    The New Active Backup

    in Synology Packages

    Posted

    On 8/23/2019 at 3:32 AM, rockytoptim said:

    This is stupid question.  I got the Active backup activated.  But I can't get it to connect to my esxi server. I open active backup and go to virtual machine, add,  then enter the following.

     

    server address: 192.168.1.10 This is the address i use to access the gui in chrome.

    web services port:443

    data transferport: 902

    account: admin

    password: password

     

    I get error "Fail to connect to the host {192.168.1.10]. Please check the server address, acountt settings and your network settings.

     

    I disable synology firewall just to make sure synology wasn't blocking something.

    ESXI has firewall rules for  443 & 902.

     

    Any help is appreciated

     

     

     

    You will need to start SSH and ESXi-Shell in the ESXi host (configuration tab), start the deamon and set the option to "start and stop with the host"

    DSM 6.1.2-15132

    in DSM 6.x

    Posted

    I have DSM 6.02 running under ESXi 6.0,never tried to upgrade to 6.1.x, after I saw that it become a brick (I even tried my self, I installed a test 6.0.2 and tried to upgrade).

     

    Now, after 1.0b released, is there a path to upgrade 6.02 to 6.12 on ESXi?

    Jun's Alpha Loader for DSM 6.1

    in DSM 6.x

    Hi there

     

    I also tried to upgrade 6.0.2 to 6.1 on ESXi without sucess.

     

    As far as I know, it is impossible right now.

     

    -brauner

     

    I had installed it with 1.02a2 and DS3617 on ESXi 6.5 and it works fine. It runs longer than 48h without any issue. Right know I switch it of because it was only a test.

    I use the pure syno img without any changes of serial or MAC.

    Hi since you have the same environment setup like me (esxi 6.5) and tried with the latest loader too.

    May I ask you if you are able to migrate from 6.0.2 to 6.1?

    I tried with all 1.02 loaders now and after migration the VM is not visible anymore on the network.

    What I did is the following:

    - Installed xpenology 6.0.2 fresh on test environment, gave it the synoboot.img by adding the vmdk drive (which essentially is a link to the image file) and one additional drive all on scsi

    - edit grub file in image to have the mac1 address correct, nothing else

    Then I shut the vm down. Replaced the vmdk and image file with 6.1 loader 1.02a2. Edited grub file to match same mac1.

    Turned the VM back on. Got to the migration screen.

    Did migrate from ds3615 to ds3617 with keeping the data option.

    All went through without error.

    Then the assistant reboots and no xpenology anymore on the network.

    Synology assistant tool also does not find it anymore.

     

    I wonder if anybody made a successful migration on esxi, yet...

    DSM 6.1.x Loader

    in Loaders

    Posted

    Hello,

     

    I have an existing DSM 5.2-5967 running under ESXi, configured as following:

    CDROM (boot) - XPEnoboot 5.2-5967.1 (ISO) # this is the boot image

    SSD Disk 0 - datastore1 # this is the disk that contain the ESXi datastore

    >>>datastore1 > Virtualdisk (20gb)- DSM 5.2-5967 installation # Synology DSM OS is installed in the ESXi datastore

    SATA Disk 1+2 (RDM) > Volume1 (RAID1) # these 2 physical disks attached as RDM, connected to the Synology DSM, and configured as RAID1 - Volume1

     

    now, I wish to take this configuration and migrate to 6.02 without loosing any data / settings.

     

    any idea?

    Hello

     

    I managed to create a DSM6 under ESXi6 (using the OVF), but I am unable to add a drive for the volume.

     

    I use the free ESXi hypervisor with the free client.

     

    any tips?

    XPEnology - PC to VM (ESXi)

    in Archives

    Posted

    Hello,

     

    Please advice how to migrate from PC based XPEnology to VM based XPEnology under ESXi.

     

    My current setup is:

    Simple PC

    Disk #1 (compact flash disk - IDE adapter) > boot image

    Disk #2+#3 (2 Tera each) > DSM and 1 volume (Synology Hybrid RAID)

     

    The setup I wish to create:

    Simple PC

    >ESXi

    >>VM Guest

    >>> virtual disk #1 - boot image

    >>> disk #2 + #3 - connected to guest as RDM (raw device map)

     

    I will set the ESXi hypervison and guest, and I will create and modify the virtual disk for the image boot.

    The only thing that I need is a best practice, how to take the 2 HD that were connected to the PC-XPEnology and make them work with the VM XPEnology, without loosing data and settings

     

    Thank you

    Thank you

     

    Do you have any instruction how to add the r8169.ko to the modules directory.

     

    I am not god in linux.

     

    My DSM installed on PC (with USB loader)

     

    I manage to copy the file to the usb stick (using the DSM gui), then went to the console and tried to copy from /volumeUSB2/usbshare/ to /lib/modules/, but got permission denied error.

     

    Update:

    managed to copy the .ko file to modules directory (using winscp). whats next?

     

    Update 2:

    OK, got it, install it and its working
