jack3317 Posted January 8, 2021 Share #1 Posted January 8, 2021 Based on an article I found on google under "Emulate HDD as SSD flash disk on Esxi and VMware workstation" Thanks to virtual geek. Howto implement: · Stop the Xpenology VM · Add an SCSI Controller VMware paravirtual as additional device · Add 2 identical sized virtual disks and check that they are connected to the scsi controller · Edit the xpenology.vmx (or whatever your vm is called) file using putty and add the following for the disks scsi0:0.virtualSSD = "1" scsi0:1.virtualSSD = "1" · startup the vm disks are visible as SSDs in storage manager · Add write cache under SSD Cache · That’s it. Currently running on version 6.2.3-25426 update 3 on backup environment. xpenology ssd cache howto.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

endormmc Posted May 24, 2021 Share #3 Posted May 24, 2021 Nice, really really nice! But, does it really impact on normal use? What is your experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zteam_steven Posted May 25, 2021 Share #4 Posted May 25, 2021 I failed, adding SCSI controller VMware paravirtual did not recognize the new hard disk. How does your grub.cfg content configure the controller? jun' loader 1.03b ? I'm the virtual ds3617xs DSM 6.2.3-25426 up3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
