jnus Posted January 11, 2013 #1 Posted January 11, 2013 Hi Just tried out your XPEnology_DS3612xs_2668.7z package on VmWare EXSi 5.0 and have run into some issues when uploading the firmware. After applying network settings, and it starts to flash the firmware, I get the error "Hard drive not detected" This is what I have tried Hardware: HP N40L Software: ESXi 5.0 All available SCSI controllers both with and without ACHI. I''ve the vmdk with the synoboot and attached another virtual drive as storage. Still doesn't work. I have a Qnology edition 1515+ that actually works and I've tried the setup, but no go (see attached screenshots). Has anybody been running this in vmware successfully? Any ideas? Thanks in advance (and so far!) /Jasper
harlam Posted January 15, 2013 #2 Posted January 15, 2013 @Jnus, I've tried to install xpenology in vmware 5.1 on HP N36. Difficult to get de synoboot working. When it boot it stops when grub loader appears. I've converted de synoboot.vdi with winimage to an vmware disk .vmdk. I will try another one (which is known to be good in converting vdi to vmdk). Will try further this week with xpenology in vmware 5.1 Which setting do you use in setting up the vm in 5.X harlam
harlam Posted January 17, 2013 #3 Posted January 17, 2013 OK got synoboot working and it is detected by synoassistent in vmware 5.1. But same problem with detecting the harddisk. What are the possibilities to go further with this problem. repack synoboot with new drivers?
arakis Posted January 17, 2013 #4 Posted January 17, 2013 i have the same problem, the main problem is that vmware can't emulate sata drive. until a new firmware mod with ide or scsi driver for the hdd is out, i dint think we can do much. im currently on esxi 5.1 with a xeon e3-1240 if someone need help to test a beta build.
ZeroQI Posted January 26, 2013 #5 Posted January 26, 2013 http://xpenology.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=41&p=262#p262 Actually with the controller drivers in SynoBoot_3612xs_4.1++ it works, since i did it... I was surprised to say the lease...
Torayld Posted January 27, 2013 #6 Posted January 27, 2013 the new version works. i will post OVF version for virtualbox and vmware : version with 2 disks : -disk 1 200mb for synoboot -disk 2 thin provisioning up to 20Go for system
harlam Posted January 28, 2013 #7 Posted January 28, 2013 Would be cool and looking forward to it. Saves a lot of time
