fma965 Posted February 20, 2014 Share #1 Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) UPDATE: New guide for DSM 5.0, http://cyanlabs.co.uk/news/install-xpen ... thout-esxi Hey guys i wrote this guide on how to install XPEnology on HP N54L Server - Noob Friendly I am simply gonna post the link here as it's to much effort to convert it from HTML to BB CODE http://cyanlabs.co.uk/tutorials/install ... 54l-server I am also going to install it via ESXi soon but for now this will do (i need more RAM and need to think of reasons to use more than 1 OS before i do that) Edited April 4, 2014 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fma965 Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share #2 Posted March 28, 2014 So i feel this should be bumped/stickied, yes i know its only a link to my site but it is a really detailed guide on how to install XPEnology on the HP N54L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanvi Posted March 28, 2014 Share #3 Posted March 28, 2014 I already bookmarked in my web browser in order to find more easily when I received my N54L... Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack Posted March 28, 2014 Share #4 Posted March 28, 2014 One thing I'd change is a better discussion on the SHR level. You shouldn't let it create one as default as that's only SHR1. Stop it from making a volume, and then do a specific section on which type of RAID/SHR level to choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop it from making a volume, and then do a specific section on which type of RAID/SHR level to choose. +1 I'd recommend not selecting the default creation of one SHR volume from all available disks and add this in as a separate activity post-install. The various options can be discussed then i.e. SHR vs RAID-n etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack Posted March 29, 2014 Share #6 Posted March 29, 2014 One other thing, in the guide I used to install: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1758 There is a section which says "The Assistant should see the device. Right click and choose "Connect" (not Install!)." Your guide says "install". Which one should it be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop it from making a volume, and then do a specific section on which type of RAID/SHR level to choose. Fair enough, i only have 1 HDD currently though so no choice for this. NEW GUIDE COMING SOON, INSTALLING DSM 5.0 GNOBOOT > ESXi > HP N54L should be today/tommorow hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepet Posted April 5, 2014 Share #11 Posted April 5, 2014 Hi, fma965! First of all, thanks for your help! I'm installing Xpenology on an HP N54L, and couldn't be easier! I'm having just a little problem: When I try to upgrade, it must be something wrong in my "copy&paste" way: No matter if I try on a Windows computer, or on my Mac. I can access to my diskstation, but when I paste, logged via Putty or terminal: "sed ‘s/flashupdateDeb/flashupdateDeb1/’ /autoupd@te.info > /autoupd@te.info1 mv /autoupd@te.info1 /autoupd@te.info", I can't install my downloaded upgrade. I'm doing something wrong, for sure, but...what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CtrlAltDel Posted April 5, 2014 Share #13 Posted April 5, 2014 Are you attempting to apply a major or minor update? In order to apply a small update using the DSM update process you need to install the big update first i.e. from 4.3.3810 to 4.3.3827 using Trantors Beta package for example. Once you have done that the small 3827 update 1 should be easy using the DSM updater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
