    Well I not really knows for bootloader as sata disk, maybe it works the same as usb ... but with bootloader as usb disk, you will need to change vid/pid to match the usb disk bootloader to be able to get the update working.

    You can find instruction how to change to usb disk bootloader, or how to change vid/pid and SN in this website:

    Well i'm using as sata... but using sata or usb in proxmox how can i identify the vid/pid that i have?

    Hello,

     

    It is possible to have the speaker/beep working with baremetal installation ?

    DS3615xs / DSM 6.2.3-25426 Update 2 

    Hp microserver N54L/3615XS baremetal plus sata expansion

    Hello,

    I'm running, as topic title says, hp N54l bare metal with latest dsm as of today everything works great.

    Usb, plus 4 hdd bays used and 1 ssd for cache. My question is, as i have an spare pci sata expansion card marvel 9215 that can provide more 4 satas ports i try to put it. After boot, no disk connected to the pci sata expansion, everything boots ok and works without problem. Shutdown connect an extra hdd and cannot boot.

     

    Should i need to do something in synoboot?

     

    Thanks

    Does anyone experience any real slow down accessing their DSM when trying to log into the WEBUI when you have stuff copying to a share.

     

    I noticed that I copy stuff to a share then trying to access the WEBUI everything just becomes super slow.   Does this happen to anyone else?

     

    My setup is HP GEN8 running ESXI 6.5 U2 with RDM.

     

     

    Where do you have your esxi installed?

     

    I feel the same... For instance when Kodi is updating the library (from xpenology nfs) I cannot play nothing

     

    I have esxi installed in sdcard and xpenology disk passthrough via a lsi card. Esxi datastore is in hba odd port ... Can't figure where the bottleneck is... But it is there somewhere

    In theory there no any barrier, but You should use nesting virtualization in Proxmox under ESXi.

     

    But for me it is strange to use Virtualization inside Virtualization to use XPenology. 

    yah ... to me too but esxi is so slow 😕

     

    I must have esxi to have xpenology... but then all my vm's are slow

    How can i add virtual SSD to DSM for cacheing? (ESXi 6.7 + Gen8 Microserver)

    @bearcat i'm running microserver gen8 with xeon e3.1265 v2 and 16gb ram with esxi 6.7 booting from sdcard

     

    - I have a ssd 500gb in odd port 5 as esxi datastore, for two VMs (ubuntu server 8gbram and xpenology 2gbram)

    - I'm using a lsi1015 for the 4 drives to passtrought them to xpenology (where i have the tv shows shared via nfs)

    As far as I know, virtual SSD can't be used as SSD cache.

    In my experience, SSD cache can only be used with pass-through-ing host SATA I/F and SSDs.

    If you tried with success, please post about that.

     

     

    BTW, My recommended configuration for ESXi system is following.

     

    In the following config, whole system is hosted with SSD cache & (almost) all drives are managed by DSM.

    It performs well and notifies me on any disk troubles. I'm satisfied with this configuration. 

    (I think) It's not so complex, but has enough performance & good flexibility. 

     

    I hope this helps.

     

     

    My recommended XPEnology based configuration of ESXi system:

    • boot ESXi from USB drive (as you do)
    • Add 1 disk for VMFS datastore (& use it's disk inteface directly for ESXi). (this datastore is just for booting "Host DSM" VM) (*1)
    • Make 1 XPEnology VM as "Host DSM" VM and pass through All disk interfaces (other than above one) to the VM.
      (This VM is used only for ESXi datastore & ESXi host.)
    • Add all other HDDs / SSDs to make XPEnology VM & setup SSD cache & format disk group with ext4 (for VM performance). 
    • Create share folder for ESXi datastore using nfs export (better for performance & good maintainability with SMB access.
      you can add SMB access for direct maintenance of the datastore from client PCs.)
    • Add that nfs exported datastore from ESXi
    • Add your own VMs on that datastore (*2)
    • Add Another XPEnology VM ("User DSM" VM) with thick provisioned vmdk, formatting with btrfs (for usual file sharing, etc.).
      Add users & apps only on "User DSM". (*3)

     

    *1) If you don't use USB sharing for VM, you can use USB disk for this datastore, perhaps.

    *2) I can also add Windows/MacOS Desktop VM with pass-through-ing GPU and USB. (Choose ESXi 6.0 for hosting mac. You can still use vCenter 6.5 or later.)

    *3) The only I wish but I can't is H/W encoding with DSM6.1 + DS916 VM.  (Perhaps, you have to pass-through host's iGPU. I don't have such iGPU system.)

     

    @benok can you please explain a little further... i don't understand what are you suggest... but it sounds good.... (performance i like performance :p) after point two i get brain damage 😛

     

    I have a micro gen8 with lsi, i boot from sdcard esxi

    Have a ssd that is the datatore in the odd sata port and then have two 4TB disk on lsi passthroug to synology vm... the performance is good compared with hp raid controller but isnt the best...

    Cool :)

     

    Pour le loader en 1.04b, ma version ne semble pas opérationnelle chez moi. J'ai fait un rapide test et la VM ne trace rien du tout dans les logs. Donc je vais le retirer et reessayer d'en faire un autre.

    It appears the ds918 version only work with cpu haswell or newer... so it will not work in gen8
