open-vm-tools works fine on ESXi 6.0, tried it myself.
Please see following article on how to install open-vm-tools on XPEnology:

Could you please explain how you installed the HP SIM pack so that you are able to see all those sensors?
Here is a screenshot of my sensors on my N54L running "HP Custom Image for ESXi 5.5.0 U2 GA Install CD" with a free license.
smartmontools (smartctl) works with RDM drives in terminal of DSM, but DSM uses synodisk (synology tool) to read temps, and it returns -1 when I guess it doesn't have access to the controller.
Now I understand, thank you for the explanation.
Very nice tutorials, keep up the good work.
Is the SMART status working in DSM when you run gnoBoot and Synology DSM 5.0 in ESXi 5.5 with Raw Disk Mapping?
Thanks
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?

Did you find your answer and get it working?
You need to login with SCP using the username "root" and not the name used to login to DSM, password remains the same as you created at setup.
Thank you for the information. That was exactly the answer I was looking for.
