aalexson Posted November 12, 2015 #1 Posted November 12, 2015 Hi, I finally figured out how to get Sinology running on PC hardware. After initializing the system, all seems fine until you look for a data volume. Unfortunately my drives were unmounted. I attempt to create a volume but end up getting the error, "Connection failed. Please check your network settings". Any help in better understanding sold be greatly appreciated. Ghank you.
koroziv Posted November 12, 2015 #2 Posted November 12, 2015 That is the error with dsm 6 beta, did you installed that one ? because is not supported by xpenology yet. You should give more details, hardware and software versions used (xpenoboot and dsm)
Ringo Posted November 12, 2015 #3 Posted November 12, 2015 use DSM 5.2-5592 to init the system first, and create the volume, then upgrade to DSM 5.2.5644
aalexson Posted November 13, 2015 Author #4 Posted November 13, 2015 Sorry, Gigabite motherboard, core 2 duo CPU, 4GB RAM, 3 2TB SATA drives and a 32GB Kingston USB jump drive. I was trying with 5.2.5592. I used the IMG file, used the DD command on my Mac to apply the image to the Kingston drive. When prompted to book or install, I tried both and always ended up at the same spot. DSM boots, but unmounted drives and unable to create volumes.
aalexson Posted November 14, 2015 Author #5 Posted November 14, 2015 The problem was a user error. To install, after burning the image to the USB drive, I was not aware that you need to go through the install process with a .pat file. Once I did this, the box configured and seems to be working great.
