This howto is based on the excellent work made by [http://mywiredhouse.net/blog/building-freenas-xen-pvhvm-support/ My Wired House]. It aims at building [http://www.freenas.org/ FreeNAS] with PVHVM support.<br />
'''note''' : this tutorial applies to '''Freenas 9.3'''. Feenas 9.10 (based on FreeBSD 10) and upward natively includes the optimizations for Xen and LSI cards described here.
It aims at building Freenas 9.3 with PHVMH support and ultimately at putting it into production with PCI passthrough.<br />

== Building Freenas ==
 
=== Install Freenas dependencies ===
 
Cf [https://github.com/freenas/freenas/tree/9.3-STABLE Readme on Github]
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
pkg install poudriere-devel git cdrtools pxz python grub2-pcbsd xorriso py27-sphinx py27-sphinxcontrib-httpdomain-1.2.1
</syntaxhighlight>
 
=== Clone Freenas 9.3-STABLE branch ===
 
Clone the Freenas 9.3-STABLE branch from [https://github.com/freenas/freenas Github]
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
mkdir /home
cd /home && git clone https://github.com/freenas/freenas.git
cd freenas && git checkout 9.3-STABLE
make checkout
</syntaxhighlight>
 
=== A few adjustements on Freenas sources ===
 
* Modify "VERSION" in ''Makefile'' to reflect the custom release :
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sed -i".backup" 's/VERSION\?=9.3.1-STABLE/VERSION\?=9.3.1-STABLE-xen/ ; s/TRAIN\?=\${NANO_LABEL}-9.3-STABLE/TRAIN\?=${NANO_LABEL}-9.3-STABLE-xen/' /home/freenas/Makefile
</syntaxhighlight>
 
* Edit ''/home/freenas/build/nanobsd-cfg/FREENAS.amd64'' and at the end, add theses lines :
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
options        NO_ADAPTIVE_MUTEXES
options        NO_ADAPTIVE_RWLOCKS
options        NO_ADAPTIVE_SX
 
# Xen HVM support
options        XENHVM
device          xenpci
</syntaxhighlight>
 
* Remove the "problematic" "set -e" in ''create_iso.sh'' (I know, this is bad but the process would stop at this stage if not ...) :
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sed -i".backup" 's/set -e/#set -e/' /home/freenas/build/create_iso.sh
</syntaxhighlight>
 
=== Build ! ===
 
Depending on the ressources allocated to your Freebsd build machine, it will take a while !

Installation is done through the following steps :

note : this tutorial applies to Freenas 9.3. Feenas 9.10 (based on FreeBSD 10) and upward natively includes the optimizations for Xen and LSI cards described here.

This howto is based on the excellent work made by My Wired House. It aims at building FreeNAS with Xen PVHVM support and ultimately at putting it into production with PCI passthrough.

Booting the installer

  • Start the vm

  • Follow the steps to install Freenas ; choose the volume named xbd0 which reflects the use of PV drivers

Booting your fresh Freenas installation

For PCI passthrough with LSI devices such as LSI 9211-8i (LSI 9211 cards in IT mode are recommanded with Freenas), two more tunables are required ; in Freenas GUI, go to "System" -> "Tunables" -> "Add Tunable" :

  • Variable : hw.pci.enable_msi
    • Value : 1
    • Type : sysctl
  • Variable : hw.pci.enable_msix
    • Value : 0
    • Type : sysctl
