cool_dude Posted August 1, 2017 Share #1 Posted August 1, 2017 Does anyone have openvm spk for dsm 6.1? Or Have instructions to create spk from openvm tools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yale-xpo Posted September 15, 2017 Share #2 Posted September 15, 2017 I wanted open-vm-tools / vmware tools installed on my xpenology nas running on top of ESXi, mainly so i could press the power button on the host and still have the DSM guest shutdown safely. The thought of compiling and installing a custom spk for open-vm-tools seemed to complicated and risky, so instead I created a Docker image that solves the problem. https://github.com/yale-wp/docker-xpenology-open-vm-tools The only thing required to run this docker container is the Official Synology Docker package and for SSH to be enabled. Once the container is running shutdown/restart from ESXi will work and networking information will be returned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haydibe Posted September 15, 2017 Share #3 Posted September 15, 2017 (edited) https://mega.nz/#!K55GECQb!mgpln1JirxKmicjSugRyPQQb68H0QHZzV7e0qnuaiLI (ds3615) https://mega.nz/#!P1IFVLYR!zIDgtkEuyzEMhFNGC45QGnBRezcxDyk4WbaxTLtRYSU (ds3617) The ds3617 was "patched" is basicly the same as the ds3615 spk, just with changed support for the target environment. The Docker Container solution simply wrappes the shutdown hook from openvmtools and uses ssh to access XPE via shell to trigger the shutdown process there. Clever solution that is. Though, I prefer to use the spk in XPE directly. Edited September 15, 2017 by haydibe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution to the logfile spam problem: 1) cat /proc/version > /etc/arch-release 2) edit /var/packages/open-vm-tools/scripts/start-stop-status, and comment out these lines: # if [ -e ${PIDFILE} ]; then # echo "$(date) vmtoolsd ($(cat ${PIDFILE})) is running..." >> ${LOGFILE} # else # echo "$(date) vmtoolsd is not running..." >> ${LOGFILE} # fi On 9/15/2017 at 7:59 PM, yale-xpo said: I wanted open-vm-tools / vmware tools installed on my xpenology nas running on top of ESXi, mainly so i could press the power button on the host and still have the DSM guest shutdown safely.

Any chance to make the SSH port configurable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
