JFrost Posted February 22, 2015 Share #1 Posted February 22, 2015 Hello all, Been using Synologys for a while so fairly familiar with DSM but very very new to xpenology project so be gentle please Tried setting this up on a hyper-v vm (2012, not R2), and it *seems* to go well. I've had to fiddle around a bit to get a "successful" install and I'll detail my settings at the end. My main problem is that after installing the .pat file Syno assistant says install ok, but when I try access DSM I get promted to install DSM again. Refreshing Syno Assistant says 'configuration lost' and I can go round this loop endlessly. Any ideas what is going on? Thanks. Details - Host server is Win 2k12 Standard on DL360 G5 hardware - 16GB RAM, 2x Xeon 5460 Hyper-v Guest has:2048 RAM 1x virtual proc IDE controller 1:0 - DVD drive (default drive) with XPEnoboot_DS3615_5.1-5022.0.iso IDE 0:0 - 1 GB .vhdx (for Syno system/boot vol) SCSI 1 - 10GB .vhdx (Syno data) My first run through, on boot, I choose the 3rd option (install/upgrade). When it gets to the "Diskstation Login" prompt I go to Syno Assistant (on another machine), upload the .pat file, select password, name and network (seems to work better w/ static IP assigned) and go. After that completes, try to access the DSM page (no reboot other than the one Syno Assistant install does) and I get the reinstall dsm web page. Thanks for any help.

JFrost Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share #2 Posted February 23, 2015 I've semi-solved this. While twiddling, installed nanoboot 5.0.something, which worked out well. Then I tried upgrading to XPEnoboot for 5.1 and that worked too! So.. Now have xpe running on hyper-v. Maybe that helps someone. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TestCase Posted February 27, 2015 Share #3 Posted February 27, 2015 Hi JFrost, Did you manage to install update 2 on top of 5.1?? I'm able to upgrade to 5.1 but update 2 fails. The difference I see between your and my setup is that you boot from IDE while I boot from SCSI. Thanks and regards, Kees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
