Guest Posted November 12, 2016 Share #1 Posted November 12, 2016 Hi, I have XPEnology running as a VM on my ESXi (6u2) host. Works fine. However, last night i rebooted the ESXi host. This made the XPEnology VM shutdown hard. When i opened the DSM GUI, i got a warning that my RAID1-array was degraded It took 5 hours to rebuild (2x 2TB in RAID1) and is now all OK again. To prevent this in the future, i would like to have open-vm-tools package installed, so ESXi can shutdown XPEnology cleanly. Which version can i use with DSM 6.0.2-8451 Update 3 ? I found some open-vm-tools bromolow, but these seem quite old (March 2015). Is it safe to use these, or does anyone have a newer version that is recommended for DSM6? Edit: I have installed 'open-vm-tools_bromolow-5.1_9.10.0-2476743-1.spk' which seems to work OK. But i am still interested if a newer version is available.

Schnapps Posted May 25, 2017 Share #4 Posted May 25, 2017 Just upgraded my ESXi6.5-based XPEnology to 6.1 and I'm looking for the Open-VM Tools for Broadwell arch as the Bromollow one is not compatible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lunzet Posted June 28, 2017 Share #6 Posted June 28, 2017 I guess rather than the poweroff package openvmtools would also cover for better performance right? Would anyone have a link to the latest version of either poweroff package and the latest open vm tools? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
