I have done a search around but cannot find any solutions to my problem. If anyone else had the same issue and fixed it, that'll be very useful.

[...] I have the same problem. Did you find a solution? Synology boots up and its written, that it is recoverable. I can only choose to recover. It then installs DSM and reboots just after a few seconds. After the reboot, its the same screen again, only "recover"... I am in a loop - has this something to do with the MAC address? I used the MAC address shown in this tutorial (00:0C:29:FD:75:B1) -> i configured it in grub.cfg and in the VM in ESXi.

Ws6_ Posted March 30, 2020 Share #266 Posted March 30, 2020 Thank you OP!! Excellent write up, worked on first try. ESXI - v6.7U3 - Success DSM - DSM 6.2.2-24922 Update 4 - Success IMG - DS3617xs - Success My esxi host crashed so I decided to update from 6.7 to 6.7U3. I did not setup a new Xpenology VM, instead I did a recovery. I use a raid card in pci pass-through to as an additional safeguard for my data.

luchuma Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share #273 Posted April 22, 2020 and i can confirm that vmxnet3 vnic is working on 6.2.3 with 3615xs and 3617xs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyride Posted April 23, 2020 Share #274 Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) As of yet nobody has posted an attempt to install 3617 on 6.2.3 under ESXi, so I went to check it. Confirming it works fine with the addition of FixSynoboot.sh, but requires DiskIdxMap=0C00 in grub.cfg for drives to start at /dev/sda (isn't this true for all ESXi installs, I don't recall seeing this in the tutorials? - but I have 0C00 on all my test ESXi systems). vmxnet3 works too!

endormmc Posted May 2, 2020 Share #275 Posted May 2, 2020 On tutorial it says "now add another sata device" please edit it and write "now add another sata controller" I was going mad trying to setup new drives as sata1:0 without adding a second controller. Later I noticed the second controller in a couple pics below.... Another sata device can lead to misunderstandings. I'm rereading my sentences and it seems that I'm complaining, but that's not true, English is not my mother tongue. I'm just trying to help. Also when uploading the files I created a folder (xpe3615) and then I created the new vm with the same name, xpe3615. I think that this created a conflict or similar in ESXi (because the name of the upload folder and vm folder is the same). I just began again with different names and it worked. Maybe it's only me, its 2:30AM and I'm very tired..... Thanks a lot for the tutorial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
