vrm42 Posted March 10, 2016 #1 Posted March 10, 2016 Hi! I set up ESXi 6 on an HP Microserver Gen8, installed Xpenology latest version, configured Raw Device Mapping for 2 Seagate Archive HDs (contain NTFS) that worked fine in a bare metal J1900 config as e-sata drives. Now both drives appear as DISK 1 and only one of them works, the one got attached first via RDM. When I configure them as internal drives, I got Disk 3 and Disk 4 which seems fine. Controller is configured as SATA AHCI mode, synoinfo.conf internalportcfg=4, esataportcfg=ffa. Tried older Xpenos, no luck. Any idea? Cheers, vrm
sbv3000 Posted March 12, 2016 #2 Posted March 12, 2016 Are you setting up the seagate drives as e-sata on the gen8? I've not used that kit but maybe there is a difference in the esata controller that only passed through 1 drive if you are using a port multiplier type adapter? in the synoinfo look at the usb setting in there in case there is an overlap with the esata and internal hex configuration.
vrm42 Posted March 13, 2016 Author #3 Posted March 13, 2016 No port multiplier at all. Seagate disks are in the internal bays, ESXi on flash drive and a small datastore for VMs is configured on a microSD card. I tried all variations in RBSU: legacy sata, ahci sata, raid (single raid 0 disks). Tried HP version of ESXi 6u1 and original version. Tried different disks from different vendors. I left default USBportcfg intact, no overlap. I ended up using 4 xpenos for 4 disks still looking for a solution, though.
