koroziv Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share #26 Posted June 12, 2015 I have vmware tools installed; chrome is taking 1 minute to start. I'll try to get another xp vm, x64 this time and see if it's better. I have no idea what ISCSI LUN is, I'll do some reading on that when I can. Is there a way to install vmware tools on xpenology vm ? don't fell the need for it, just asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadie Posted June 12, 2015 Share #27 Posted June 12, 2015 Sancome released those a few months ago. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nr8d24zqchzs ... 1.spk?dl=0 Just download and do manual install in package center in xpenology webgui. I don't remember, but I think without vmware tools you can't do a proper shutdown/restart of Xpenology from vSphere client. ISCSI LUN and ISCSI Target are basically the "sata" over the ethernet. You can attach disk over the lan network it will appear as real harddrive on the target system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koroziv Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share #28 Posted June 13, 2015 I found why was my windows xp vm so slow... damn hp drivers ! I was having read speeds below 1MB/s; I folowed this guide : https://communities.vmware.com/message/2487188#2487188 How to install scsi-hpvsa-5.5.0-88 on ESXi 6 on HP microserver gen8 (if an other scsi-hpvsa-driver is installed) 1. Stop all VMs 2. Enable ssh-conection 3. Copy "scsi-hpvsa-5.5.0-88OEM.550.0.0.1331820.x86_64.vib" to /tmp (using WinSCP) 4. Start ssh-conection (using putty) 5. chage directory to /tmp cd /tmp 6. Copy the vib file to /var/log/vmware cp scsi-hpvsa-5.5.0-88OEM.550.0.0.1331820.x86_64.vib /var/log/vmware/ 7. Start maintenanceMode esxcli system maintenanceMode set --enable true 8. Deinstall the running scsi-hpvsa driver esxcli software vib remove -n scsi-hpvsa -f 9. Install scsi-hpvsa-5.5.0-88 esxcli software vib install -v file:scsi-hpvsa-5.5.0-88OEM.550.0.0.1331820.x86_64.vib --force --no-sig-check --maintenance-mode 10. Restart ESXi, stop maintenanceMode, disabel ssh and start VMs again The drivers are here : http://vibsdepot.hp.com/hpq/nov2014/esx ... ibs/hpvsa/ Now my windows xp read speed is around 85 MB/s ! Not sure if that is the best but is "just" 85 times faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z1022 Posted February 1, 2016 Share #29 Posted February 1, 2016 Hi koroziv , Which mode are you use ? Raid, AHCI or legacy mode ? When I use ESXI in AHCI or Legacy mode. The write speed is very poor. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
