fredo Posted June 4, 2014 Share #1 Posted June 4, 2014 Hello, I posted a very complete tutorial where all steps are fully detailed: - Presentation of HP server N54L - Changing the server hardware (adding 16GB of RAM) - Patch bios - Installation of ESXi 5.5 on USB key - Installing VMware Sphere Client 5.5 - Creation of the virtual machine with DiskStation Nanoboot 5.0.2.4 on original disk 250GB - Mount data disks in RDM - Installation of DSM 5-4482 You can find this tutorial here: http://www.domotique-fibaro.fr/index.php/topic/1277-nas-synology-dsm-5-sur-serveur-hp-n54l-vmware-esxi-55/ To consume without moderation with a box of paracetamol!

jca1981 Posted July 1, 2014 Share #3 Posted July 1, 2014 Why would i install it in esxi instead of just installing it on bare metal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolvn Posted July 20, 2014 Share #4 Posted July 20, 2014 Just like the one above, I have similar question?? What different between ESXi and bare metal? What is the minimum hardware for each? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnapps Posted July 20, 2014 Share #5 Posted July 20, 2014 viewtopic.php?t=3490#p20909 So the real question to be raised is: why the hell virtualization was invented? The question is simple: to raise efficiency and to lower costs! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPEH Posted July 20, 2014 Share #6 Posted July 20, 2014 So the real question to be raised is: why the hell virtualization was invented?The question is simple: to raise efficiency and to lower costs! Additional huge benefit of virtualization is independence and abstraction from the hardware. Virtual machines can be moved to different hosts and upgraded as needed without hunting for drivers and troubleshooting hardware compatibility issues. On larger vSphere cluster installations its done without even stopping/restarting virtual machines. The best candidate for virtual machine is an application server, there CPU and RAM is important and storage is secondary. For storage server/NAS the benefits of virtualization are questionable as those servers by their nature rely on the direct hardware control and low power hardware. I only use DSM on virtual machines to test the features and as proof of concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
