Hello everybody,
first of all thanks for all the effort that went into this whole xpenology project, really cool stuff!
I recently bought a used HP Microserver gen 8 with a XEON E3-1240 and a HP P420 Raid Controller.
My plan was to run Xpenology virtualized with ESXI 6.7 and passing through the P420 controller directly to the VM. Unfortunately, I have trouble using the extra.izma from this thread because once I replace the original one, the VM does not show up in the network anymore.
Here is what I did:
- Download Juns 1.0.3b loader for ds3615
- Download the extra_izma ds3615 DSM 6.2.3 v0.11_test from this thread
- Replacing the extra.izma file in the loader
- Downloading the DSM_DS3615xs_25426.pat and replacing the rd.gz and the zImage as well
- creating and booting up the vm (tried all available network adapters including e1000e)
For some reason, updating the extra_izma breaks my VM (or at least the network adapter as the Vm is not coming online at all). With the original file from Jun, the VM shows up but of course my storage controller from the passthrough does not show up then.
Any ideas what could have gone wrong? I spent quite some time on this now and I am already thinking about selling the P420 and doing RDM and handling SMART on ESXI level... It would be awesome, if s.o. mybe faced similar issues and can help me out!
Cheers,
