Hardware and Performance / Re: ESXi 7.0 Paravirtual Controller OPNSense 20.1 not detecting disk

Thanks all, switching to the LSI controller did the trick.

I wonder will the opnsense installer ever include the paravirtual controller driver in the future?

Hardware and Performance / ESXi 7.0 Paravirtual Controller OPNSense 20.1 not detecting disk

« on: July 08, 2020, 06:57:56 pm »

Hi All,

I see there are several posts about vmware and opnsense configurations. I have tried to install OPNSense 20.1 on a ESXi 7 guest, but the installer does not detect any drives attached to the system.

The confioguration is fairly straight forward, guest is configured as follows:

* Paravirtual SCSI controller
* 20GB SCSI Hard Disk
* 1 x VMXNET3 NIC
* 1 x PCI-Passthru Realtek NIC
* 2 x CPU Cores
* 8GB Memory
* VMWare Guest OS version is set as "FreeBSD 12 or later versions (64-bit)"

How have you out there managed to install OPNSense with a paravirtual hard disk controller?
Do I need to change the controller to one of the other LSI type controllers for it to detect the drives?

I'm using the "dvd" image which apparently has the complete installation on it.

Any tips/tricks and/or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hardware and Performance / Deciso DEC2600 Performance Question(s)

« on: March 07, 2020, 05:24:47 pm »

Hi,

I would like to find out if the Deciso DEC2600 will be able to handle a 1Gbps WAN connection (at max speed) with approx 10 devices on the LAN side.

The firewall will also have 2 VPN connections.

My main question is will it be able to handle WAN at max speed.

This is for a home office setup, but I don't want to limit my internet speed. Currently I have a VM that is capable of delivering this speed also with the two VPN connections up, but I'm looking for a solution that is a little more efficient on the power side.

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Thanks for reading.
