  1. Hello everyone. I had to move my esxi and dsm6 from old hp microserver gen8 to same spec another motherboard. And while doing it I give a shot to dsm7. Sata Controller Passthrough to DSM7VM like DSM6. Its very slow to boot. like 20 minutes to login screen. Then when entering password its giving error of "system is getting ready please try again later" vs.vs. And It takes almost 20-30 minutes. My Arc Loader VM at NVMe and DSM7VM has 4gb / 8gb ram with 8 core.
  2. Hello everyone. First of all thank you for reading my long post. My setup at below. HP Microserver Gen8 Intel Xeon E3-1270 V2 @ 3.50GHz 16 GB RAM 4x 4 TB WD Red 1x 240 SSD It was on ESXI 6.0 and DSM 6 with old Jun loader. 240 SSD for ESXi Datastore. All disks was on B120 with every disk separate Raid 0 including SSD. 4x 4 TB disk was on DSM by ESXi RDM. At DSM big Raid 5 volume for all data And My ups failed and after several (actually lots of) power failure all of my disk show red System Partition Failed. But everything works perfectly including packages (Unifi, Sickrage, Transmission etc.etc) I dont have time to found a fix that and simple forget it. :( Then 2nd disk dropped Raid 5. Raid volume was degraded. I tried to add it back but it fail. It wont show SMART due B120. So I made a big changes. Add a PCI-Express to NVMe adapter on Graphic Card port with Samsung 970 EVO 500 GB disk. ESXi immediately see this fast SSD. Create new datastore and move all VMs from old SSD to this new bloody fast SSD. After that I change B120 Raid mode to SATA AHCI at Bios. Then Passthrough the Cougar Point 6 port SATA AHCI to DSM6 VM. All works as expected. Now it show disk real names (WD Red instead of HP RAID) and works SMART. After that successfully migrating, I tried to to add 2nd disk to Raid 5 again. It show bad sectors but Raid volume reinitialized. Next step I upgrade ESXI 6 to 6.7 Update 1 HP Image and DSM 6 to 6.2 with Jun 1.02B loader. After some failures due new loader, I finally work with "set sata_args='sata_uid=1 sata_pcislot=5 synoboot_satadom=1 DiskIdxMap=1F SataPortMap=116 SasIdxMap=0'" settings (thank you @i5Js). Now readded 2nd number disk show in green but 1st, 3rd and 4th number disk still show red and system partition failure. I know I have to change 2nd number disc because of bad sectors but how can I fix system partitions?
  3. Hi. I scratch build again my HP Microserver Gen8 with 4x 4TB WD Red. B120i with each disk own RAID 0 array. ESXi 6 u2 HPE image. All disk RDM attached. VM booted from XPEnology ISO. So far so good but all disks number is same. Disk 1. My VM is SCSI and all disk on different SCSI id like SCSI 0:1 . SCSI 0:2 . SCSI 0:3 . SCSI 0:4. Why its happening and how can I fix it.
  4. I know iLo just iLo not include BIOS but my brand new unit already shipped with latest J06 BIOS. 2015.07.16 Also I already run SPP on my system. But I just realize a new SPP just come out. 2016.04.0 http://h17007.www1.hp.com/us/en/enterpr ... x#tab=TAB1 I think that. But if I passthrough whole B120i Raid controller or AHCI controller then I also passthrough my SSD. So I dont have any other drive for ESXi datastore. Including XPEnology VM. I'm already doing this. 5 Raid 0 Arrays for each disks. But my disks have data. I know If I had another big capacity disks or NAS I was thinking to backup all my data and start from scratch with B120i - Raid 0 each disk separately RDM all disks it will work. But my concern is If I cant use my AHCI disk on Raid 0 arrays on ESXi reverse thing also fail. If my MS Gen 8 broken I want my Raid 0 arrayed disk usable on another system. I want to know why my previously AHCI attached and data contained disk isnt trully passed over B120i Raid 0 Arrayed and RDM to XPE. I dont want to use any PCI-E card on this system. I will add an NVIDIA card for Cuda.
  5. Disks showing unknown parititon table on ESXi with RDM.
  6. fdisk -l shows my drive but its starts from sdc. not from sda Is that a problem ?
  7. Yes I think I have same 40 degree bug. Today I remove my SSD. Set SATA controller to B120 RAID. Create 4 x RAID 0 for each hard drive. And I mount Xpenology ISO with ILO. So I boot XPenology from real PC. When I try to logon via browser it want to reinstall. Not just install. Reinstall. This means he finally found volume but something not right. I reinstall with DSM 5.2 pat file. Then its fixed. Then I put my SSD to 5th ODD sata port. And create another RAID 0 for SSD. Put ESXi USB back to inside USB port. Boot from ESXi. Create DSM virtual machine. Create RDM files for each disks via SSH. Add this disks to DSM virtual machine. Same orders as ILO Storage show order. Mount XPenology ISO to DSM virtual machine. And boot the VM. But it show install. Not reinstall. I think this mean he didnt find disks or volume on disks. And If i click to install will I loose my volume ? How can I check disk and volumes on DSM boot?
  8. Hi Everyone. First of all XPEnology is great fun project. I hope its never end or Synology wont block all of us and we will use future release (DSM6) with our customs systems. I bought 1 months ago HP MS Gen8. What a beatiful and usefull small piece of system. But I have some weird problems. Mine system come with G1640T and 4 GB memory. After some trials I change some parts. Intel Xeon E3-1270 v2 - 4 x 3.5 Ghz 2 x 8 GB Kingstone 10600 Mhz ECC 4 x 4TB Western Digital Red NAS Disks 1 x 240 GB SSD AHCI Mode At first I use HP Custom ESXi 6 Update 1 image from Jan 2016 with MicroSD card. But sometimes when I reboot system it wont see the card. I know that is card of iLo problem. Then I move to USB stick for ESXi. But couple of time USB make some problems and I reinstall. Know I'm using another USB. At that stage I have G1640T and 4GB Ram. Last week ESXi 6 Update 2 rolled out. And I made fresh install on USB. It found my datastore on 240 GB SSD. I create Physical RDM files for my 4 x 4TB Disks and create DSM 5.2 VM. So far so good. I have good speed (100-110 mb write over Samba) and I copy almost all data from my old Zyxel NAS to DSM 5.2. Then I reboot ESXi and DSM wont start. It said it cant lock file or somethink like that. After couple restart it start but it freeze. VMWare Embedded Web Client wont freeze but I cant even stop DSM. Even after couple restart nothing change. Then I look ESXi Logs. I saw lots of errors. 2016-03-23T23:50:04.959Z cpu5:32796)ScsiDeviceIO: 2613: Cmd(0x439d80362680) 0x85, CmdSN 0x2f from world 35341 to dev "t10.ATA_____WDC_WD40EFRX2D68WT0N0_________________________WD2DWCC4E4XPHS2P" failed H:0x0 D:0x2 P:0x0 Valid sense data: 0xb 0x0 0x0. 2016-03-23T23:50:04.964Z cpu5:32796)ScsiDeviceIO: 2613: Cmd(0x439d80362680) 0x85, CmdSN 0x2f from world 35341 to dev "t10.ATA_____WDC_WD40EFRX2D68WT0N0_________________________WD2DWCC4E4XPHS2P" failed H:0x0 D:0x2 P:0x0 Valid sense data: 0xb 0x0 0x0. 2016-03-23T23:50:05.022Z cpu5:32796)ScsiDeviceIO: 2613: Cmd(0x439d80362680) 0x85, CmdSN 0x2f from world 35341 to dev "t10.ATA_____WDC_WD40EFRX2D68WT0N0_________________________WD2DWCC4E4XPHS2P" failed H:0x0 D:0x2 P:0x0 Valid sense data: 0xb 0x0 0x0. 2016-03-23T23:50:05.035Z cpu5:32796)ScsiDeviceIO: 2613: Cmd(0x439d80362680) 0x85, CmdSN 0x2f from world 35341 to dev "t10.ATA_____WDC_WD40EFRX2D68WT0N0_________________________WD2DWCC4E4XPHS2P" failed H:0x0 D:0x2 P:0x0 Valid sense data: 0xb 0x0 0x0. 2016-03-23T23:50:05.063Z cpu5:32796)ScsiDeviceIO: 2613: Cmd(0x439d80362680) 0x85, CmdSN 0x2f from world 35341 to dev "t10.ATA_____WDC_WD40EFRX2D68WT0N0_________________________WD2DWCC4E4XPHS2P" failed H:0x0 D:0x2 P:0x0 Valid sense data: 0xb 0x0 0x0. 2016-03-23T23:50:05.076Z cpu5:32796)ScsiDeviceIO: 2613: Cmd(0x439d80362680) 0x85, CmdSN 0x2f from world 35341 to dev "t10.ATA_____WDC_WD40EFRX2D68WT0N0_________________________WD2DWCC4E4XPHS2P" failed H:0x0 D:0x2 P:0x0 Valid sense data: 0xb 0x0 0x0. 2016-03-23T23:50:05.106Z cpu5:32796)ScsiDeviceIO: 2613: Cmd(0x439d80362680) 0x85, CmdSN 0x2f from world 35341 to dev "t10.ATA_____WDC_WD40EFRX2D68WT0N0_________________________WD2DWCC4E4XPHS2P" failed H:0x0 D:0x2 P:0x0 Valid sense data: 0xb 0x0 0x0. 2016-03-23T23:50:05.115Z cpu5:32796)ScsiDeviceIO: 2613: Cmd(0x439d80362680) 0x85, CmdSN 0x2f from world 35341 to dev "t10.ATA_____WDC_WD40EFRX2D68WT0N0_________________________WD2DWCC4E4XPHS2P" failed H:0x0 D:0x2 P:0x0 Valid sense data: 0xb 0x0 0x0. 2016-03-23T23:50:05.157Z cpu5:32796)ScsiDeviceIO: 2613: Cmd(0x439d80362680) 0x85, CmdSN 0x2f from world 35341 to dev "t10.ATA_____WDC_WD40EFRX2D68WT0N0_________________________WD2DWCC4E4XPHS2P" failed H:0x0 D:0x2 P:0x0 Valid sense data: 0xb 0x0 0x0. 2016-03-23T23:50:05.161Z cpu5:32796)ScsiDeviceIO: 2613: Cmd(0x439d80362680) 0x85, CmdSN 0x2f from world 35341 to dev "t10.ATA_____WDC_WD40EFRX2D68WT0N0_________________________WD2DWCC4E4XPHS2P" failed H:0x0 D:0x2 P:0x0 Valid sense data: 0xb 0x0 0x0. And this errors for all of my hard drives except SSD. Even I see errors for USB Stick which is only used for boot. Even I delete RDM files and just restart ESXi without starting any vm I can see this errors. And after lots of errors like 2000s its starting to reseting AHCI ports. I tried switch B120i Raid Mode and create Raid0 for each drive but I can see similar "failed H:0x0 D:0x2 P:0x0 Valid sense data: 0xb 0x0 0x0." type errors. Not so much as AHCI but it still. I cant be sure is second hand Xeon CPU or new rams problematic or ESXi. Becasuse even I remove all HDDs I can see this errors for USB. 2016-03-24T00:01:01.316Z cpu5:32796)NMP: nmp_ThrottleLogForDevice:3298: Cmd 0x9e (0x439d80429b80, 0) to dev "mpx.vmhba32:C0:T0:L0" on path "vmhba32:C0:T0:L0" Failed: H:0x0 D:0x2 P:0x0 Valid sense data: 0x5 0x20 0x0. Act:NONE For now I'm booting XPEnology ISO directly on real hardware. But I really want ESXi. Dont want to go Hyper-V route. I know lots of people using same microservers with esxi + xpe. Is anyone see similar problems. Can anyone check logs of vmkernel for me. I will try reinstall ESXi 6 Update 2 on another USB. By the way I just install latest iLo 2.4 which is not released yet. HP site showing 1 April for release. If anyone interested here is the link.
