I'm running esxi 5.1. I added a new SCSI disk along with a VMware Paravirtual SCSI controller in my VM. After booting up it gets to a certain point and then begins shutting itself back down. Removing the SCSI drive and controller fixes this. Are you sure PVSCSI is working correctly in this ++ build? Can anyone else test to confirm the same issue?

 

I can also confirm the same issue. After adding the PVSCSI to the kernel, recompiling and installing, the boot process will display:

 

want_idx 1 index 3
want_idx 1 index 3. delay and reget

 

many times, after that

 

want_idx 1 index 4
want_idx 1 index 4. delay and reget

 

again many times. Then the boot process resumes and after a while:

 

BUG: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000068

 

That happens in syno_libata_index_get_by_map+0x2c/0xb0

 

And even more after that:

 

scemd[3738]: segfault at 8 ip ......... sp .............. error 4 in scemd

 

And the system shutdowns after that. I guess there is some kind of watchdog that checks that the scemd is alive.

 

My hypothesis is that there is some kind of enumeration of ata disks in drivers/scsi/sd.c that prints out the want_idx errors. I guess the index starts at 3 if because I have 2 ide devices and 3 pvscsi devices and the ide devices get the first slots? When initializing the pvscsi devices it expects them to start at index 1?

I managed to add a 200GB harddisk, but when i try to use packages i get this:

Syn.png

 

I have connectivity to internet when i ping to eg http://www.synology.com

PING wrpx.service.mirror-image.net (81.22.37.106): 56 data bytes

64 bytes from 81.22.37.106: icmp_seq=0 ttl=246 time=19.803 ms

Or is it not possible to use packages with XPEnology?

 

 

EDIT:

When i use the ovf file in ESXi5.1 it does not work..., when i use the virtualbox howto http://xpenology.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3 i works...

Did you use the the above mentioned howto on ESXI, or did you just use virtualbox instead ?

Yes i did. i´m now trying to increase disk capacity from workstation and then upload again to ESXi.

Everything ran ok.

 

Ok, thank you !

 

Did you just import it in VMw WS9, and then did an export (to again OVF ?) and imported that in VSphere ? Or did you do something special ?

In workstation 9 (i dont remeber in other versions) you have the option to upload to vmware servers any virtual machine you have in your workstation. It´s as simple as right button --> upload. You import OVF to Workstation (doble click) and then upload to ESXi.

(worked on my esxi 5.1)

Make RDM link:

# ls -l /dev/disks

# cd /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/

for pRDM (Physical RDM):

# vmkfstools -z /vmfs/devices/disks/ rdm_anydisk.vmdk

for vRDM (Virtual RDM):

# vmkfstools -r /vmfs/devices/disks/ rdm_anydisk.vmdk

Add one more IDE disk

Edit .vmdk of new IDE disk:

# Disk DescriptorFile

version=1

encoding="UTF-8"

CID=907f50af

parentCID=ffffffff

isNativeSnapshot="no"

createType="vmfsRawDeviceMap"

 

# Extent description

RW 976773168 VMFSRDM "rdm_anydisk.vmdk"

 

# The Disk Data Base

#DDB

 

ddb.adapterType = "ide"

ddb.geometry.sectors = "63" - your HDD value

ddb.geometry.heads = "255" - your HDD value

ddb.geometry.cylinders = "60801" - your HDD value

ddb.uuid = "60 00 C2 9b 97 a8 bd d9-93 09 9e 49 05 59 4a be"

ddb.longContentID = "ed52f62d56900538fd0971af907f50af"

ddb.virtualHWVersion = "9"

now your RDM attached as IDE to XPEnology

 

 

i've tried without success to map a SATA WD160Gb Drive using RDM.

 

i follow instructions and when i start the virtual machine, i have Specified file is not a virtual disk.

Could someone help me on this issue ?

 

Thanks for your help.
