So I failed to do my research and bought "too new" of a cpu to use as an Xpenology system.
So I thought maybe not all is lost and can still make effective use of it. Virtualizing Xpenology and a linux VM
Does anyone think I is possible to use ESXI as a host and then virtualize XPE and then whatever else I need?
The board is an ASRock Z490M ITX that has both an RTL8125b and I219v. Splitting the 2.5gb off to the Xpe install and saving the 219v for the other VM(s). I would like to try to passthrough the intel gpu (i've seen it done on the internet) but, I am unsure if it works when virtualizing a 918+ for plex transcoding. The only other portion of XPE I would use would be some of the integrated hyper backup capabilities to back up my Synology units. All of my VM experience is through virtualbox; essentially zero knowledge with ESXI or any other VM host.
I would pass through a couple of 3TB WD Reds for the storage portion of Xpenology
Am I way out in left field or does anyone see this is a viable solution?
