John3 Posted February 9, 2016 Share #26 Posted February 9, 2016 Hi guys...interesting read - i too have ESXi 6.0 with Xpenology running and have been looking for a way to use a UPS to gracefully shut the VMs and host down if required...looks like i have sourced a UPS, however need VM tools to be working. Did anyone succeed in getting open vm tools working on esxi 6 with Xpenology? Thanks in advance open-vm-tools works fine on ESXi 6.0, tried it myself. Please see following article on how to install open-vm-tools on XPEnology: https://idmedia.no/projects/xpenology/i ... xpenology/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasmith83 Posted February 9, 2016 Share #27 Posted February 9, 2016 Hi, thanks for the post. Can you just confirm the version of open vm tools you're running successfully with ESXi 6.0 please? Just to make sure i get the right one. Also, i read somewhere that people had volumes crashing, upon startup of xpenology, post "graceful" shutdown via vm tools - have you experienced this at all? I'm only really looking to use this in an emergency, as i'm looking to configure a Cyberpower UPS which when on battery can gracefully shut the VMs and eventually the host down too. But ideally, i'd like the volumes to be intact one reboot! lol To confirm - I'm running DSM DS3615xs_5592 with the latest update - currently not moved to the 5644 version yet. Thanks again, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasmith83 Posted February 11, 2016 Share #28 Posted February 11, 2016 Is anyone able to confirm what VM Tools version works with ESXi 6.0? Tested working? I really don't want to brick my XPEnology server but using the tools... thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasmith83 Posted February 14, 2016 Share #29 Posted February 14, 2016 FYI for anyone else interested in this feature... I just bit the bullet and installed the package https://download.xpenology.fr/XPEnology/565e27e7cbd9cb0d97819f126887b64d/56c0f347/open-vm-tools_bromolow-5.1_9.10.0-2476743-1.spk ...onto my DSM 5.2-5592 running on esxi 6.0 and am pleased to say from the first test, a Guest Shutdown, worked perfectly and booted back up afterwards with no issues. Hopefully, if i ever need to shut it down in this way, it will work as well again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzy Posted March 2, 2017 Share #30 Posted March 2, 2017 @sancome: Would it be possible for you to compile a open-vm-tools version that works with DSM 6.1? I installed DSM 6.1-15047 on a 6.0 ESXi. Unfortunately the open-vm-tools_bromolow-6.0_10.0.7-1.spk doesn't install. I get the error message: "This package is not supported on the platform of diskstation or is incompatible with the current DSM version."

haydibe Posted March 2, 2017 Share #31 Posted March 2, 2017 gits68 was so kind to share the URL to his spksrc fork of the open-vm-tools: https://github.com/gits68/spksrc/tree/d ... n-vm-tools Get yourself the latest spksrc docker image, pull the sources and give it a try. Worst case, you might need to merge the spksrc master into the branch to make it DSM 6.1 compliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sze Posted March 13, 2017 Share #34 Posted March 13, 2017 Hi, I test it again and get same error. I use DSM 6.1-15047 Update 1 and open-vm-tools_bromolow-5.1_9.10.0-2476743-1.spk. Error is: This package is not supported on the platform of DiskStation or is incompatible with the current DSM version. Looks like its Update 1.

Ikyo Posted August 14, 2018 Share #46 Posted August 14, 2018 I downloaded the version that I found and it works for 6.2. I must have had an older version. Thank you for updating it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tattoofreak Posted March 11, 2019 Share #47 Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) Does somewhere exist a tutorial of how to compile open-vm-tools? I want to try that on my own so that I can always have the latest version for my xpenology system.

I was at the point when it successfully created a package after a lot of struggle and I thought that was it but the package itself was empty and I did not found out why. My knowledge is too limited I guess but I am really willing to learn. Any chance you would help me out with this? Maybe you already have a step-by-step instruction what to do? Thanks a lot in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
