Running 6.2.3 on ESXi? Synoboot is BROKEN, fix available


flyride

Recommended Posts

But my mainboard is special,so the 2nd and 3rd SATA controller has only 4ports and 3ports(the 4th was bad) to DSM DISK 1-7.And the loader SSD is the minisata on mainboard at (0:1).

I have 8 disks NAS,so I have to use the (0:0) SATA port to DSM DISK 8.

 

I have did this:

 

Keep my loader disk to position 0:1(it's the miniSATA port on my mainboard,so I can't move it.)

SataPortMap=243

DiskIdxMap=070003(I'm using DS3617xs)

now,the script is useful.and the loader is on DISK 9.

 

In this situation,can I suppress the loader SSD?

Or I have to use U-disk to make a loader?

If you insist on the boot disk being #2 port on a controller with other drives, I do not see a solution to the problem.  Best practice dictates that the boot loader has its own dedicated controller (which is what all the tutorials indicate), and is why you have your issue.

 

I'm still not clear on exactly why you are using the boot configuration that you are.

 

Are you running virtualized?  If so, just add a virtual SATA controller and shift the other three controllers over one slot.

If you are running baremetal, what is stopping you from just using a USB flash drive as recommended?  That would solve your problem.

$ ls /dev/synoboot*

$ cat /usr/local/etc/rc.d/FixSynoboot.sh

Thanks for your reply Flyride. 

ls shows there are no folders and the cat shows the file just fine.

(Just in case, yes I rebooted (within the DSM and but doing a shutdown and hitting play in the esxi itself).

Since your disks do not start with sda, and you have no isolated disk device, I believe you have modified DiskIdxMap and inadvertently made the loader device inaccessible to DSM, so therefore it cannot remap/create synoboot.  Post the relevant lines from grub.cfg for more advice.

Here is your issue.  You have your boot loader set to slot 2 when the tutorials indicate that it must be SATA (0:0).  Because your SataPortMap=1 that means the first controller (SATA 0) is only mapped for one drive, so this device is not assigned a /dev/sd slot.  Therefore, the loader and script cannot find the device to remap for the synoboot devices.  Change this to SATA (0:0) and you should find your upgrade works properly.

Worked like a charm. Thanks for your patience and kindness mate.

I was a dummy and managed to kill my XPE install on ESXi with 6.2.3 Update 3.  Could anyone educate me how to roll it back or update bootloader image to bring the machine back? Serial log below:

I am running 6.7.0 Update 3 (Build 15820472)

 

I have downloaded this version: https://mega.nz/file/adVDmaLS#2SN_FA-kkOb_yP0lfQJ84DFywMBW15I3Wk3i3ZTfEew  

 

and I still can't get it to show up in http://find.synology.com/#

I even changed the MAC ID:

1. turn off the vm from the web based Esxi interface. 
2.  Edit the settings of the vm and go to network adapters. 
3. Change the adapter type to E1000e, and set the mac address to manual, and change it to 00:11:32:2C:A7:85
4. Boot up the Vm guest and go to find.synology.com

 

What am I doing wrong?
