Tutorial: Install DSM 7.x with TinyCore RedPill (TCRP) Loader on ESXi
hpk replied to flyride's topic in Tutorials and Guides
Thanks for your suggestions. 1) It is starting, however there is not much seen in the console: "Loading Linux - Loading initramfs - Starting kernel with SATA boot" 2) It doesn't get an IP from my router 3) Matching MAC adresses: Is there more to do than "./rploader.sh serialgen DS918+ realmac" ? 4) MAC address changes were already accepted, I didn't neet to modify -
Tutorial: Install DSM 7.x with TinyCore RedPill (TCRP) Loader on ESXi
hpk replied to flyride's topic in Tutorials and Guides
Hi there, I went through the installation instructions and all seemed okay, but when I search with Synology assistant, it can't find the new DS918p ... Actually, I run an ESXI 6.7 on an hp Server. Could this be the cause? In the tutorial and installation guide Ver. 7 of VMware is mentioned. -
Tutorial: Install/DSM 6.2 on ESXi [HP Microserver Gen8] with RDM
hpk replied to jadehawk's topic in Tutorials and Guides
Just a short feedback. After installing loader 1.02b and DSM 6.1.4 as initial installation, all went fine, including updates to 6.1.7 Update 2. Now, the 10GBase-T card is recognised and shown in the virtual DS3615xs. As soon as the second one is up and the network 10G ready, I'm going to do some speed tests from hp Server to hp Server ... -
Tutorial: Install/DSM 6.2 on ESXi [HP Microserver Gen8] with RDM
hpk replied to jadehawk's topic in Tutorials and Guides
I guess, I'd rather go back to 6.1.7 ... the last release supporting higher Network speeds ... But this seems not to be as simple as thought. Lots of trouble so far ... but I keep trying -
Tutorial: Install/DSM 6.2 on ESXi [HP Microserver Gen8] with RDM
hpk replied to jadehawk's topic in Tutorials and Guides
As mentioned on several threads, the use of E1000e Adapter is mandatory to run 6.2 on ESXi 6.7. However, this has limitations on the speed. In my Microserver I have a 10GBase-T card, and with a virtual PC I have a 10GB connection (VMXNET3), with the XPE Synology (E1000e) it stays on 1GB. Is there any hope, that this might get changed sometimes with a new loader? I'd really love to backup from server to server over a 10GB link. -
Outcome of the installation/update: SUCCESSFUL - DSM version prior update: DSM 6.2.1-23824 Update 1 - Loader version and model: JUN'S LOADER v1.03b - DS3615xs - Using custom extra.lzma: NO - Installation type: VM - ESXi 6.7 on hp ProLiant DL360p Gen8 (Dual Intel Xeon CPU E5-2640 @ 2.50GHz) - Additional comments: None

Technically, the Synology NAS and Routers might not be that far apart. Has anyone looked into the possibility, to virtualize a Synology Router, e.g. the MR2200ac, primarily for the router and firewall functions? Or is this absolutely impossible? Thanks for your thoughts ...

I installed it step by step according to this thread on 3 different ESXi servers without any issues. In the first step I chose synoboot.vmdk out of the zip file, linked under step one, the synoboot.img in step two I took out of the synoboot_3615.zip that can be downloaded via the link in step 2. One exception: Instead of the .pat in step 3 I downloaded the newest version directly from the synology server. No issues with 6.2.1 - Update 1. Then, I first installed it with two discs only, Sata 0.0 for the synoboot.vmdk in step one. As second disc I added a new 8GB disc on Sata 1.0. Additional discs I added after the VM is running as Sata 1.1 and Sata 1.2. If you've not followed the instructions correctly and did not remove the CD player, the system might try to boot from CD and you have two options: Remove the CD Player or adjust the boot order in the BIOS. Hope, this helps you troublesooting ...

Did a fresh install on ESXi 6.7 Update 1 with Jun's Loader 1.03b and 3615xs ... Everything worked fine when following this tutorial except the ethernet setting. I changed the default to E1000e. Then I could install the latest DSM 6.2.1 (23824) without any issues and added a RDM mapped harddisk.

Just a short confirmation, that this tutorial works with ESXI 6.5 as well, incl. a RDM mapped harddisk. However, I had to set the bootorder in BIOS manually as described in this thread. Can't upgrade ESXI to 6.7, DL360p Gen8 supports up to ESXI Release 6.5.0 Update 2 ...

yes, works like a charm ...

Don't think, that many people come to such a weird solution. Just try it out and let us know, how this scenario performs - if you get it running properly

This morning I rebooted the vm (by a shutdown and restart on the ESXi GUI) and it did not come up properly. I could not access it in any way, therefore I needed to set it up again ... This time, I first enabled SSH before any other config, and now, I have the access through SSH. Unfortunately, I need the Logitech Media Server users to setup their clients again, as all settings are lost. But then, I should be able to backup the server.prefs file with all the settings ...
-
I thought on that as well, but it isn't a baremetall installation, it's an ESXi virtual machine. Maybe I find a way, to open or mount a .vmdk (VMware Disc File) and change the ssh settings. Need to read a bit. Installed a second vm and retried to reproduce ... but on this machine it works. But the reason for enabling SSH was to to backup the /volume1/@appstore/SqueezeCenter/prefs directory of the Logitech Media Server. There all presets are stored ... I hope, I find a way to read that directory, then I could reinstall everything and restore the settings.

Hi IG-88, no, the network is okay and the DS3617 VM is still running. On the 3617xs I have the Logitech Media Server and the SFTP server running. I can still connect to both ... All Logitech players are still working and I can up- and download from the VM. The connection to the GUI does not work and of course, SSH doesn't work as it was not enabled before the GUI froze.

Hi there, I tried to enable SSH (port 22) on a virtual DS3617. The GUI freezes and SSH is not enabled. The vm is still running, but I can't access the GUI anymore. . Any idea, how to fix it, wihtout reinstalling everything? My installation: Bootimage 1.02b on ESXi 6.5 DS3617xs DSM 6.1.3-15152 Update 1

HP Gen 8 ( Hacked ILO and Optimal Bios Settings)
hpk replied to nemesis122's topic in Software Modding
I don't see a reason for a modified ILO. On my Gen 8 Microserver with Xeon I run version 2.53 with ESXi 6.5. Besides XPEnology I run a Windows 10 VM and my fans run between 12% & 15% and go a bit higher, when there is temporarily heavy load on the processor. But, the fans are there to keep the system in an optimal temperature environment, so, I don't want to mess around with it. And 12% - 15% is quiet ... from my point of view

did not find out, what went wrong ... Installed a new 3617xs instead ...
-
Update from 6.1.2 to 6.1.3 on DS3615xs (ESXi 6.5) did not work, Did a snapshot before the update but cannot go back ... DS3615xs is found with a new IP and the system wants to restore it, but without success ... So be careful ... I dig a bit to find out, what's going wrong.
-
Update 1 working okay on ESXi 6.5 - DS3617xs and DS3615xs Is a minor update, that doesn't even need a reboot.
