[Enabling serial port in ESXi for a VM]

A little help for everyone who struggles a little bit with enabling the serial console in ESXi. This manual works 1:1:

https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/vmx15.1f4/topics/task/configuration/vmx-vm-connecting-vmware.html

 

in short:

 

# at ESXi:
open Firewall for serial Console

 

# at VM:
add Serial Port 1
- Use Network
- Connect at Power
- Direction: Server
- Port URI: telnet://:8601

 

In PuTTY the connection will be made as:

Type: Telnet

Hostname: IP-of-your-ESXi-Host

Port: The-port-you-entered-in-the-config-of-the-VM (e.g. 8601)

 

With this you have at every time contact to the Xpenology-VM-Console even a driver wont be load with a upgrade (like in Loader 1.02a).

U sir are amazing maluch appreciated

I'm getting the error message: Failed to format the disk (35) after the discovery and upload of the PAT files.

 

ESXi 6.7 fresh installation

Loader 1.03b

DSM_DS3615xs_23824.pat AND

DSM_DS3615xs_23739.pat

 

First drive to sata controller 1 on 0:0

2nd drive on sata controller 2 on 1:0 (16Gb)

 

Tried 2 different hard disks Hitachi and Seagate but both gave the same error message.

 

Any hints since I'm out of ideas?

 

 

Are you runing in vmware? if so have you removed the cd/dvd rom?

 

also best option is to delete the whole boot image and re-upload it and try again! set it to sata 0:0

Ok so if anyone interested,

 

The bootloader that support this by default is!

 

1.02b and 1.04b (latest dam 6.2.1 update 4 works well )

[Tutorial: Install DSM 6.2 on ESXi 6.7]

Also note you need to match the dsm file to the bootloader!

I used Ragz's MAC address in both the VM and the grub.cfg file but the e1000e VNIC is still not showing up on the network. The potential differences that I can see from some of the others is that I am using BIOS to boot instead of EFI and need to put the synoboot.vmdk on IDE 0 (Master) instead of SATA 0. Also the VM is type 14 and the S/N is not in any way correlated to the MAC address

 

Hopefully someone can suggest other things to try.

 

Thanks.

 

P.S.: FWIW, I have DSM 6.1.7 running as a VM with V1.02 bootloader on the same ESXi 6.7 server with a e1000 VNIC. CPU is Haswell i3-4130

Do this, this is quite simple, create a vm with exsi switch to manual mac and copy that mac to grub.

 

User the bootloader 1.03b and latest dsm it works without any issues!

 

Use the dhcp server to see what IP address it has taken or try using assistant, but in some large network it cant pickup the dsm running in the network!

Hi Guys,

 

Can someone help me out, i tried installing xpenolgy with the following scenarios but nothing seems to help obtain an ip address! i am not sure bootloader supports realtek GBE nic in the unit!

 

Jun's Loader

V1.03b ds3615 and ds3617 (Not Obtaining IP Address)

V1.04b ds918 (Not Obtaining IP Address)

 

I have set the mac and vid/pid also, not sure what else to do!

 

DHCP Server is running without issues, i can get everything working in vCenter / Exsi Server 6.5/6.7

 

Do i have to add drivers etc? if so how do i do it?

 

Thanks in advance!
