    @gadreel if you’ll use esxi+dsm

    @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.

    Can you show me command result “dmidecode -t process”.

     

    I think... may be script running first “dmidecode” after refer “/proc/cpuinfo”.

     

    Here it is:

    root@DS3615xs:~# dmidecode -t processor
    # dmidecode 3.2

    Just for others that search and find this thread.  9th Gen Intel CPU's (and really all Haswell and later Intel CPU's) work fine with XPEnology.

     

    OP's problem is with his particular motherboard NIC being too new for the driver and no effective way to add a driver with the latest DSM versions.

    One solution would have been to add a compatible add-in Intel NIC as many have done.  Virtualization also would solve the NIC compatibility problem.

     

    @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.

  5. @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?

    it should work, try the 1.04b loader first.  Let us know how it goes...

     

    @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?
