Hi all, Hope you are all well at this very strage moment in history. So, the topic... I am running: VMware ESXi-6.7.0-20191204001-standard-customized (VMware, Inc.) DSM 6.2.2-24922 Update 6, 3617xs HP Microserver Gen8/E3-1220 V2, Latest firmware and iLO HP P420 PCIe RAID w/ 4x HDD, RDM - ready to attach to VM (tested an working) HP Cougar Point AHCI w/ 2x SSD - passthrough, connected to VM Install and update was flawless, I set the following in grub.cfg: set sn=xxxxxxxxxxxxx set mac1=xxxxxxxxxxx DiskIdxMap=0C00 SataPortMap=1 Post install, the boot drive is hidden and my disk numbering starts at my second disk (SATA 1:0) I have my data disks set to RDM and have tested them with this config, the connect as disks 2,3,4,5 (SATA 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4) I have disconeccted them while i figure out this issue (they ar not in the screenshots) The issue: My passthrough for the AHCI starts at disk number 33 and only one SSD is present, both are connected (see attached pic), both SSD work fine and were attached and visible in ESX prior to enabling passthrough. I would like the 2x SSD in passthrough visible in DSM so I can setup SSD caches, however I need some pointers on what I am doing wrong. I am guessing it is something to do with SataPortMap? Can anybody help this dude under quaratine, opr likewise, if you have any questions about this etup, fire away
