arejaytee Posted June 8, 2021 Share #51 Posted June 8, 2021 Has anyone got a known working set of ds918 (or 3615/3617) files for Virtualbox without any drives? For the life of me I cannot get it to show up on the network. Couple of years ago it worked perfectly, but not I cant get any of the versions to load in Virtualbox. Have changed mac address correctly, have even tried converting the img straight to vmdk but nothing VBoxManage convertfromraw 3617-6.2.img 3617-6.2.vmdk --format VMDK 0011322CA603 VBoxManage convertfromraw 3615-6.2.img 3615-6.2.vmdk --format VMDK 0011322CA785 VBoxManage convertfromraw ds918-6.2.img ds918-6.2.vmdk --format VMDK 001132123456 VIrtualbox version 6.1.22 r144080 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG-88 Posted March 6, 2022 Share #52 Posted March 6, 2022 as there is no tutorial about repill loader and 7.0.1 these are settings that work for me cpu can be 2 and 4GB ram should work too, beside this the only difference to my 6.2.3 vm is the chipset, i changed from PIIX3 to ICH9 serial port can be used like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Software you'll need VirtualBox A zip extraction tool (Windows has one built-in) Or use 7-zip Jun's 1.04b DSM loader for the DS918+ (Mega link in case the post changes) The synoboot.vmdk file attached to this post 6.2.3-25426 version of DSM for DS918+ Steps Extract the synoboot-ds918.zip Load up VirtualBox and create a new virtual machine with the following details: Name: Whatever you like Machine Folder: Where you'd like the machine files to live (I leave mine as default) Type: Linux Version: Other Linux (64-bit) Memory: 4096 MB (you can set whatever you like, just needs to be higher than 512 MB) Hard Disk: Do not add a virtual hard disk Once the virtual machine is created, move the synoboot.img file from the synoboot-ds918.zip extraction and the synoboot.vmdk file into the Machine Folder You'll need to edit some more settings of the virtual machine with the following details: System > Processor: Change to as many CPU cores as you want, I've set mine at 4 Storage: Remove the IDE controller and add the AHCI (SATA) controller Add hard disk and locate the synoboot.vmdk file moved the Machine Folder and add it to the list Now create and add as many virtual hard disks you want (I created two dynamic volumes at 250GB each for testing and two dynamic volumes at 25GB each for SSD cache. Make sure to tick the virtual SSD drives as solid-state drives) Network > Adapter 1: Change "Attached to" to Bridged Adapter Under Advanced, make sure Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop is the adapter type and change the MAC address to the following: 001132123456 USB: Change the USB controller to USB 3.0 Start the virtual machine and let it boot for a few minutes Proceed to find.synology.com and your Xpenology will show up. You can then connect, agree to the terms and set-up the NAS For installing the DSM, this is where you'll need the DSM .pat file you should of downloaded earlier Let the DSM file install and the Virtual machine will restart after After the restart, that's it. Use find.synology.com again just in case the IP address may of changed after the restart Go through the rest of the set-up process and enjoy your virtual Xpenology NAS! synoboot.vmdk 432 B · 125 downloads i do exact this steps but, cant found anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
