Andy928 Posted January 10, 2013 Share #1 Posted January 10, 2013 1) Download archive from: http://yadi.sk/d/BvxkaDfm1SuIO 2) Unpack two files: synoboot.vdi and DSM_DS3612xs_2668.pat 3) Now, start the VirtualBox and check settings for "VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter".

sandule Posted January 18, 2013 Share #2 Posted January 18, 2013 For some reason my XPEnology VM keeps on turning off by itself. It doesn't give the Synology Assistant enough time to find it and install. Does anyone know why this happens? Cheers, Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuart_faust Posted February 14, 2013 Share #7 Posted February 14, 2013 I can connect via its IP but it does not see it via the assistant. its is possible to set the virtual box's network IP statically without having to bridge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmark1 Posted March 11, 2013 Share #13 Posted March 11, 2013 got past that error now , but cant get the synology assistant to find it. How did you solve it? change your VM type to Debian 64bit. The synology software doesnt support 32bit O/S's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aytordj Posted March 18, 2013 Share #20 Posted March 18, 2013 You can upgrade from 4.1 to 4.2 using the same NAS disk created with virtualbox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeekworld Posted March 20, 2013 Share #22 Posted March 20, 2013 I successfully have Synology up and running on my VirtualBox. I've used XPEnology_DS3612xs_2668 for the installation. Now I am trying to upgrade to DS3612xs_3202-Repack and is not happening. How do I supposed to do the upgrade? Currently I have the IDE mounted with synoboot.vdi and a SATA Controller with HDD.vdi. What do I need to change to be able to upgrade to 3202? Any help would be great. Thanks Zeek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPEH Posted March 20, 2013 Share #23 Posted March 20, 2013 You need a new synoboot.vdi (or .vmdk) with current version to boot. It replaces the one that you use now. After you boot your virtual machine with it, you can use assistant and update DSM (pat) that matches your synoboot. Your HDD will be updated to new version of DSM.

zeekworld Posted March 20, 2013 Share #24 Posted March 20, 2013 Well, I've tried the following file DS3612xs_3202-Repack.vdi, I replaced it by removing synoboot.vdi and when I boot I get the following message: GRUB Loading stage1.5. GRUB loading, please wait... Error 22 FYI: I created DS3612xs_3202-Repack.vdi with VirtualBox command line from DS3612xs_3202-Repack.img VboxManage convertfromraw DS3612xs_3202-Repack.img DS3612xs_3202-Repack.vdi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPEH Posted March 20, 2013 Share #25 Posted March 20, 2013 Shutdown virtual machine and copy .vdi (it actualy DS3612xs_3202-Repack.vmdk) file again. It may got overwritten and corrupt by DSM installation. Make sure that file is still attached to IDE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
