I have some DS3617xs VM running with DSM 6.2 build 23739, and I know that it may not be possible to upgrade to DS3617xs as it need to change the disk from SCSI to SATA. It may need to build a new VM and transfer the data and all setting to it.
I found that some people reported that they can successful use DSM 6.2.2 with DS3617xs on ESXi in here (
but I have tested few days, no matter how I build the VM, upgrade from 6.2 or new installation, it cannot be detected after upgrade.
I have followed the instruction here to build the VM.
But it doesn't work for DSM 6.2.2
So far, I can only build the DSM6.2 VM with DS3615xs, a clean installation, with 2 SATA controller, one for the boot image, and one for other disk, and it need to change the NIC to E1000E after installation.
However, it doesn't work for DS3617xs and DS918+ iamges, for DS3617xs, I can install / upgrade the DSM 6.2.2, but it cannot be detected after reboot, no matter which NIC is used, it cannot be detected in the router.
For DS918+, it's even worse, I cannot boot the image, it cannot be detected by find.synology.com, and also not found in the router.
I guess they may still have come setting I have missed, but I cannot found it out yet.
Is there anyone know the VM configuration for running DSM 6.2.2 with DS3617xs or DS918+ image on ESXi?
