-TLN4F motherboard, very similar to yours. I pass through the same SATA controller, just as you're trying to do. It works fine.

What do you see on your virtualized FreeNAS system when you run pciconf -lv | grep -i ahci?

Here's what my system shows:
Code:
root@brutus:~ # pciconf -lv | grep -i ahci
ahci0@pci0:2:1:0:       class=0x010601 card=0x07e015ad chip=0x07e015ad rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
    device     = 'SATA AHCI controller'
ahci1@pci0:3:0:0:       class=0x010601 card=0x086d15d9 chip=0x8c028086 rev=0x05 hdr=0x00
    device     = '8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family 6-port SATA Controller 1 [AHCI mode]'
root@brutus:~ #
So you don't see 'Lynx' on FreeNAS -- just C220, etc.

I assume you locked all of the FreeNAS virtual machine memory? I think ESXi 6.7 forces you to lock memory for VMs with pass-through devices, but I'm not sure about that.

Hi Spearfoot. Great post on setting up freenas on ESXI by the way.

I just locked all the memory (16gb), rebooted and no change. I get the VMware AHCI controller and not the C220 AHCI when I run your grep command. Are you running the latest 6.7 build of ESXI? 6.7.0 Update 3 (Build 14320388)?

I may try installing your version of freenas in a new VM.

Thanks

I have just installed
FreeNAS 11.2-U8 on
ESXI? 6.7.0 Update 3 ​
with locked memory and I still don't see the C220 AHCI controller in freenas :(

I may try resetting the Bios settings just in case (although I have gone the bios a few times)​

thanks

Yeah, by all means check the BIOS and make sure you've installed the latest version available from SuperMicro.

Also, here is @Stux's excellent build report on setting up an All-in-One, perhaps you'll find something there that helps:

Build Report: Node 304 + X10SDV-TLN4F [ESXi/FreeNAS AIO]

The goal of this build was firstly to provide a strong 6-bay NAS, Plex server and offsite backup for my Primary NAS. Also, it needs to run ESXi in a performant manner, and will host Windows, OSX, Linux guests, as well as a pfSense gateway. The ESXi installation was the pilot project for an ESXi...

Also, make sure your ESXi installation's XML device settings aren't dorked up. You can edit a system file and enable pass-through, if it comes down to it -- see this link:

Configure ESXi to pass-through the X10SL7-F motherboard SATA controller

By default, VMware ESXi 6.0 does not make the X10SL7-F motherboard's SATA controller available for VT-d passthrough. Because who in their right mind would do such a thing? :-) Well... I do! I've never used the motherboard's SATA controller; I boot from a Dell H200 HBA. Recently I wanted to add...

VMware is far from infallible; at work I've had to edit XML system setup files to get VM auto-start to work correctly. It got botched somehow.

Quick Update. I wrestled with ESXI for a while and could not get it working. I tried Proxmox the other day and it is a far more enjoyable process.

Proxmox seems far more configurable and a much nicer place to be. It also suppors ZFS so my ProxMox system SSD has all the ZFS goodness (virtual image snapshots and rollback etc)

I got the AHCI passthrough working nice and simply. I also passed the GPU through to windows but only after a lot of config tweaking (learnt a fair bit) I realised that I enabled Intel Virtualisation Technology but not Interrupt Remapping in the bios.

In case anyone else is having problems with Virtualisation and Passthrough then you might want to enable these settings (in amibios at least):

Advanced =>
- Intel Virtualisation Technology

Advanced => Northbridge => IIO Configuration => Intel VT for Directed I/O (VT-d) =>
- Intel VT for directed I/O (VT-d)
- ACS Control
- Interrupt Remapping

I can't remember whether these were on or off with ESXI but they definately need to be on for GPU passthrough in Proxmox.
