@Olegin Hi. Thanks for replying. I am using the DSM with Unraid KVM. Can you explain me what I need to do? I mean explain me how that works with ESXI and I will check if I can follow a similar approach on Unraid's KVM.

I have an NVME Samsung 970 Evo plus 500GB. Reading the previous post there is no way for the synology DSM to recognize the NVME?

Does it work with VMs? I am using DS3615xs as a VM under Unraid and the CPU is "pc-q35-3.1" with cat /proc/cpuinfo I get model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-9400F CPU @ 2.90GHz

@flyride OK. I read my last post and it can be a bit confusing. As flyride said, I have a Core-5 9400F, Nvidia GT610 and B360M mini ITX that comes with an I219-V NIC that is not compatible with DSM. Olegin also mentioned that is not possible to inject any drivers with DSM 6.2 to support this NIC. Because I have the GT610 on my only available PCI Express I cannot buy another compatible Intel NIC. Since Bare Metal is out of the picture, I tried installing DSM 3616xs with ESXI. ESXI can it be very confusing at some point and it requires 2 cores and 4GB of RAM just to run the software and it does not support any RAID functionalities unless you have a hardware Raid (B360M chicp DOES NOT have). I was able to install DSM just fine (so many videos online how to do that) but when I tried to update the DSM to the latest version it did not work out. I could not see the DSM from the Synology assistant. In the forum I could find any posts/tutorials whether is possible to install DSM as a VM under Unraid. But I went digging into Unraid forums and read posts of users that successfully installed PXEnology as a CentOs VM under Unraid. I use the synoboot.img for 3615xs as my primary disk (USB) and a qcow2/SATA as my secondary disk (Data Disk). Unraid can it be a bit harder than ESXI because you do not have as many GUI options as ESXI. The trick with Unraid is that at the Network Bridge in XML mode (you cannot do it in Form mode) you have to change the type of network card from whatever it is to "e1000e" which is compatible with DSM. That and some modifications with the Sata controller I was able to install the latest DSM under Unraid. You can even install a previous DSM version and then update it to the latest from DSM. It worked for me. I will attach my XML here incase somebody in the future would like to try it. Unraid for me is a better solution because it has Software Raid, cache drives and also you can use docker without installing it in DSM. ds3615xs_unraid.xml

@Olegin Instead of Bare Metal I decided to go with Unraid. I could even update it to the latest update.

@Olegin So adding another .ko wont work for DMS 6.2 can you load the driver in another way? Will IG-88 approach work on DMS3615XS for DSM 6.1?

@jensmander I did. I even tried other loaders and none works. I am wondering... I am looking at a video tutorial how to add .ko drivers on the extra.lmza file. If I get the updated Intel drivers for this NIC will it work? Is the issue with the I219-V because somebody has to compile the driver or something else?

@painkiller895Unfortunately unless I am doing something wrong the 219 Nic does not work therefore Synology Assistant cannot find it. I do not know, I see posts that other people with similar motherboards (AsRock B360) the 219 Nic works fine on the 1.04b Loader. Does not work on mine though. Tried on ESXI and works fine. Tried on an old PC 4thGen Intel 4790K and again I could see the synology but not on this PC with that NIC. Any ideas?

Thank you. I will.

Hi, When searching with the words "9th gen" nothing comes up. I would like to know if XPEnology will work with a 9th gen Intel CPU (Core-i5 9400F). Thanks.
