  1. Hi , I have setup a dsm 6.1.7 on esxi 6.7. The setup is: - jun loader 1.02b vmware boot option - loader boot disk is alone on first sata port - unique data disk is on paravirtualized scsi controller - network is vmxnet3 10gb I've install all 6.1.7 updates , only packages installed are stock file station , universal search and open-vm-tools. The system will be a test environment for a spk package development so I don't need special package but need high i/o speed because my app move a lot of data. Using 10GBe as network and ssd as vmfs storage I get all performance I want. Now I'm testing the setup before starting to use it , doing that I found two problem: First , inspecting logs I see that /var/log/messages has a lot of: 2018-07-05T15:39:57+02:00 syn synostoraged: SmartDataRead(108) read value /dev/sda fail 2018-07-05T15:39:57+02:00 syn synostoraged: disk/disk_temperature_get.c:99 read value /dev/sda fail This is repeat every minute and the log file continue to grow... Now , I know that smart is not available in a vmware virtual machine but i would like to know if there's a way to disable smart check and continue error logging. Second , I've try to enable jumbo frame in the vm to maximize network performance , the virtual switch and the phisical one have both jumbo frame enable ( mtu 9000 ) and so is the client used for test. I've found a strange problem , when I use vmxnet3 ( only way to get 10gb without assign a direct nic to vm ) i can't raise mtu more than 3050 , I don't know why exactly 3050 , but if I set mtu to 3051 I get a kernel crash and the dsm hangs. This is the same raising mtu on command line or from dsm interface ( if someone would like to test the best way is use command line because a reboot solve the problem ). Using e1000e virtual adapter in place of vmxnet3 solve the problem and let me use a mtu of 9000 but obviously I get only 1GB connection. Is there some place where to see the source of the compiled modules contained in the loader or there's a way to report a bug to who maintain it ?
  2. Hi , I'm also solving same problem moving boot disk to sata. I add sata controller simply by editing vm , then I remove disk , convert to sata ( from cli using vmkfstools ) then added back to vm as first and only sata disk.
  3. ok , I found the problem... My config now is: loader: only one sata disk data disk: paravirtualized scsi network: paravirtualized vmxnet when using ds3617xs image I get: with boot option vmware I get NO DISK , in the serial console I see a kernel fault when loading mptsas. with boot option baremetal I see the disk but when I try to install dsm it fail with error 35 while formatting. I've moved to the ds3615xs , same config with vmware boot option and get it working at first try. Now I have the vm online , with vmware tools installed ( as spk ) , paravirtualized network ( 10GB ) and disks. I'm on 6.1.7-15284 update 1 , i've set update to install only critical update as feature included in 6.1.7 are ok for what I need. The only things that I need now is to add a sas/sata controller with disks directly assigned to vm. Searching for a non raid adapter i've found HP H220 that is basically an lsi 9207-8i ( LSI SAS2308 chip ), as I understand I can choose to leave the adapter assigned to esxi and make rdm to the drive in the synology vm or I can vt-d the controller to the vm and use it directly from the dsm ( using extra driver image if controller isn't recognized by default ). Is it right ?
  4. Hi , about second point , I've setup the vm , it works but in the synology hdd list I see 50MB boot drive. I use jun's 1.02b with extra drivers connected as a ide disk to vm. Other disks are from a 3ware 3650 passed to vm. Everythink works ok but I want to hide boot disk.
  5. Hi , I have a esxi6.7 with a old 3ware 3650 passed to xpenology vm , perfectly working , have you load the extra drivers image ?
