I am not sure if I am posting in the correct forum, so apologies if not. I have an existing XPEnology 6.2 install on a Dell R420 server with two HDD's attached to a PERC H710 Mini in RAID mode. I have previously tried a baremetal upgrade to DSM 7.1.0 without success. I tried adding the mpt3sas extension, but it doesn't see the drives. I figured that I could solve that problem by running a hypervisor and virtualizing the controller. I am running VMWare ESXi 7.03Uf3 on a separate HDD attached to the H710. I configure and boot the tcrp 0.8 loader. I can see the VM and I can login to SynologyNAS on port 7681. I don't understand the timeout waiting for /dev/synoboot. It looks as if it sees both of the data drives and the tcrp VMDK drive. Can someone help me figure this out? SynologyNAS> cat /var/log/junior_reason Exit on error [99] rp ext init exec failure...
