merve04 Posted September 8, 2019 Share #28 Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) Didn't work for me, import the file, left settings as is, network options is on e1000 and i did try with the mac address stated above, but when i search for dsm i see it flash momentarily in the list with a 169.254.x.x IP. Nevermind, i guess i had to shut down the old 6.0 DSM VMM Edited September 8, 2019 by merve04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merve04 Posted September 22, 2019 Share #29 Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) Never got your 6.2 file working... Get error failed to format partition on initial setup. Thoughts? Ok found the error, some odd reason when the file was being imported.. under storage settings, it was defaulting to IDE for me? Weird..

merve04 Posted November 5, 2019 Share #31 Posted November 5, 2019 So im having a bit of an issue here... ive been using this file for a bit now and worked fine.. im in the process of building a new xpeno box.. i using a asus h310m-c and i5 8400, using loader 1.04 and running latest dsm 6.2.2 u3,, for whatever reason in VMM i import the file, all settings should be good, boot it up but never shows up in assistant. I tried the older one you had made loader 1.01 and it dont work either. Is it maybe a dsm 6.2.2 and or 918+ compatibility issue? i tried installing the synology virtual dsm and it works so i dont think its a cpu/bios virtualization setting.

merve04 Posted November 6, 2019 Share #32 Posted November 6, 2019 I have solved my problem.. looks like there are options in the cpu core settings, i have to use cpu compatibily and disable hyper-v all good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuuuR Posted November 25, 2019 Share #33 Posted November 25, 2019 Thanks for your time and instruction.

After trying the setup on many PCs, one just worked fine. I would say it's a mainboard compatible with VM mount, cause it still works even after replacing ram/hdd/lan from the other PCs and do fresh install though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

le.pipo007 Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share #40 Posted June 1, 2020 Surveillance station in CMS need to have the same version. Verify that. I have this problem when surveillance station is updated.

evolucja Posted June 6, 2020 Share #41 Posted June 6, 2020 Works perfectly on my ESXi. I didn't use however any OVA files but just cloned my DSM machine (with synoboot.img) and then installe DSM from scratch. Also I mounted folder from NAS1 on NAS2 directly in Surveillance Station as Remote. No need to use /etc/fstab What is the minimum hardware for the DSM2 I can set on ESXi? Currently I have 1 CPU and 1 GB RAM and it works fine but wondering if I can lower the ram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarzyn Posted September 14, 2022 Share #43 Posted September 14, 2022 Anyone tried to run `pocopico/tinycore-redpill/issues` in Synology Virtual Machine Manager? I'm pretty sure that the problem is disk configuration but I cannot find proper configuration for virtualbox. @le.pipo007 can you share information about configuration for your image? I've installed it but with newer version of dsm I need newer virtual image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi le.pipo007: Not sure you're going to help since you wrote this like 3 yrs ago but hopefully you're still on this site. I have followed your instructions and have it all up and running. I installed surveillance Station using the Syno Package Center (downloaded from Syno) but I still see just the 2 default licenses available. So all I can do is add 2 cameras. Or was I supposed to download the Surveillance Station package from somewhere else and install it manually? If this is how you get 4 licenses, then how do I get DS Cam to show two cams from my DS920+ nas surveillance station (SS) and the other two cams from the Synology vm's SS? I can't tell DS Cam to access two different SS servers. Same from a pc. I have to connect to SS on my DS920+ and SS on the Synology VM. I think this kind of defeats the whole purpose. Anyway, is that the idea to be able to use 4 cameras? Two from my original DS920+ nas and 2 from this Synology VM running DSM 6.2? I was hoping to be able to install more than 4 cameras though. One issue I kept running into was this: You said in step #7 to add a new sata drive in VM Workstation 15. Then you say to add another 10 GB sata drive in step #8 on the Synology virtual machine. I think that's 3 sata hdd's total (the OS hdd is the first one) and my issue was that 2 of them were always coming up as Uninitialized in Syno Virtual Manager. Somehow I got passed that but that was a few days ago and I'm not sure I can do it again since I don't recall exactly how I got passed it.

yorkman Posted November 17, 2022 Share #45 Posted November 17, 2022 (edited) Ok, I was able to figure out how to download the necessary files. Question now is, I'm supposed to proceed with step #3 here: Tutorial: Install/Migrate to DSM 7.x with TinyCore RedPill (TCRP) Loader - Tutorials and Guides - XPEnology Community It says to start your NAS with the usb flash drive. Is that my real NAS or the virtual VMWare vmdk in my ESXi/vCenter7? If it's the latter, am I supposed to attach the usb to my physical machine which is currently running the ESXi virtual hosts from VMWare Workstation? If so, what do I do for tinycore to see this usb? If I insert it into my physical machine running VMWare Workstation, do I reboot it or just the virtual ESXi/Vcenter hosts?

rojoone2 Posted November 18, 2022 Share #46 Posted November 18, 2022 You are following the tutorial for bare metal installs: You need to follow the tutorial for ESXI: But, if you are looking to get more camera licenses, consider building a DVA1622. You will get 8 licenses with that model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after reading some more elsewhere I found that DS920+ is not supported on ESXi (due to satamap) which is what I was trying to install. I couldn't get DS918+ to work either though so I found another tutorial posted by a portuguese user and I was able to get that to work directly on VMWare Workstation 16 instead thanks to his provided vmdk. After installing & configuring CSM on my physical NAS, adding my 2 other ip cameras in the virtual NAS, all 4 cams show up automatically now. Great tip about DVA1622. Unfortunately I don't know where I'd get the vmdk for this one. And is it still supported on DSM v7.x? According to this chart it's not listed there: https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/61634-dsm-7x-loaders-and-platforms/ Edited November 18, 2022 by yorkman dva1622 compatibility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkman Posted November 18, 2022 Share #48 Posted November 18, 2022 Hmm, it seems that when I made my physical NAS the host all 4 cameras showed up automatically but then recording for the virtual NAS didn't go to the physical NAS which has the most space. Trying to figure out how to fix that but so far no luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PREngineer Posted December 19, 2022 Share #50 Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) On 11/29/2018 at 3:54 AM, le.pipo007 said: Cherry on the cake, on the new suveillance station, i map the same "surveillance" folder share that my old surveillance station. for this, i enable NFS on surveillance share (old server) and on the new DSM (vm) i add entry on /etc/fstab 192.168.x.x:/volumeX/Surveillance /volumeX/surveillance nfs defaults,user,auto,noatime,intr 0 0 now, all my camera are recorder on the same folder. @le.pipo007, This part of your guide should be fixed because the Synology Operating System is configured in a way that /etc/fstab changes get cleared whenever you restart the NAS. Feel free to use my instructions and images or just link to this post in your top post. This way, makes sure that the Virtual NAS can mount your SAMBA (CIFS) share from the Baremetal NAS and use it: Step I > In the Baremetal NAS: 1. Create a Shared folder named Surveillance (or share the surveillance folder created by Surveillance Station using SAMBA) 2. Make sure to allow access to the user that you will use to mount it on the Virtual NAS Step II > In the Virtual NAS: 1. Open File Station and select the shared folder named surveillance that was created by Surveillance Station. Click Create > Create folder (This is not a shared folder. It is inside the originally created shared folder.) Name it Surveillance and create it. It will show up on the right side when you select the surveillance folder on the left. 2. Open Surveillance Station. Open the Recording application. Click on the Storage tab. Click the Add button. Click the Mount Remote Storage option. 3. On the new window, choose Mount remote folder and click Next. 4. On the Select Folder window, find the non-shared folder we created before named Surveillance. Highlight it and click the Select button. 5. On the Mount Remote Storage window, fill up the information accordingly. Then click the Finish button. Note that this is using CIFS (Samba) to mount the share and you can't change it. Local folder should be what we selected on the previous step. For the Remote folder value, you can use the server name or IP address of the Baremetal NAS like so: \\<name>\<share> or \\<ip>\<share> User name should be an account that you authorized in Step I. Password is the password for that account in the Baremetal NAS. Make sure to check the box for Mount automatically upon startup. (This solves the issue that we had with the /etc/fstab mods that kept getting lost upon reboot.) 6. The share is now accessible in our Virtual NAS. If you check in File Station, it will show up as a Remote Folder. We will now proceed to use it for recording. 7. Import or Add your cameras into the IP Camera application. 8. You can see the folders being created in the Baremetal NAS now. (Note: The remaining steps must be done for all the cameras) 9. Select the camera. Click the Edit dropdown and then click the Edit option. 10. On the left side, select the Recording Settings option. On the right side, select Recording and make sure to set the Recording storage location to be our mounted remote folder Surveillance inside the surveillance folder created by Surveillance Station. In the end, it should say that your recordings are located in the /<volume name>/surveillance/Surveillance path. Then, click the Save button. 11. On the right side, select Advanced and make sure that the Disable recording and rotation option is not checked. 12. Enable your camera(s). 13. That's it! Your camera is now recording to the Baremetal NAS share and a reboot will not mess it up.
