    [SOLVED] Install on vmware ESXI

    in DSM 5.2 and earlier (Legacy)

    Posted

    Did you set the script to be executable? [chmod +x S22open-vm-tools.sh]

     

    Yes, I did

     

    Upon startup you should see "Starting VMWare Tools:" in the logfile if the [s22open-vm-tools.sh] script is executed.

     

    actually I do not see this since kernel modules are not loaded at boot for some reason and probably because of this tools fails to load. How modules installed by S37vmware.sh should be started?

     

    When starting the VMTools manually do they start up, and are visible in ESXi vSphere? [/opt/bin/vmtoolsd --background /var/run/vmtoolsd.pid]

     

    after I load modules manually and then run S22open-vm-tools.sh or /opt/bin/vmtoolsd --background /var/run/vmtoolsd.pid, tools are started and are seen by vSphere Client as third party tools

     

    Can you control the running VMTools through vSphere [manually or automatic?]

     

    I can send reboot or other command once without effect on DSM machine, but next time vSphere client fires an error

     

    Check the logs to see if there is anything failing, or if the vmtools daemon can't start, etc.

     

    can you tell which logs should contain VMware tools entries and is there any tools specific logging which can be enabled?

     

    Thanks for your help!

    Does anyone know where the sources for the different (compiled) cgi scripts are located?

     

    I am trying to find out how the disks/volumes are managed and am not getting any further from the cli commands alone; so i was trying to do a top down aproach;

    unfortunately i cant find the source for the cgi scripts...

     

    Are those not included in the source code (and where do they come from then)?

     

    Thx

     

    Synology apps managing disks are not open source :sad:

    hello peoples,

     

    i have the following Problem; i have installed the DSM42 on a vmware esxi 5.1 Server. all running fine, but only the nfs service seems not work.

    the ports for the nfs Server is open, but i can't connect to it (i have tried *, IP/NETMASK, ... nothing works)...

     

    service runs, but i cannot connect to the dsm42 nfs service...

     

    has anybody a solution for this?

     

    many greets!!

     

    modify 19th line of /usr/syno/etc/rc.d/S83nfsd.sh to add auth_rpcgss just before rpcsec_gss_krb5:

     

    KERNELMODULEV4="auth_rpcgss rpcsec_gss_krb5"

     

    and then run /usr/syno/etc/rc.d/S83nfsd.sh restart

     

    while starting it should look as:

     

    Starting NFS server...

    :: Loading module auth_rpcgss ... [ OK ]

    :: Loading module rpcsec_gss_krb5 ... [ OK ]

    :: Loading module exportfs ... [ OK ]

    :: Loading module nfsd ... [ OK ]

    Hi tsygam,

     

    do you confirm that the Jetway NF9E-Q77 is working flawlessly with the adaptec 7805 ?

    I have tested this mobo with an Adaptec 2405 and any OS will freeze at startup.

     

    Hi!

    for me Jetway NF9E-Q77 works with 7805 without any issues. The card is not that fast at boot, but it seems to be normal. Running latest Adaptec's firmware & drivers. Though you will not be able to see adaptec's health status in esxi client, ie Adaptec is not recognised as storage in health section, i've read somewhere that it is posible for LSI cards.

     

    PS: The only thing I could not make working at NF9E-Q77 is boot via AMT after power outage AND having bios set to keep previous state - the box is shut down by UPS and i want to boot it from another server only if power is on long enough and UPS battery is more than say 30%. Have you played with these things?

    My bad forgot to build AACRAID driver, will be included in next update. No idea with CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES.

     

    Thanks! just please take the latest from Adaptec's site http://www.adaptec.com/en-us/speed/raid/aac/linux/aacraid-linux-src-1_2_1-30200_tgz.htm

     

    As to CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y seems to be needed to create another virtual port, link it to one synobios is using and try cheating it https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/devpts.txt. Please enable this for experimenting.

    Hi Trantor,

     

    - Add / update Network / SATA / SCSI / SAS / USB drivers

     

    Could you please add drivers for Adaptec's cards http://www.adaptec.com/en-us/downloads/linux_source/linux_source_code/productid=sas-7805&dn=adaptec+raid+7805.html

     

    Many thanks in advance!

     

    Adaptec drivers buit-in the kernel (in changelog):

     

    Adaptec AIC7xxx (New Driver)

    Adaptec AIC79xx U320

    Adaptec AIC94xx SAS/SATA

     

    Hi Trantor!

     

    Thank you for noting my msg, though I am afraid I was talkig about different drivers - aacraid for SAS/SATA RAID Adapters rather than HBAs, or I completely misunderstand something?

     

    PS: would enabling CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES allow virtual port creation to communicate with synobios? If so please enable too.

    Hi, many thanks to all contributed to DSM on on PC and on ESXi!

     

    just wanted to share my small experience so far.

     

    CPU: Xeon E3-1265L-v2

    MB: Jetway NF9E-Q77

    HDD: 500Gb Hitachi

    SAS/SATA: Adaptec 7805, so far only 1Tb WD SATA disk is connected for testing (the disk has MBR)

     

    - compiled aacraid.ko for DSM from the source code avaliable at Adaptec's site

    - enabled pcipassthru for 7805 in ESXi

    - added PCI controller to DSM's VM

    - added pciPassthru0.msiEnabled = "FALSE" to my .vmx file

    - copied aacraid.ko and arcconf (command-line tool for linux x64) to DSM

    - insmod aacraid.ko

     

    I do not have dmesg and arcconf outputs to post now but both aacraid.ko and arcconf seems to work.

    DSM does see the diskas eSATA, but as opposed to arcconf, DSM does not display SMART in its web shell - SMART is not supported msg pops up.

     

    Will keep playing :smile:
