Chrunchy Posted August 12, 2019 Share #1 Posted August 12, 2019 How are your guys network setup for your Xpenology to your other VM's or even your esxi host? I've been using esxi's E1000e since VMXNET 3 doesen't work on 6.2.2, but i sure miss faster filetransfers than 1gbit. In my search to be able to transfer files faster than 112MB/s to a windows VM i'm primarily using, i tried passing through a 10gbit NIC (Intel X550) and it was detected by xpenology just fine at first boot. I passed another 10gbit NIC to my Windows server VM and was able to transfer files with ~4gbit between the two VM's. This setup however requires me linking a networkcable from one NIC directly to the other since i don't have any 10g switch. Windows VM: 1x 1gbit Intel i350 NIC passed trough for internet/LAN network. 1x 10gbit NIC passed through - networkcable connected directly to Xpenology VM assigned 10gbit NIC. Xpenology VM: 1x esxi E1000e for general internet/LAN network. 1x 10gbit NIC passed trough connected directly to Windows VM's assigned 10gbit NIC. Are there any other solutions than the above (Besides buying a 10g switch) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibicu Posted September 2, 2019 Share #2 Posted September 2, 2019 I ran an iperf3 between SYnology VM (using E1000e) and another Linux VM on the same host and I got 10Gbps transfer speeds. The internal Esxi virtual switch operates at 10Gbps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
