ESXi 5.x - pre-built VMDK for unRAID

Featured Replies

I have been updating my VMDK using winimage as new releases come out. You can just replace the bzimage, bzroot, and the new bzroot-gui files in your VMDK each time there is a new release. I can post mine after each update if there is interest.

 

Edit: Here are my VMDKs for 6.1.9 and 6.2.

unRAIDServer-x86_64_v_6_1_9

unRAIDServer-x86_64_v_6_2

 

Thank you!!!

  • maybe get rid of Riserfs and switch to XFS... 

  • Check filesystem on disk1 https://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Check_Disk_Filesystems

  • There are known problems with reiserfsck 3.6.25, upgrade to unRAID v6.3.3 and run it again, although in this case it may have similar results.

No VMware tools pre installed?

it can't be preinstalled.. every time unRAID boots up, it installs all plugins again from flash.

you can install open vmware tools from here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=38279.0

 

Cant wait to try this out when you have a 6.2.4.

 

USB performance using plop.. well kind of plops.

Any chance for a 6.2.4 vmdk?

 

Thanks

What hardware version are the latest VMDK? Been running on an old unRAID VM forever with the following:

Guest OS: FreeBSD (32-bit)

Compatibility: ESXi 5.1 and later (VM version 9)

 

I just noticed that the guest OS is FreeBSD (32-bit) although I have 6GB RAM set up. Any added benefits to having a higher VM version? Just upgraded to ESXi 6.5a.

 

Update: I just noticed that the attachments are just VMDK to attach to a new VM.

What else could be causing the issue?

I'm going to get another large enough new drive, insert it into unassigned drives, format it with new fs, then Migrate my data over. Finally rebuild array on new fs and Migrate data back. [emoji3]

Not sure if that's what you intend to do but be aware that a disk formatted with the UD plugin can't be used as an array disk after a new config, it will appear as unmountable.

I found my unraid webut and dockers all unresponsive except for ssh this morning again. This happens every couple days. Any ideas?

Hopefully converting all disks to xfs will solve that, seems to be the #1 reason for that issue.

Does someone have a prebuild 6.3.5 vmdk image?

 

Thanks

Thought with the move to UEFI booting in v6.4 it made things a lot easier with regard to esxi?

Worth trying the latest release candidate?

I tried upgrading my stable unraid 6.3.2 ESXi VM by replacing the bzimage, bzroot and bzroot-gui files in the VMDK, but unraid boots up to login, but I'm not able to ping in/out of it. It has a bri and lo adapters. Any tips would be appreciated to get my unraid upgraded.

Have you also updated bzmodules and bzfirmware? Not doing the former will lead to what you are seeing.

Thanks for the response! No I did not replace those additional files. I will reattempt and report back.

Has any successfully upgrdaed their unraid running as a ESXi vm to the latest version? If so, can someone direct me how to upgrade my unraid 6.3.2? I tried the earlier steps in this thread replacing the two files, but no success.

Absolutely, yes. At 6.5.2 now. What is the problem you are seeing?
