As mentioned an easy way is to have it redirected to a file and then when you start up it shall write the console output to that file. When you restart the VM it shall ask if you wish to append or overwrite the file which is normal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(no ping, no output on browser, find.synology.com also cannot find new dsm). installation is on VM (vwamre player so card network is E1000). Builder Linux appliance is getting proper ip address an has internet connection without any problem) As mentioned go into the directory where you vm is located and find the file with the .vmx extension and edit the file like below, this worked on vmware workstation 16 for me.

It's all new to me as i'm usually an unraid user till i found this was possible recently. Thought i'd put the screen grabs up to help anyone who has the same.

You must connect VMDK file to sata controller and setup boot disk as sata0:0 , all others disks have to be sata.

Increase memory to 2GB at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killseeker Posted January 13, 2022 Share #214 Posted January 13, 2022 I've built a test system using the instructions and it ended up working great. I've tested my primary apps, Docker, Plex, Sonarr, SABNZB. All working well This is a great little tool @pocopico thank you I can see from the messages above that some look like they are converting production systems. Do we believe this is ready for primary usage? I am eager to finally upgrade my 6.2 system . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g4sho Posted January 14, 2022 Share #217 Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) @pocopico , I am still having trouble getting the mpt3sas. ext to initialize my lsi 9305-16i hba.(bearmetal install) In dmesg, and lsmod it shows the driver is loaded. But from what I can tell the controller is never activating, in turn causing DSM 7.0.1-42218 for 3315xs not to see any drives. This is on an HP-DL380g9 server(processor e5-2640v3x2), which currently runsDSM 6.2.4 for 3617xs with no issues. Using 12 of the 16 ports on this card and booting from usb drive, with loader 1.03b. I tried tiny pill with the 3617xs loader, but it just kept rebooting as soon as it started to load. I compared the dmesg of both 6.2.4 and 7.0.1-42218, and what I see is that the driver is assigning the drives in the former. I am wondering are there some dependencies that your extension(pocopico) is not loading? I used my ilo4 virtual serial port to look at it while it is booting up. The synoboot drive partitons(1,2, and 3) are found, I also checked with fdisk -l to verifiy that partition 1 was set as active(had the asterick by it). When I do fdisk -l | grep sd it shows sda1,2, and 3 which is the usb drive. I pulled a drive out and inserted a sata drive just to see if it made a difference it did not, so I put sas drive back in server. Any help would be appreciate. And by the way great work sir!

Also there are several modules shown that I believe are necessary for your driver to work, I could be wrong, you are certainly the expert pocopico. But what jumps out to me is the module mptbase and one of its dependency mpt3ctl. l Edited January 14, 2022 by g4sho adjust photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keypad74 Posted January 14, 2022 Share #221 Posted January 14, 2022 Hi all, I am thinking of migrating from completely stable 6.2.3 version to 7.0.1 and I wonder if the serial number for qiuck connect works. And what about hardware acceleration in Photos and Videostation? Does it work? Did anybody of us get the full functionality of the 7-th version of DSM?
