[Synology RS3413xs+ DSM 4.2-3211 x86]

I would like to have EXT4 support due to current version slowly response.

[[SOLVED] Install on vmware ESXI]

DSM 4.2 build 3211 is not yet running under ESXi.

So you won't be able to export it.

 

At the moment the most recent version for ESXi = build 3202.

 

Tuatara made an Idiot's Guide (for dummies) to install it under ESXi 5.0/5.1

Which can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=558&start=40#p1632

 

I have first installed 3211 in VB, then copy VMware version 3202's "zImage" file to VB. Use VM workstation to run it. Success.

I have question if I can run DSM on VM workstation whether it implies can be run on ESXi?

 

Ummm ... I don't understand the question.

 

This entire thread is about running DSM in ESXi. By re-reading the thread, you'll find all the information you need to run DSM on ESXi. You need a different set of installation files for ESXi than what is needed for VMWare Workstation or VirtualBox or Hyper-V or for a physical machine (HP N40, etc.)

 

For ESXi, read (and follow exactly) the "Idiot's Guide" to install on ESXi.

Idiot's Guide to DSM 4.2 and ESXi 5.1

 

For other VMWare or VirtualBox installations, check other forum threads. The best one would probably be "XPEnology for dummies LINK Update 02/02/2013".

XPEnology for dummies LINK Update 02/02/2013

 

 

It is because I have finished set up DSM 3211 on VM Workstation 8 under Windows 2008 and wanna export this VM to ESXi 5.1. Am I just click to export in VM Workstation or fully install from the beginning under ESXi?

[[SOLVED] HP Proliant N40L MicroServer native support]

Hi, everything fine after updated DSM 4.2 but the SATA port 4 (i.e. not the HD rack mount) can't be recognized. So, I just use 4 Disks only. Thank you!

On my n40l (with patched bios) i have all 5 internal drives.

5'th hdd contains DSM with "trash" partition, other 4 drives contains all usefull files.

 

Thanks for your advice. I have just patched the bios and set it to non-IDE mode. I can see Port 5 and set it as a volume in DSM. Unfortunately, the problem is still happened after reboot. Bios setting be restored to IDE mode automatically. How to prevent it?
