    Virtual Machine Manager

    in Synology Packages

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    I have XPENOlogy running on VMWare workstation 6 (XPE 6.0.1), the vm has 1 GB of ram  (which is minimum) and 1 cpu but does not want to boot.

    VMWare workstation has 6GB of ram and plenty of cpus.
    Message:

    1.select other host

    2.decrease memory

    3.lower number of virtual machines running

     

    Any idea here?

    Quickconnect, version XPE and supervisor?

    in Synology Packages

    Posted

    Thanks! I do know ddns and have it configured already. However, I now have to open a firewall for every port and tell users to connect on that specific port, f.e. myddns.com:5000 for synology main access etc?
    Plus a main concern is that direct access is pretty risky whereas quickconnect goes via servers of Synology, right?

    DSM 6.1 on VMWare Workstation 6.1: status repairable

    in DSM 6.x

    Hi,

     

    Tried to install XPenology 6.1 on VMWare Workstation and it drives me nuts. Tried all kinds of guides which all tell different things: use ovf, use zip, use iso ....
    Now tried to stick to 1 guide: https://xpenology.club/setup-xpenology-vmware-workstation-12/ which brought me to status where I can install XPENology, but after reboot it says status: repairable. When I try to repair and reboot, just the same issue :-( ...

    Thanks for any input!

    How does this all work, iow what files do I need to be able to boot? The iso installs to the vmdk then it is not needed anymore? What is each file meant for in working of XPEnology?

     

    Note: this info is also there:

    It says: welcome back! We detected that you moved the hard discs to a new DS3615xs.
    Click to repair if you want to repair your data and settings.

    Quickconnect, version XPE and supervisor?

    in Synology Packages

    Posted · Edited by JanHoedt

    Hi,

     

    I  love Synology, got an DS414, but might go to ds918+ (for vmm) or run xpe on a HP Microserver gen 8 or 10 (virtual, on esxi or hyper v to easen the updates). So first I m about to test XPE on a spare hp 8550 laptop via hyper v.

     

    There is only one XPE version, right? 

    What held me from running XPE is quickconnect. What is the status there?  Got an ds210 on which I don't use quickconnect, can I use that Mac to configure on XPENology? 

     

    Then I d like to create my XPE bootdisk from .pat myself, can I do that? 

     

    Thanks for your input, love your project!

    From gnoboot to nanoboot?

    in DSM 5.2 and earlier (Legacy)

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    I have this gnoboot esxi dsm 5.0 which I fail to upgrade. I ve read nanoboot is the successor to gnoboot and I found a procedure to upgrade nano versions.

    If I switch to nano can I always upgrade (manual, via procedure?).

    Then how I convert my current gno to nano? I need to reinstall or how to keep my data/settings?

     

    Pls advise.

    Update?

    in Archives

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    I found a procedure to update Synology 5.x: download a new pat-file from Synology, manual selection of the file in update, run a script via ssh then update.

    Is that a general procedure that can be used for any new update?

    Cannot enable firewall!!!!

    in Archives

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    I 'm using XPenology for a while now and like it. Thanks.

    However, when I try to enable the firewall, I get "the administrators pc has been blocked so firewall settings have been reset", whereas my subnet 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0 is set correct. This setting also works on another Synology so it is correct!

    I have serious doubts no that under the hood connections are set to specific ip!

    Please correct otherwise I'd have to scratch my XPEnology.

    DSM 5.0 howto update serial

    in Archives

    Posted

    Thanks, when I edit it, could I use an existing serial for use with quick connect (I know somebody who doesn t use quick connect). Or are Mac addresses used for veryfying connections on quick connect?

    I d really love to make it work and NOT use ddns (though it already works for me, ddns).

    Help!

    Hi,

     

    I added a dual nic to my HP NL40, it worked fine but after reboot everything is gone.

    I fully configured the system with DSM 5.0 beta. All data is on it. The console session just gives a blinking cursor.

    I previously installed on HP NL 40 with network card inserted and that worked, adding it causes issues apparently.

     

    Please advise. Should I make a new usb stick and boot it from there? Can I then recover my data?
