May 29, 201412 yr I have a pfsense domU (hvm) running on my cache drive and I have registered the vm via: xenman register /mnt/cache/cache_only/pfsense/pfsense.cfg Shutting down via the: Extensions->Xen Domains->pfsense->Shutdown has no effect. Worse, I am unable to shutdown the array since the domU does not respond to the shutdown. Not sure if this has to do with the fact it's using hvm. My ubuntu domU does not behave this way. I saw someone's post with the same problem. Hope there's a solution / workaround. Maybe it would make sense to move off the cache drive to a simple drive outside the array. But it I do that, I'm not sure I'd be able to auto start the VMs as I would have to mount the disk outside the array first in the go file and not sure a link in "/etc/xen/auto/" would work. I believe someone else had a similar problem.
May 29, 201412 yr It was myself with the same issue. I have not found a solution. Also moving you VM outside of the array to a mounted disk does not solve the shutdown with HVM's
May 29, 201412 yr Author Not sure if this has been answered or not, but why can't we use PV for pfsense? Guess there's an issue with it or something.
May 29, 201412 yr This is largely above my head (I rely on good folks like IB to make it simple), but you'd need a PVHVM (or PV) build for the xl console commands to work. There's a thread from the pfsense forums that is interesting, https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=64772.0. Looks like if you go to OP's blog, he's got a 64 bit iso you might try for the install. archedraft seems to have found this in the past, but I'm not sure if he fully explored it.
May 31, 201412 yr Author what about xl destroy? Right, that does it on the command line but not through the unraid interface via the xen domains icon nor does it work if you simply stop the array as it does with PV guests.
