    Failed to update the file. The file is probably corrupt.

     

    - Outcome of the update: Failed

    - DSM version prior update: (DSM 6.2.2-24922

    - Loader version and model 1.03b - 3615xs

    - Using custom extra.lzma: No

    - Installation type: VM - VMware EXSI 6.7 update 2

    - Additional comments:  Won't update - tied the update multiple times, always fails, either via update in control panel or manual update

     

    Need help, didn't get a reply in the Update reporting thread, hence posting here hoping for a reply.

    Thank you for any help you can give me.

    Will the turbo of the CPU work, from 1.5GHz to 2.5GHz?

    Is one 8GB memory stick good enough or is 2x4GB better?

     

    Thinking to use this small case.

    What PSU is recommended?

    Chieftec Compact Series IX-01B Mini-ITX

     

    Thanks again

     

    I don't see why Turbo wouldn't work.

     

    2x4gb is technically better as it'll be dual channel rather than single channel mode

    That board is having problems with 6.2.2 and we haven't figured out why yet.  It works with 6.2.1 okay.

    You da real MVP :)

    That motherboard and CPU will work fine. - It should work with Jun's modloader 1.04b which emulates a DS918 - so Hardware encoding for the CPU will work great. 

    Technically any ram should work, looks like the motherboard uses SO-DIMM (laptop) RAM. 

     

    You can just boot the loader off a USB and have the SATA ports (there are 4 of them) for the HDD's

    Why does Jun's Modloader need Haswell, software limitation?

    You are ignoring the fact that Synology compiles DSM for each piece of hardware.  We have support for the DS918 build via 1.04b and DS3615 via 1.03b.

     

    The only requirement for Haswell is the DS918 DSM image as it is compiled with FMA3 instructions.

     

    As long as you stay on loader 1.03b and DS3615 DSM you should be able to run 6.2.1 fine.  However, on this loader and 6.2.1, very few network drivers are able to boot - e1000e is the one most are successful with. I think you have a 82576 NIC (you said 82676) which is supported by the igb driver.  You can try it but if the network won't come up, you may need to disable in BIOS and add a e1000e NIC such as an 82571, 82574 or 82579 and it should work.

     

    My apologies for the typo in the network adapter name. I didn't realise 1.03b (currently on this) actually supported it. I guess I'll have to buy an add-in card as the network doesn't come up when I try to boot the 6.2.1 image.

     

    I guess I'll try again. Thanks

    Adding information

    Basically, the title. I am just curious as to why my Westmere based box (2x X5670, 96GB Ram) can't run 6.2.1, but will run 6.2 happily? It just seems to make no sense, is this a Synology limitation?

     

    My NIC is a Intel 82676 Dual port adapter - built on to the motherboard. 

     

    Officially it seems it can run on pretty old hardware:

     

    For the following models, DSM 6.2 will be the last upgradable version. DSM 6.2 will continue to receive critical and security updates for a minimum of 2 years after the official release.

    XS Series : RS3412xs, RS3412RPxs, RS3411xs, RS3411RPxs, DS3612xs, DS3611xs

    Plus Series : RS2212+, RS2212RP+, RS2211+, RS2211RP+, RS812+, RS812RP+,　DS2411+, DS1812+, DS1512+, DS1511+, DS712+, DS412+, DS411+II, DS411+, DS213+, DS212+, DS211+, DS112+

    Value Series : RS812, RS212, DS413, DS411, DS213, DS212, DS211, DS112, DS111

    I'm trying out the v1.04b loader and in my virtual enviroment it isn't pulling an IP address? VMWare Workstation Pro 14

     

    I forgot my password for the VM running v1.03b and tried the 'reinstall' option on bootup and it just takes me to the login page :(

    check out this video. at 4.20min you will find the vmdk explanation.

    I followed this tutorial initially, but I didn't think to try fudge in the new Synoboot.img file.

     

    Worked wonderfully as soon as I did.

     

    Thank you

    Did you define the vmdk's as sata disks?

     

    What VMDK? it didn't come with one? all I got was a synoboot.img file and it doesn't get to a bootloader at all! I must've gotten the baremetal install one, I guess? is there a specific version for VMWare? Looks like i'm doing something seriously wrong here

     

    Downloaded the Synoboot_3615. zip file from:

    I can't get this new loader to actually work under VMWare Workstation Pro 12.

     

    It just boots to the network, if I go to the boot menu and select the CD/DVD ROM drive nothing happens?

     

    And I doing anything wrong? Happily running XPEnoboot for DSM 5.2 

    Changing Hardware number?

    Hi.

     

    I currently have Juns loader 1.02a running DSM 6.1 update 2 flawlessly.

     

    However since the bootloader emulates a DS3617xs there is no SHR support as the real DS3617xs isn't supposed to have it.

     

    Is it possible to change that number to another 12 bay unit that does support SHR? and install the appropriate DSM software?

     

    Reason this is such a big thing for me is mismatched disks.

     

    I read in a previous post that editing the synoinfo.cfg file in /etc.defaults/ 'works' but no one can confirm that and I can't get it to save the file anyway, Logged in as the default admin or root, I get 'Permission denied' same with uploading an edited one.
