faintuser Posted January 6, 2014 #76 Posted January 6, 2014 Great info here. Thanks everyone. I have a N54L running trantor's 4.3 now. Just wanted to edit the vender file with the real MAC address but got stuck. Went through previous posts but didn't get the answer. Maybe it's just too trivial and people didn't even think it was an issue. Anyways, how did you guys find out the physical MAC address? Do I need a monitor attached to the N54L and get into the BIOS? Any info is welcome!
stanza Posted January 7, 2014 #77 Posted January 7, 2014 mac address is listed in in the dmesg output type dmesg | grep "eth" and you will find it like so SC933> dmesg | grep "eth" [ 38.971878] jme: JMicron JMC2XX ethernet driver version 1.0.8 [ 40.538825] eth%d: 0xffffc9000007a000, 00:24:1d:d6:77:28, IRQ 46 [ 71.291808] usbcore: registered new interface driver ethub [ 72.009685] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready [ 77.013767] r8168: eth0: link up [ 77.015628] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready .
faintuser Posted January 7, 2014 #78 Posted January 7, 2014 It worked great! Thanks a lot of the info. Probably OP can consider adding this to the guide as well. mac address is listed in in the dmesg output type dmesg | grep "eth" and you will find it like so SC933> dmesg | grep "eth" [ 38.971878] jme: JMicron JMC2XX ethernet driver version 1.0.8 [ 40.538825] eth%d: 0xffffc9000007a000, 00:24:1d:d6:77:28, IRQ 46 [ 71.291808] usbcore: registered new interface driver ethub [ 72.009685] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready [ 77.013767] r8168: eth0: link up [ 77.015628] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready .
stanza Posted January 7, 2014 #79 Posted January 7, 2014 Hello It is the same problem in Proxmox. I think with all Virtual platform the problem is here. Proxmox should be easy to change the MAC's Something similar to ============== Shutdown the virtual Open ssh terminal to proxmox eg ssh root@123.456.789.123 mount the usb image to a loopback device mount -o rw,loop,offset=32256 /var/lib/vz/image/100/synoboot-blahblah.img /mnt/loop use nano to edit the grub.conf file within the synoboot-blahblah.img file nano /mnt/loop/boot/grub/grub.conf change the file from eg =================== #serial --unit=0 --speed=115200 #terminal serial default 0 timeout 3 fallback 0 title DSM 4.3-3810 - v1.0 root (hd0,0) # vender /vender show # hw_model kernel /zImage root=/dev/md0 ihd_num=22 netif_num=2 syno_hw_version=DS3612xs mac1=00241DD67728 mac2=XXXXXXXX sn=B3J4N00355 initrd /rd.gz to =================== #serial --unit=0 --speed=115200 #terminal serial default 0 timeout 3 fallback 0 title DSM 4.3-3810 - v1.0 root (hd0,0) # vender /vender show # hw_model kernel /zImage root=/dev/md0 ihd_num=0 netif_num=2 syno_hw_version=DS3612xs mac1=00241DD67728 mac2=XXXXXXXX sn=B3J4N00355 initrd /rd.gz save the file and quit nano unmount the loopback device unmount /mnt/loop copy (overwrite your proxmox's boot hdd with this file) cp /var/lib/vz/image/100/synoboot-blahblah.img /var/lib/vz/image/100/vm-100-blahblah.raw restart up the vm
JoeBob256 Posted January 10, 2014 #80 Posted January 10, 2014 I am trying to Edit my Serial Number and MAC address. I've installed Xpenology under Windows 7 64-bit and using Oracle VM Virtualbox. When I try to use WINSCP the vendor file isn't available. I've tried using IMDisk and when I mount the .vmdk I get an error saying the drive needs to be formatted (volume doesn't contain a recognized file system). I even downloaded a trial version of VMWare Workstation and tried to "Map Virtual Disk" and get the same error message as IMDisk.
z-vap Posted January 11, 2014 #81 Posted January 11, 2014 @JoeBob256 if you grab the Ext2Fsb and reboot, then you can mount the Synoboot .IMG file with ImDisk. From there you can copy the vender file and edit the MAC's Since I don't own any MSOffice products I am grateful to Markus Konig for his patcher. My Question: I take it the serial numbers are not directly tied to the values of the MAC addresses? And they're only necessary if I am running multiple DSMs
JoeBob256 Posted January 11, 2014 #82 Posted January 11, 2014 Thanks z-vap. I'm not sure what I missed. Maybe I didn't reboot after loading Ext2Fsb. I thought I had but that's the only thing that makes sense. I don't really know if the serial number are tied to the MAC addresses but I wouldn't think they would be. I think running multiple DSMs would require changing the MAC address and serial number, but also if you want to make the DSM available on the internet.
NetSpider Posted January 19, 2014 #83 Posted January 19, 2014 2 MicroServers I have ESXI 5.5 installed on a 16GB MicroSD in an HP GEN8 Microserver, my VMs ( Xpenology ) reside on a standalone hard drive and data is in a separate volume also. now trying to figure out how to change the MAC Address and Serial number in the 2 Xpenology boxes I have built so they don't conflict on my network. 1. /volumeUSB1 is empty 2. No vendor file 3. cant find grub.conf ( trying to mount vdmk to see if in can get to it. not shur what to do though ) ----------------------------------------- Equipment HP MicroServer GEN 8 RAM____________ HP 16GB CPU____________ Intel G1610T MicroSD ________ Sandisk 16GB________ESXi 5.5 OS Controller_______SATA __B120i__ACHI Mode Disk-0 HDD___________WD RE4 2TB__Independent Data Disk-1 HDD___________WD RE4 2TB__Independent Data Disk-2 HDD___________WD RE4 2TB__Independent Data Disk-3 HDD___________WD RE4 2TB__Independent Data Disk-4 HDD___________Seagate 500GB______50GB VM-Datastore Any help you be greatly appreciated.
stanza Posted January 19, 2014 #84 Posted January 19, 2014 Did you do a search for grub.conf? Eg find /* | grep "grub.conf" .

azn-tuan Posted January 21, 2014 #86 Posted January 21, 2014 I have another issue but with DSM 4.3. Everything works fine but I can't change the Mac adress. I succeded to download and modify the vendor file via winscp but I'm unable to replace the original file (the SD card is not protected), I have a denied permission to modify this file. Do you have an idea?

guldhammer Posted January 22, 2014 #88 Posted January 22, 2014 But i have a question, what to do with Mac2, Mac3 and Mac4 when i only have 1 network card???
stanza Posted January 22, 2014 #89 Posted January 22, 2014 But i have a question,what to do with Mac2, Mac3 and Mac4 when i only have 1 network card??? Change netif_num=X to whatever number of network interfaces you have .
XPEH Posted January 22, 2014 #90 Posted January 22, 2014 Or just ignore them. They will not be active unless you have those NICs.

guldhammer Posted January 23, 2014 #93 Posted January 23, 2014 My mac adress says 1F2 in hex, but i can only write 2 letters in the vendor file?? My max adress -->> 00 15 17 31 A3 F2 What to do??
nickjones Posted January 23, 2014 #94 Posted January 23, 2014 take a look at this post viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1353&start=60#p8660 , a kind member "iceget" has posted a small program making it simple to manipulate the vendor file. many thanks to him! and the great minds that contribute to this forum.
stanza Posted January 28, 2014 #96 Posted January 28, 2014 How do I find my real MAC Address? http://xpenology.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1353&start=70#p10009
Mitt27 Posted January 28, 2014 #97 Posted January 28, 2014 that just gives me the stock mac address that my synology was setup with.
Turbine-7 Posted January 29, 2014 #98 Posted January 29, 2014 Look in the BIOS on whatever hardware you're using - it shows the real MAC address in the HP Bios, just press F12 or F10 when it boots up (I forget which key).

alvinmonster Posted February 11, 2014 #100 Posted February 11, 2014 Sorry I am a newbie to Xpenology.... I tried to search for the vendor file in the boot usb, but windows cannot read from the usb drive (require to format it first)... Also I tried WinSCP to log into my system as root, but it keep on fail to start the session....(I can log into the Diskstation through admin account...) Appreciate if there are any method for me to obtain the vendor file and modify it....many thanks!
