    No SMART does not work with Raw Disk Mapping. BUT if you use ESXi pass though with VT-d it does work. Will be doing a video on this as well. Also this might get fixed in a future version of gnoBoot.

    Ok. Thanks for the fast reply. The issue is that I have a HP N54L and it doesn't support VT-d. This is the only thing that prevents me to run DSM in ESXi. When I tested OMW(OpenMediaVault) SMART worked fine with RDM, so hopefully gnoBoot will figure this one out.

     

    @gnoBoot: Do you think it's possible to get SMART working running gnoBoot and Synology DSM in ESXi with Raw Disk Mapping?

     

    I don't think so. :sad: I've read it here that you need to enable/disable RDM filter to make it work. I just couldn't remember which thread it was. :grin:

     

    You have it all here sir: :wink:

    How to check HDD SMART status:

    1. Shut down Synology VM

    2. Clear the RDMFilter flag on your ESXi server:

    - Configuration - Software - Advanced Settings - RdmFilter.HbaIsShared=OFF - Click OK

    3. Start Synology VM

    4. SSH login

    5. Check the first RDM drive in the array:

    - smartctl -a /dev/sda

  2. I had to wait for a few replication jobs but after restarting the VM still no SMART on my devices.

     

    Can't remember what "smartctl -a /dev/sdc" says about Vendor, Product, Revision (VMware, Virtual Disk, 1.0 or something else) but it does not work.

     

    Just thinking: I suppose that you have SMART option enabled in BIOS... :idea::?::twisted:
