environement for trying xpenolgy

[Aigor]

For my other project i have setup a complete boot server, so i decide to try to boot xpenologi via pxe , i dont know if somenone have alredy suggest this, but i think it's to simple use pxe instead of regular img file to try xpenology

Hi Aigor,

 

I just tried successfully:

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt

 

copy by ssh:

zImage

rd.gz

completely boot on local hard drive

 

copy to pxe-server /tftpd/xpenology

zImage

rd.gz

 

insert into pxelinux.cfg/default

LABEL xpenolog

kernel xpenology/zImage root=/dev/md0 ihd_num=0 netif_num=2 syno_hw_version=RS3612xs ac1=0010562E3E36 mac1=0051562E3E37 sn=B5JDN10005

initrd xpenology/rd.gz

it boot in virtualbox

I have installed in virtualbox

but as dhcp, otherwise it did not work (with me)

 

greetings lopo

greetings lopo

which kind of file are you using? where they comes from? zimage and rd.gz is from some repack or it comes from original pat file from synology?

Hi Aigor,

this

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3

 

what is very important:

each client needs its own directory on the server

tftpd/diskstation1

tftpd/diskstation2

etc

the HW MAC networkadapter in the DHCP Server and in the pxelinux.cfg/default match

 

in My DHCP server (http://ipcop.org/) can set:

filename: diskstation1/pxelinux.0

next-server: 192.168.0.1 or other

Thank you lopo, i have already setup my "boot" server, i'm using ipxe installed on my N40L synology so i can create many different setup.

every cliend must have different mac-address that have to match with "real" nic mac-address, for testing purpose should be interesting setup 2 VM with HA for to know howto work.

Thank you for sharing your experience did you know UDA? Ultimate Desktop Appliance?

I'm playng with vmware esxi, xendesktop and others things like that

[lopo]

Hi Aigor,

 

Ultimate Desktop Appliance I do not know.

I have built in recent times rather streamingserver with HTS Tvheadend and OpenELEC.

OpenELEC but also starts not by pxe

 

the start of the DiskStation from pxe I still have a problem.

The SynologyAssistant identified the Hardware PC than RS3411RPxs, install brings error, with DSM_RS3411RPxs_2668.pat (Synology Version) and DSM_RS812RP+_3211.pat.

only the boot with usb stick works with SynoBoot_3612xs_4.1++.img, and identified den Hardware PC than DS3612xs.

until now no solution

I have more the German forum a thread opened.
