unkyjoe Posted December 8, 2018 Share #51 Posted December 8, 2018 I got mine up and running using the 3615XS image. However anytime I give the VM more than 2GB of ram it goes into a reboot loop. I even tried giving the VM 8GB of Ram Anyone seen this issue ? Thanks in advance :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jbrown7815 Posted December 8, 2018 Share #54 Posted December 8, 2018 Btw if anyone has issues getting 3615xs upgraded from 5.X, try to use 3617xs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unkyjoe Posted December 10, 2018 Share #55 Posted December 10, 2018 Tried it by reserving, still shuts down after about 2 minutes, does not reboot, just powers the VM off. Tried 4GB and 8GB but made no difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marvine Posted December 11, 2018 Share #62 Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) @luchuma I also tried when i left all menu open and just choose the esxi option Also with the default or a random mac adress it dont work. Anyone have ideas what could be wrong ? if i choose the default mac adress can it be that the serial number need to be changed ?

The virtual nic, used for your virtual machine. As noted here that's what you need to use in ESXi if your are on DSM 6.2.1 or highter.

marvine Posted December 11, 2018 Share #66 Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the matrix im going to change the Virtual switch to e1000e Make a update later on @bearcat I need to change the driver of the pyshical NIC right ? atm they are all E1000 Edited December 11, 2018 by marvine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearcat Posted December 11, 2018 Share #67 Posted December 11, 2018 @marvine Actually, those are NOT physical nic's, they are drivers for your virtual nic's, used by your VM, but YES that is the driver you need to change for the virtual nic (or nics) you are using for your Virtual XPEnology NAS. If you have only 1 vnic in your VM, then that is the one to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvine Posted December 11, 2018 Share #68 Posted December 11, 2018 @bearcat So if i change it in the vmware settings to e1000e its not enough ? and yes that are the pyhiscal adapters any idea how to change One nic to e1000e ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearcat Posted December 11, 2018 Share #69 Posted December 11, 2018 I'm not sure how well you know the "Virtual World", but lets just "KISS" (as I don't have time/patience to make you understand the difference on physical and virtual components, lets just say: anything anyone can bang there head into , is physical ) Yes, change the the wmware settings to e1000e instead of the e1000 you have been using on your VM for the NAS.

marvine Posted December 11, 2018 Share #70 Posted December 11, 2018 @bearcatSorry i write it down wrong i meant can i change the driver settings in the virtual machine and then set the network adapter there to e1000e Or in the virtual nic under network settings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJJL Posted December 29, 2018 Share #74 Posted December 29, 2018 (edited) Hi all, thanks for this clear tutorial. I have DSM up and running now. However, as soon as I start DSM, I can no longer reach ESXi (via neither web interface nor ssh). I assume there is something wrong in the network interface as DSM overrides access to ESXi. Where should I change this? NB: I took the exact same MAC address for DSM as the physical network controller has. Is this correct? Ultimately, I would like all my VMs to be addressible via unique IP addresses; but I do not fully understand the virtual networking part of ESXi yet. If someone knows of a great tutorial for this, I would be very happy to hear! Thanks! J Edited December 29, 2018 by JJJL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear JJJL, that is exactly the problem. Now you have two hosts with the same MAC-address, one physical and one virtual. ESX should not allow this, imho, but that's on another page. Shut down your vDSM and give it a MAC-address you generate, e.g. from here: https://jsfiddle.net/7Lorpu77/ Don't forget to edit the syslinux.cfg, not just change the mac-address in ESX Cheers and good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
