Infamous Seagate Barracuda 3TB hard disk suddenly dead. Due to physical/raw disk mapping, DSM on ESXi cannot do S.M.A.R.T. test and ESXi does not alert as well….
Anyway, this time forget about ESXi, just install DSM 6.1. Planning to use docker for other applications in future.
For information to install, follow 2 links below

Some additional notes:
VID:PID
$ sudo lsusb Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0781:5576 SanDisk Corp. Cruzer Facet
instead of OSFMount(Windows), edit grub.cfg by linux vm.
cd /mnt/hgfs/vmshare sudo fdisk -l synoboot.img ## 512 (secotr size?) * 2048 (start) = 1048576 sudo mount -o rw,loop,offset=1048576 ./synoboot.img /mnt/synoimg vim /mnt/synoimg/grub/grub.cfg umount /mnt/synoimg
HP MicroServer Gen8 has 2 NIC, so put to MAC addresses to grub.cfg as well
After installation completed, go to HP PS1810 switch webpage,
Trunks > Trunk Configuration
select “LCAP Active” and 2 ports for bonding
In DSM, control panel > networking > Network interface >
