rafaelmazola Posted July 12, 2015 Share #1 Posted July 12, 2015 Folks, first of all thank you for all the hard work on developing and maintaining this awesome appliance. I am running the latest version as a virtual machine in vSphere ESXi 6.0. I have a PCIe SSD datastore that I would like to create two vmdk to be used as caching devices by Synology. When I present them to my Synology virtual machine the sofware recognizes them as HHD not SSD. Is it possible to tag the device so it recognizes as SSD? I don't want to passthrough the entire device. I rather use a vmdk. I have also already tried to add scsiX:Y.virtualSSD = 1 to the vmx file but the virtual machine still doesn't recognize as SSD. Any thoughts or ideas? Is there a way to force XPEnology to map a virtual device as SSD? Thank you!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renedis Posted July 28, 2015 Share #4 Posted July 28, 2015 If you want them to show up add the vmdk as a IDE device. But keep on dreaming, Synology Cache does not work in a virtual environment. Trust me, I've tried it loads of times. Yes you can add them as cache disk, it even starts too sync, but the sync will fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
