    - Outcome of the update: SUCCESSFUL 

    - DSM version prior update: 6.1.7 Update 2 with Jun's loader v1.02b

    - Loader version and model: Jun's Loader v1.03b - DS3617

    - Using custom extra.lzma: NO

    - Installation type: VM Proxmox 5.2.6 - Xeon D-1537 (need to pass kvm64 cpu type), passthrough LSI SAS2116 with 5 x WD RED 3TB Raid5, 2 x WD RED 4TB Raid1 & 2 x Intel DC S3700 200GB Raid1

    - Additional comments : SeaBIOS, loader on sata and ESXi boot line. Update to U2 ok. Had to replace/delete remnant files from older loaders in /etc/rc.*, /.xpenoboot (see last paragraph below).

     

    Using the usb method, I got a "mount failed" as others on Proxmox, but it was successful when using a sata image disk:

    • rename the loader with a .raw instead of .img and place it in the VM images folder /var/lib/vz/images/100/ (Proxmox parser does not understand .img)
    • add a sata0 disk in the vm .conf (/etc/pve/qemu-server/100.conf)  :  
    
sata0: local:100/synoboot_ds3617_v1.03b.raw,size=52429K
    •  choose sata0 in Option/Boot Order in the GUI
    • at start in the GUI console, choose the ESXi boot line

      

    My vm ID is 100, replace it with yours.

    I also had to choose the kvm64 cpu type.

     

      Bonus: easy way to edit grub.cfg (Hide contents)

    It easy to change the loader grub.cfg by mounting the loader image: 

    

cd /var/lib/vz/images/100/
mkdir synoboot_mount
mount -o loop,rw,offset=$((2048*512)) synoboot_ds3617_v1.03b.raw synoboot_mount
vi synoboot_mount/grub/grub.cfg
# unmount it after editing
umount /var/lib/vz/images/100/synoboot_mount

     

     

    A serial port is also a good thing to have for debug. You can access the serial console with the following line (type Ctrl-O to exit):  

    
socat UNIX-CONNECT:/var/run/qemu-server/100.serial0 STDIO,raw,echo=0,escape=0x0f

     

    The serial port was very needed in my case.

    After I first updated from 6.1 to 6.2, the VM was starting well (docker and ssh were Ok)  but I was not able to logging into DSM, and after ~5 mins from boot, everything was shutting down and I was losing network (as @JBark). I thought it had completely shutdown. But using the serial port, I saw that it just killed everything Synology related even the network config.

    With a fresh VM, it was working well, so tried to find differences between the DSM filesystems.

    I found that a lot of /etc/rc.* files where referencing old binaries that do not exist anymore so I replaced all the /etc/rc.* files by the ones from the fresh installation. When rebooting, it was still closing down after 5 mins, but I think it was needed in combination with the following removals.

    I also saw several /etc/*.sh scripts, and a /.xpenology folder, that were not there in the fresh installation.

    After deleting them, and cleaning a little the /etc/synoinfo.conf file (removed support_syno_hybrid_raid option, and some other options, not sure if it had an effect), everything was working great again!

     

    @jun Thanks for the loader!

     

     

     

    Oh yes!

     

    thank a lot work great with the 1.03b jun loader on proxmox !!

     

    Please note I had to use the "baremetal" choose in the grub loader to be able to see the SATA disk on my side (vmware/esxi was unable to find the sata harddrive)

    update2 successfull too

    Fresh install, no update on my side!

     

    thank to all

      Press enter to boot the selected OS, `e' to edit the commands
