[KVM - Virtio Network - Driver extension]

Dear Members,

I have been struggling a few months ago to get/brought to life virtio drivers under xpenology 918+ or 3617+ under Proxmox 6.4.

I was a little tired to find my failure, I'm sure I do something wrong.

I tried
a) insert drivers based on this article:
https://xpenology.club/compile-drivers-xpenology-with-windows-10-and-build-in-bash/
In this case I could create extra.lzma file with virtio*.ko files, copied to synoboot.iso with zImage and rd.gz files from appropriate pat (I tried 3 times: DSM_DS3617xs_24922.pat or DSM_DS918+_25426.pat or DSM_DS918+_24922.pat) file.
I added in 'virtio, virtio_ring and virtio_net' in the EXTRA_MODULES section on the rc.modules file, saved and re-compressed.
I created custom iso file to boot.

b) Create custom iso file based on this article:

https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/21663-driver-extension-jun-103b104b-for-dsm622-for-3615xs-3617xs-918/

where I downloaded required files:
https://archive.synology.com/download/DSM/release/6.2.2/24922/DSM_DS3617xs_24922.pat
http://www.filedropper.com/extra3617v05test
and 1.03b_mod loader.

... and created custom iso file to boot.

In neither case I could load virtio network card. I have to use virtio network card for 10G network under Proxmox.

I can use Intel e1000 and vmxnet NIC only with 1Gbit speed.

 

Please could someone help me?

I would be grateful for any help or guideline.

Thank you,

I recently moved from ESX6.7 to Proxmox 6, with loader 1.04b. For Network, I can use E1000 and VMXNet3 from Proxmox, and DSM would recognize the ethernet as 1GB/s.  In ESX, the VMXNet3 was recognize as 10GB connection.    Anyone got VirtIO network to work?  or how to archive 10GB network? 

Dear wenlez,

 

have you found solution for 10Gb connection issue?

 

Thank you,
