Install DSM7 on virtual kvm (Proxmox) with TCRP

[h0va4]

Hi, after many tears I finally have installed dsm7, I am a newb, but wanted to share what i know for virtual machine users particularly proxmox. This will be a quick guide that references other guides I used. Thank you @Peter Suh for notifying me of your TCRP 0.9.3.0-1.

 

The  general process:

1. Download and extract onto your desktop TCRP 0.9.3.0-1 here; proxmox users grab the one ending in .img.gz.
2. Setup virtual machine and proxmox and boot TCRP
   1. See my notes below and follow this guide up to step 17 and start the virtual machine once completed. You will come back to this guide after building the DSM in TCRP
      1. Note1: I think you need to create the VM with at least 4gb ram MINIMUM
      2. Note2: in order for step 12 to work you need to add "disk image" to content of the local storage or else you will get an error in the shell. For proxmox users, go to Datacenter > Storage > select the storage and double click the content cell, then click to activate "Disk Image". OR you can perform step 12 to the local-lvm storage, but I just did local.
      3. Note3: for step 12, replace "redpill.v0.8.0.0.img" with tinycore "redpill.v0.9.3.0-1.m-shell.img" to run the qm disk command
3. Build the DSM by following @Peter Suh guide here starting at Step 3 but DO NOT REBOOT at end, you need to SHUTDOWN/STOP.
4. Continue this guide at step 23
5. Optional: once everything is setup you might want to consider setting up static IPs for your NAS and Proxmox. I am sure there are better ways but I did.
6. Enjoy!!

 

Thanks again to everyone involved. I just wanted to put what I learned in one area. I haven't had to do any updating or migrating so this only covers new installation. Good luck!
