Hi all
I'm familiar with DSM and some virtualisation such as Fusion, but I've got myself an HP Microserver G1610 and I'm trying to get it set up with ESXi 6 and Xpenology. I'm hitting a bit of a wall with the datastore though. I've a 32GB SanDisk Ultra Fit I'm using for ESXi and I'd also hoped to use to boot DSM, however this isn't available as a datastore using the ESXi Windows client, and I'm also having bother getting a SATA drive up and running with a datastore. I've stuck a 160GB drive in initially while I backup and format the larger drive from my old NAS, and I'm getting a 'cannot change the host configuration' error when trying to create a datastore with it (previously had a W8.1 install on it, and I think it was re-formatted by HP Intelligent Provisioning when I tried that).
Any tips for getting this formatted and available to ESXI? I have shell access set up for ESXi, but I'm also running into permission problems when I try and execute any commands (sudo not found, tried creating a new admin user instead of using root but not working with that either).
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
