shinrei82 Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share #26 Posted January 10, 2015 As you know I want to run esxi and xpenology, Mac OS, Windows as virtual. To have access to the screen of the mac os for sample, I can specify one particular video output like DVI? To want to have access one vm via screen, keyboard and mouse only.

XPEH Posted January 10, 2015 Share #27 Posted January 10, 2015 As you know I want to run esxi and xpenology, Mac OS, Windows as virtual.

Its not how ESXi works. on the screen you will only see ESXi console for limited management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markluv Posted January 20, 2015 Share #28 Posted January 20, 2015 I'm finally starting my build today. I received a bad mother board and had to RMA. I've install esxi on a usb and compiled the nic drivers into esxi. I'm about to start the Xpenology install and its my first install. I have the bios configured for RAID but i didn't configure the RAID because i want to configure the RAID in Xpenology. I have a concern about that though. I would have to pass the hard drives to xpenology and let xpenology control the RAID and to do this i would have to have pass through capabilities in esxi correct? When i go the advanced settings and look at direct I/O configuration it says pass through isn't supported. I have the same exact build thats posted at the beginning of this thread. Am i missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markluv Posted January 21, 2015 Share #29 Posted January 21, 2015 I've successfully worked through this problem and have Xpenology up and running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinrei82 Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share #30 Posted January 21, 2015 Hi, Glad you took same hardware I have configured the RDM with the vmkfstools tool. Xpenology should manage directly the disk. Weirdly, i have checked the advanced settings and see the pass through is not supported too... How can we confirm xpenology have all access to the disk? On Storage tab, I can not test the SMART of my disks :s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpbaril Posted February 2, 2015 Share #31 Posted February 2, 2015 Hi/Salut shinrei82, I'm looking to build a new NAS based on XPEnology in the coming days, and saw that you plan to also make it an Hackintosh. I would also like to do that for the same reason of using Lightroom, so please keep give news on your process. Thanks/Merci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinrei82 Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share #32 Posted February 2, 2015 Hi / salut, It should work but not tried yet. I have found this guide for gamers. For us that need less performance, it should be fine http://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articl ...

On Storage tab, I can not test the SMART of my disks :s Hi, Check again the BIOS, i do not see the VT-d option which is supposed to display right under the Intel Virtualization Technology. Probably the reason on ESXI, the DirectPath is not supported. My BIOS is on the lastest one (F4). Someone can confirm he has the option VT-d ??

shinrei82 Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share #34 Posted February 14, 2015 Damn it, my processor Intel I3 4340 does not support the VT-d !?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diverge Posted February 15, 2015 Share #35 Posted February 15, 2015 Damn it, my processor Intel I3 4340 does not support the VT-d !?? It would have only been useful to you if you had an HBA card to passthrough (like LSI Raid/HBA card running in IT mode). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganddy Posted March 8, 2015 Share #36 Posted March 8, 2015 Please share if anyone has already set this up. I've been trying set this up myself too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinrei82 Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share #37 Posted March 8, 2015 Hey I replaced my I3 4340 to I5-4570T. I have the feature VT-D and I can see devices available to direct patch. One of my friend (vmware expert) said RDM is useless for recent esxi. I Will remove my config according to this advice.
