Hi all,
I am currently running ESXI 6.7 from usb drive.
My VM's are stored on a M2-SSD. In addition there is a 3.5 Disk installed.
So far the setup is fine and XPENOLOGY is booting up ok.
Now I would like to pass the 3.5 Hard drive via RDM to the virtual machine.
I do have two datastores atm, VM_Storewhich is the M2 drive and VM_Store_HDD which is the 3.5 hard drive.
I have created the RDM via vmkfstools -z /vmfs/devices/disks/t10.ATA_____ST1000DM0102D2EP102__________________________________W9AFSYJ0 "/vmfs/volumes/VM_Store_HDD/RDM-VM-1TB.vmdk"
Editing the virtual machine and adding the RDM-VM-1TB.vmdk stored in the VM_Store_HDDdatastore, I always get the following error.
"Failed to reconfigure virtual machine XPENOLOGY_VM01. Incompatible device backing specified for device '6'. - dismiss"
The configuration of the VM I have attached as a JPG.
Help would be really appreciated.
Regards.
