subwars replied to tr0910's topic in User Customizations

I've just changed my cache drive to an intel 330 ssd, and I have a couple shares setup as cache only. But the shares are now showing as having no space available, even though there is plenty on the cache drive. I can download directly into the cache drive, but not through the share anymore? Any ideas? I've turned cache only off, which then makes the share show as having 1tb available. switch it back to cache only, back to 0 edit: ok, got it..stoped removed the cache, started, stoped, readded cache, started. before i stoped removed old cache, added new cache.. must of upset things.. need to restart with no cache, then readd new.

did you create the datastore in it, or was it already a datastore disc you added?
-
too late yea if it had 1 more pci-e. i'd grab it.. but yea just not going to work.. need 2 sas cards, plus the tuner card sigh.. going to have to start testing the 2nd hand boards coming into work for compatibility
-
still no luck.. just tried 4.1u3 with that custom oem and still erroring when creating datastore. plus it doesn't see any of the drives connected to the ibm, so yea not working it does see the nic's by default without me needing to run vmkload_mod sky2 which i had to with 5 and 5.1.. but oh well

The ASUS site says your board has the ICH10R and SIL5723 SATA controllers, I can almost guarentee the SIL5723 isn't supported and I am finding several posts saying the ICH10R is not supported under ESXi (the non-RAID ICH10 is though). Do you have any options to turn off any RAID features on the ICH10R? How is the SSD set up in the controller? As far as the M1015, does ESXi see the card under "Storage Adapters"? hi, I'll double check when i get home. but i believe the only options regarding raid options. is to select between ide/ahci/raid. I've got ahci selected.. so essentialy the raid is disable. I had a thought today, can the datastore be put onto a usb external drive. I've got a portable 250g drive that i haven't used it ages?

This is your answer, no driver for the controller the SSD is plugged into. Just because ESXi can boot from it does not mean that it has a driver to support it as a datastore. For ages ESX/ESXi has supported only SCSI/SAS controllers for datastores, only recently have they introduced support for some AHCI controllers (eg, SATA) and the supported ones tend to be the ones found on server motherboard chipsets (Intel) If your motherboard allows it try flipping your SATA controllers into AHCI mode. Hi, the board is already in AHCI mode, i tried one of the gigabytes in ide as well.. but not the asus board, only ahci. I did also try pluging the hdd into the m1015 card. Which also wouldn't work, it is flashed to IT mode, if that upsets esxi as well? That would be awesome if you could, it should have the same controllers on it one would image being a p5q as well. ... is it possible to download drivers and add them to esxi so it supports my boards sata ports?

thanks nars for the link.. i did everything getting the 4.2 version of everything but i'm failing on the last command i'm getting edit: nvm, just remembered about your making the custom folder edit2: ok can't get into the webpage thing. goto server:8084, log in with admin/admin and i get. could not connect to host (http://127.0.0.1:18083/) edit3: restarted unraid, redid the 3 commands, loged in and now get Error logging in to vboxwebsrv edit 4: yay .. got it.. did the whole ps -ef thing from above, and it's working now?

Hi, about to try my hand at virtualbox again. Tried ages ago on 4.7 to no success. Have upgraded unraid hardware to a quad core and 8gig. Actually wanted to get esxi running, but can't. Anyway, so thought I'd give this another go. I'm running current rc8a. Will the instructions on the wiki "For unRAID version 5.x, those packages can be found here" work? I'm thinking I might have to get a different kernel then the one listed in the wiki? To match the current build? If someone can give me a few updated tips, I'd really appreciate it.

well, tried 2 gigabyte boards now as well. the one from the htpc, which also wouldn't see the nic. so setup the original board from unraid it would see the nic, but i couldn't access/ping the box. reinstalled original unmoded esxi, onto it, sees the nic. assigned a static ip.. but still can't talk to the box.. maybe i should just try win7 pro with vmware or vmware in unraid again? just want to get the box to do more then host files now. rather then having a few machines on all day doing different things. get this to do it all.
-
i'd already tried with the 2 onboard controlls plus the pci card that was in the old build. just disconected everything leaving the ssd connected to the m1015, and still errors guess all i can do now is try on the gigabyte board.. sigh

asus p5q deluxe mobo, q9550, 8g, an old pci vid, a haupagge tune card, m1015 in IT mode. have a gigabyte p35-ds3p, which was the mobo for unraid upto yesterday, when i started this upgrade. upgraded the p5q/q9550 main rig to an i7 and it has been rolled down to unraid, but wanted it to do more then just unraid now it has a good cpu, hence the esxi project.

Hi, I've spent all day trying to setup esxi and just can't go any further. Wasted a few hours just trying to get it to install because of a no network seen, had to customize the installer with a driver. Anyway since then I've been trying to create a datastore. Tried a couple drives i want it to be an intel 330 ssd though. Tried both 5.0 and 5.1 Taken the drive out and deleted all partition, which didn't help. Installed esxi onto the ssd, which worked, but then couldn't choose it as a datastore, deleted all partitions off it again, even did a disk erase on it to be 100% sure the gpt thing was gone. I'm at a complete loss why in the world it wont let me create a datastore I get the error Call "HostDatastoreSystem.CreateVmfsDatastore" for object "ha-datastoresystem" on ESXi "192.168.1.100" failed. Operation failed, diagnostics report: Unable to create Filesystem, please see VMkernel log for more details: Failed to check for existing file system on device '/vmfs/devices/disks/t10.ATA_____INTEL_SSDSC2CT120A3___________________00_CVMP214001LU120BGN__:1'. If i look in the kernel log it shows 4972: no fs driver claimed device 'mpx.vmhba32:c0t0:l1' : not supported 4972: no fs driver claimed device 't10.ata______intel_ssdxxxxxxxx_________ 4972: no fs driver claimed device ' control' : not supported if anyone can help

hi, seanant, just wanted to confirm if my name is on that list? not being pushy or anything, i saw you said you had alot of pm's and can't reply to all. but dont want to miss out on the next lot is you getting your hands on cards like a regular thing, where you know you will? or is it completely up in the air, you don't know if, or when you could get more? ps. in my original pm a couple weeks back to you, i did ask for 1, but if i could be bumped upto 2, that would be awsome. thanks a heap for helping out the little guy,

just found this looking for cages myself.. looks like could be a good cheap option over the hot swap ones http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/5-in-3-Device-Module-Hard-Disk-Cage-SAS-SATA-Expander-Enclosure-/320947900559?pt=US_Computer_Case_Accessories_Tool_Kits&hash=item4ab9fc508f

no need to run a preclear on the old parity, you can if you want.. but not required.. just add it as a new data drive and format. steps 1-4 are correct
