DSM 6.1.3-15152 Update 7 ----->ALL OK from the controlpanel ----check

Running esxi 6.5 with jun 1.0.2b DS3617xs on ESXI. I updated within dsm control panel aswell. No problem so far....

Hey! here is a guide you can follow for pass through https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1010789 do you actually have your physical disk connected to a sas controller ? If not you don’t need passthrough for dsm. If you are using virtual discs then just add new hard disk before you can install dsm.

Updated My ds3617xs on Jun1.02b loader. Esxi 6.5 - No problems

Hello imran! how is it going? so if I understand it correctly, you have created new harddrive(in esxi for the vm?) ----for install of dsm? and created existing harddrive for the vmdk file right? do you have a SAS controller with passthrough in esxi or just adding software discs images in esxi for dsm install? regards K

hey again! yes I started all over in ESXI, created a whole new VM. I created Xpenology DSM 6.1.3 where I then uploaded the vmdk file and the boot file. When I turned on the new Vm and I got ip number from the xpenology nas. I then started the synology Assistant and in that I could see the Ip and it had found "dsm 5.2" filesystem on it. Status "migration able" or something like that. I guess the DSM filesystem is stored in the raid somehow? I typed the ip adress of the nas in IE and I came to the promt where to choose install/upgrade/Migrate my xpenology. I choose to keep my data etc and then chose the PAT file. Hit install and it did and then rebooted. when I checked everything was OK, I deleted my old dsm 5.2 VM in esxi.

Hey! I can write exatly what I did: My hardware: Motherboard supermicro X10SL7-F with xenon E3-1265L, Passthrough SAS controller and I have 8discs. ESXI 6.0 I had dsm 5.2 and wanted the lastest 6.1.3 update 4 edition. I chose to read up on Tutorial: Install/Migrate DSM 5.2 to 6.1.x(juns loader) I downloaded the latest loader 1.02b ds3617. Then I opend the imagefile with OSFmount. edited the grub file like I wanted it to be. saved the changes and unmounted the image. I did not bother the vid/pid becasue im using ESXI. I made the VM in esxi 6.0 memory 4gb cpu number of virtual sockers 2 and number of core per socket 4 hardidsk for the vmdk file(synoboot.vmdk) network adaoter 1 my pci device 0 = sas card passthrough I uploaded the image(synoboot) to my datastore to folder Xpenology dsm 6.3.1 I then created a notepad fil with this content: # Disk DescriptorFile version=1 CID=5a3f7f5f parentCID=ffffffff isNativeSnapshot="no" createType="vmfs" # Extent description RW 102400 VMFS "synoboot.img" 0 # The Disk Data Base #DDB ddb.adapterType = "lsilogic" ddb.deletable = "true" ddb.encoding = "UTF-8" ddb.longContentID = "5cfc609b86db2c06834ece425a3f7f5f" ddb.thinProvisioned = "1" ddb.toolsInstallType = "4" ddb.toolsVersion = "10247" ddb.uuid = "60 00 C2 9a ee da ca 33-df 5e 04 3f 80 55 f9 62" ddb.virtualHWVersion = "10" I saved the file synoboo.txt to desktop. Then uploaded to my datastore in the same directory as before "Xpenology dsm 6.3.1. Then renamed that file to synoboot.vmdk I downloaded the PAT file DSM 6.1.3 PAT file for the ds3617xs started the VM and then opend the synology assistant program. I never disconnected my raid from dsm 5.2 just left it. When I got the IP number of the nas I could choose migrate in the synology assistant. I could manually choose the PAT file. It ran the update rebooted and then I came to the login. After it updated all the packages I ran the dsm 6.3.1 update 4 within the dsm without any problem. It then ran som raid scrubbing witch took som time (10TB data) It has now been up for some dats without any issues! any more questions feel free to ask. regards K
