obermotz Posted February 13, 2014 Share #351 Posted February 13, 2014 Hi, I have just installed DSM4.3 on my Microserver N40L running ESXi 5.5 . Everything but raw HDD mapping seems to work fine. I followed this guide: http://forza-it.co.uk/esxi-5-1-using-raw-device-mappings-rdm-on-an-hp-microserver/ . Unfortunately the mapped HDD does not appear in Storage Manager, altough I can see it using fdisk -l as /dev/sdq (it's a 2TB Toshiba drive which has data on it / was used before in another XPEnology install). Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

AiRLAC Posted February 14, 2014 Share #353 Posted February 14, 2014 Visit my blog to get open-vm-tools spk, but DSM 5.x is not supported at the moment. EDIT: gnoboot-openvmtools-v4 available for download. Thanks! Is there any other way to download this package? I'm getting not available error with JDownloader for this package.

Codera Posted March 1, 2014 Share #359 Posted March 1, 2014 I would like to ask for help setting up XPEnology DSM 4.2 build 3211 (repack v1.2) on ESXi 5.1 Cannot get pass the GRUB error 22. I tried DSM 4.2 3202 and got it to work, but wanted to try newer version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldserve Posted March 1, 2014 Share #360 Posted March 1, 2014 I've learned a lot by installing ESXi 5.5 on a HP GEN8 Microserver with gnoboot alpha5 -> alpha 9 and DSM 4.3. Everything seems to be working with RDM. I took one drive from my old DS213 and plugged it in and DSM recognized it. Took me 2 days to put in a second drive for SHR redundancy. Now i'm expanding the volume with a 3rd 3TB drive and it's going to take another 2 days. I have a last 3TB drive I am planning to put in for maximum capacity Question: I can't find download link for gnoboot-openvmtools-v4. What benefits do I get for installing this? Next, I am going to install pFsense and configure some VLAN networking on the ESXi host... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joace Posted March 3, 2014 Share #361 Posted March 3, 2014 Same problem for me with error 22 after installing the pat file. the adapter typ is IDE & the main disk is SCSI Node 0:0. So how do i patch the pat to work? **************************************************************************** I resovled error 22 issue by below steps: 1. Power on VM using a Linux live CD, in the console dd gnoBoot img to your boot disk (assume it's your first disk named boot_disk); 2. Poweroff your VM, then copy boot_disk.vmdk from datastore folder to local for backup purpose; 3. Power on VM to continue with assistant to complete install and configuration; 4. System will be reboot, sure, you will see error 22, don't be panic. Just power off VM, copy back your saved boot_disk.vmdk to overwrite the same one in datastore, then power on, go ahead for a fire.

active.x Posted March 4, 2014 Share #362 Posted March 4, 2014 Hi, Can somebody give me an advice, how to mount the ESXi vmdk boot file under the running xpenology's /mnt to edit the "vender" file?

visuel Posted March 6, 2014 Share #363 Posted March 6, 2014 Visit my blog to get open-vm-tools spk, but DSM 5.x is not supported at the moment. EDIT: gnoboot-openvmtools-v4 available for download. Can gnoboot-openvmtools-v4 be used with DSM 5 4418 update 1? If so, where to download? Running DSM 5 4418 update on ESXI 5.5 on HP40L with gnoboot-alpha5. My XPEnology now writes 2x faster than real QNAP 410p+. No issues Would it make sense to try alpha10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can downgrade VM version to vm-8 in the VMWare workstation, modify .ovf file with text editor, or better yet upgrade you ESXi server to version 5.1 or newer.

John3 Posted March 18, 2014 Share #368 Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) I wonder if someone has gotten the SMART status working in synodisk when you run DSM in ESXi 5.5 with Raw Disk Mapping? Edited March 18, 2014 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My volume is actually volume2 instead of volume1 like most people have by default. If you SSH into the VM and goto /var/packages/open-vm-tools/start-stop-status and edit that file there is a line that says "PROGDIR=/volume1/@appstore/open-vm-tools". change that to "PROGDIR=/volume2/@appstore/open-vm-tools". This fixed mine, hope it works for yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fokia Posted March 21, 2014 Share #373 Posted March 21, 2014 So, performance wise, is there any addenda to the ESXI Idiots guide to get the best out of a N54L? Shouldn't the linux version be 3.4 (as stated in synology's website) instead of 2.6, for instance? thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diverge Posted March 26, 2014 Share #374 Posted March 26, 2014 I have a problem that I'm hoping someone has experience with, and maybe a solution. I have a VM setup with synology DSM. It has VTd, and has a LSI 9211-8i passed through. I have a 5 hard drive bay, and disks 1-4 are part of the DSM array. The 5th drive is configured as esata via the /etc.defaults/synoinfo.conf file. The problem is if the drive is connected when DSM is booting up, it seems to randomly (?) pick the first 4 disks that get initialized for starting the array. The first time I booted up with all 5 disks in, it booted to a degraded array because it used the wrong disk, the one for backups, as an array disk. I powered down, removed the backup drive, powered on, and the array was still marked as degraded... I guess once it gets marked it can't be reversed without repairing it. Anyway, now I make sure to remove the drive before booting up... Anyone have any solutions to my problem? Or another way to make a specific drive seen only as esata by DSM?

DVDBob Posted March 29, 2014 Share #375 Posted March 29, 2014 I'm still running 4.2-3202 on ESXi 5.1U2 and it seems like my Synology VM utilizes all my CPU, even when idle. Has anyone else seen this? I'm using RDM for my drives, and really haven't installed anything else. Is there a way to see what's running currently and what's taking up the CPU? EDIT: Let me clarify - the CPU usage is high in the VMWare Console, but when I log into the Synology itself, CPU is low and it doesn't appear that anything is running. Something has to be, perhaps something that's not tracked by the internal monitors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
