Vodka2014 Posted March 14, 2021 Share #1 Posted March 14, 2021 Hi All, So i have built myself a new setup and having issues with Synology VMM. So what i would like to know is there any point for me to Re-Do my setup on Proxmox or ESXI. I have the Hardware and I can move my data to build a new RAID 5 Setup etc.... If this is an good Idea how will i go about it and what is the Recommendations. Thanks in advanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vodka2014 Posted March 14, 2021 Author Share #5 Posted March 14, 2021 Thanks @IG-88 So what would be Recommended and is there an install guide I can follow. I do not know what i should do or what is recommended. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG-88 Posted March 14, 2021 Share #6 Posted March 14, 2021 i#d suggest reading the tutorial for esxi and trying it first with a test vm before doing it with the real disks in general you cant passthrough a controller that is used by esxi itself like for booting disk or a data store having vmdk files so if you only have onboard sata and boot esxi from a disk on that controller you will not be able to pass through it to a vm https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/13061-tutorial-install-dsm-62-on-esxi-67/ i'm not the expert with esxi and dsm, i'm using baremetal and for test's its vm's on virtualbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodka2014 Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share #7 Posted March 15, 2021 Thanks alot @IG-88 So you will state ESXI over Promox ? I will be adding my Disks and Pass though for DSM as they all have Data on them. I will check out the link you posted but if there is an Preferred Method of how this needs to get done i will gladly test it on my test server to make sure all is 100%. I take it i can use an Low Profile GPU to get better Display etc... Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadreel Posted March 15, 2021 Share #8 Posted March 15, 2021 It does not matter which hypervisor you use. (ESXI, Proxmox. Virualbox or Unraid). I think most users use ESXI and you can find a lot of guides in the forum. I personally use Unraid and any VMs I want to setup I do that on Unraid instead on DSM's VMM...
