Hi guys,
i am new to the xpenology game.
My System:
Server with ESXi 6.7
16 GB RAM
Quad Core AMD CPU
1 TB SSD for VMs
4 Bay
4x4 TB WD Red Plus (WD40EFRX)
Raid5
I followed the instructions of this thread "Tutorial: Install DSM 6.2 on ESXi 6.7"
Worked great.
Now i am struggeling with hard disk management.
Because it's an esx server platform i don't want to give the dsm vm the hole 11 GB datastore storage.
I played a litlle with the storagepool and volume settings but can't find the right method.
I only need/want 1 volume so that the shares are not so clustered over many volumes.
How do i proceed if i only want 3 TB at the beginning and at more storage later if i need some?
I tried to expand the disk in the esx vm settings but can't expand the disk in dsm.
So, can someone explain a good or best method for my target scenario?
