USB HDD -> VMWare -> XPE => internel HDD???

Hi

 

Ich have the following problem:

I am running XPE under vmware on a N40L.

Everything works well except one Problem:

 

Every time I plug a USB HDD into the Server and route it through to the XPE VM it will detect this HDD as internal drive.

Well... When I format it and create a share on it after the next reboot it is consodered as being uninitialized.

 

So... I can neighter set it up as an external drive nor use it as an internal one.

Whats the cause, what can I do?

 

I need to perform Backups ti this drive.

 

I have one sata port free so I could build the HDD into my device but that would require me to be able to use some kind of SCSI (like PVSCSI).

But as soon as I plug my HDDs in a PVSCSI Controller XPE will shutdown immediately after booting...

Could yomeone please try to confirm the USB-Thing?

Probably also with a physical XPE-Installation?

 

And what happens if you connect a USB Disk to a 4.1 running Syno DS? (I know what should happen and what really happens on a 4.0)
