[Tutorial: DSM 6.x on Proxmox]

Hi guys

 

Just a note about how getting the serial connector working in Proxmox so you can see what happens.

You will get all the informations on your screen while its booting, and you will get the prompt at the end of the process

First of all you have to connect to Proxmox via SSH

ssh root@proxmox.local

You need to know the id/number of your VM running Xpenology, you see that in proxmox main web interface in my case it was 109
then add a virtual serial port to the VM

qm set 109 -serial0 socket

Now you can connect to the serial port of the VM

qm terminal 109

That's it     (if you don't see anything on screen just press the space bar twice  )

 

To quit the QM-Terminal press :

ctrl+o

If you login to your vm using that serial connector, it will looks pretty ugly, you can't see what you're really typing, so a simple fix, just type in the prompt one of these 2 commands

sh

bash

now  you'll have a clean shell

PS : I did this a while back, i dunno if you need to reboot the VM to get the serial port working
