[Running 6.2.3 on ESXi? Synoboot is BROKEN, fix available]

You have one virtual sata controller, with a 20GB virtual data disk in slot 0, the loader in slot 1 and a 50GB virtual data disk in slot 2.  You can see you are booting from the loader on sata1.

 

Best practice is to have two virtual sata controllers, this is easy in ESXi but I don't know ProxMox.

vsata0 should have only the loader in slot 0 (sata0) and boot from that device.

vsata1 should have your virtual data disks in sequence, slot0 = 20GB, slot1 = 50GB, etc.

 

If it is hard to set up two virtualsata controllers, one vsata controller should work, with loader in slot 0 and virtual disks to follow slot 1, slot2, etc.

 

DSM is generating a confusing error message about the non-standard placement of the loader device, but the script is correctly unmounting it and hotspare ejecting it as required.

 

Thank you so much.. Never could get the virts to work.. but just changing the order of those drives, and booting from slot 0 seems to have fixed issue..

 

Thanks Again

It does look a little strange.  Can you share a list of the virtual controller and drives you are using?  Do you possibly have two loader devices mounted to your VM by accident?

 

Hope not.. although I am new to all this and learning as I go..  

 

Here is pic of ProxMox hardware for VM.. 104 is upgrade in question..

 

 

and here is how options are set:

 

 

Anything not look right?

 

Thanks

how about consulting a real log file in /var/log?

might be more detailed about what drive and whats going on

 

Any hint on which of the log file(s) to look thru?

 
Here is message log from new shutdown to start-up.. 

Would you happen to see anything that means anything to you?

Thanks

HPz230 - Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1246 v3 @ 3.50GHz   
Successful 918+ DSM 6.2.1-23824 Update 6 w/Junes 1.04b ProxMox Install

 

After updating to 6.2.3-25426 Update 2.. Everything still loaded and seem to work fine, 
but I no longer saw the /dev/synoboot folders.. So after finding this thread.. I ran the .sh fix..

 

Now the folders are back.. but I'm getting these errors in log on every start and stop..

Have backups of pre-update.. and folders are there w/NO log messages..

Is this common, expected, or possibly something I should be concerned about?

Thanks
