[Esxi DSM 6 ovf deploy - Jun's loader]

Hi All,

I have a XPenology DSM that was running on 5.2-5967 fairly happily, with a bunch of data and shares configured.

 

Someone has updated it and broken the thing.

 

I have used this OVF loader to install and it's working fine. Should I be able to just map the VMDK's to this new Synology instance and it should pick up the disks?

Yeah so I spun up a Windows 10 VM

 

Copying from it at under 5MB/Sec at the moment

 

Something seriously wrong here what is it!

To confirm - getting 5MB/Sec at the moment

 

Boooooo

Hi everyone,

 

I'm more of a windows admin but I'm implementing something for a Mac heavy client of mine who's just chasing a storage solution amongst other VM's that will eventually reside on his server.

 

I've spun up a VM on an ESXi 6 host with the following specs.

 

Host: Xeon E5-2620 (12 Logical Cores), 12GB Memory, 2 x 3TB SAS RAID-1, 2 x 1TB SAS RAID-1. (on a H730 Controller)

 

I've allocated the XPEnology VM 2 vCPU's and 8GB Memory.

 

The base OS is installed on a 10GB partition on the 1TB Array, I've mapped the 3TB directly as a Raw LUN - SCSI contorller is Paravirtual.

 

At this stage, performance is shite.

 

Haven't yet installed VMWare tools but surely that's not the issue.

 

Any tips here? Or am I better bypassing the Hardware RAID and using software RAID within Synology (surely not!!??)

 

Tips appreciated!
