    Helo !

    I have 2 DSM running on MotherBoards MiniITX Asus P8H77-I and-Asrock FM2A85X-ITX with 2G memory and the cheapest CPU.

    DS3612xs - 4.2b3202 Repack run very very well...

    MsX

    How do you make it work for "Asus P8H77-I", I have this error:

     

    I saw a similar error when I accidentally mixed the boot image with a different release pat file.

    During reading this thread, I have noticed that the Realtek 8111E NIC (which seems to be an "old" controller) always works.

    Concerning the Realtek 8111F NIC, it seems working fine with Z77 chipset but not with the H77 chipset (many owners of Asus P8H77-I have network issues with that mainboard).

     

    So, I guess there should be no problem with the 8111F NIC if it is associated with Z77 chipset.

     

    Is the H77N-wifi a 8111E or a 8111F NIC?

    I easily push the bandwidth limits of a 1GB connection with my H77 setup.

    help for installation on libvirt

    in Archives

    I think Thomas referring to installing DSM as a guest on virtual environment. My understanding that libvirt is just a managing shell, but you still need installation of underlining VM which can be most of virtual technologies available.

     

    Ah, good point. Sometimes I get tunnel vision.

    Hello all,

     

    can somebody help me on a installation on a libvirt vm server?

     

    Cheers Thomas

     

    You are getting ahead of yourself. Libvert works with "the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux" (http://libvirt.org/) ...however no virtualization capabilities have been compiled into the synology kernel. Getting KVM running is the most hopeful as you can include it on a custom build of the kernel.

    low power

    thank you for all the replies here is what I'm looking for.

     

    1- very low power at idle

    2- at least 4 Sata ports

    3- at least 8 GB of ram

    4- very small form factor

    5- Hardware that works out of the box with synology

     

     

    You pretty much should get what I did, my criteria was almost identical.

    Few Atom motherboards take 8G RAM, have 4 SATA ports, and a 1Gbps NIC - couldn't find a single one at Newegg that had them all.

    The i3-3220T is about as low power as they get. Some laptop chips might use less power but there are very few motherboards for them and good luck finding one already tested to run xpenology.

    I'm looking to build a low power system can anyone suggest a motherboard that is very low power to use for this

     

    ...what fonix232 said.

     

    I just built a system. Gigabyte GA-H77N-WIFI mini-ITX, 8GB RAM, i3-3220T, three drives active and it measures 40W at idle from the plug.

     

    40W is still quite high in idle, there was a guy who made it down to around 6W with an i5 3rd gen.

     

    Unlikely that measurement was complete, from the wall, or with three drives attached - which use that much power alone. You could save a bit of power with SSDs - but you would lose storage. An atom-based motherboard would save a chunk of power at the cost of CPU strength - which little is needed for a pure storage medium.

    Virtualization on XPEnology ?

    KVM is not compiled in by default. I cannot get VirtualBox to run. I had to add the Synology source headers and includes to get it to install but still run into this:

     

    Building the VirtualBox kernel modules

    Failed to load the kernel module.

     

    VirtualBox has been installed successfully, but the kernel module could not

    be built. When you have fixed the problems preventing this, execute

    /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

    as administrator to build it.

    Billchan, thanks for your feedback on the Gigabyte GA-H77N-WIFI. What processor did you put on it?

    I am thinking of combining (dual boot) a XPEnology and a hackintosh.

    read this : http://www.tonymacx86.com/344-building-customac-buyer-s-guide-april-2013.html#mini

     

    So you are saying EVERTHING works with the Gigabyte GA-H77N-WIFI on XPenology?

     

    Thanks for your feedback!

     

    I can confirm everything works on that board - except bluetooth and wireless. I used a i3 3220T @ 35W in a Fractal Designs Mini case modded to hold 11 hot swap drives.

    I am currently typing this on a Hackentosh sporting a Gigabyte GA-Z77N-WIFI board (as opposed to the H77N in the xpenology) with a i7-3770 everything works except Wifi.

     

    I have yet to strain the 3220T at all. Plex and Mindcraft do not saturate it. I am trying to get Virtualbox deployed so I can _host_ a VM from Synology.

     

    Thanks to all who contributed.
