Tutorial: Install 6.x on Oracle Virtualbox (Jun's loader)

Recommended Posts

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

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

Howdy everyone,

I'm just sharing my experience of how I've managed to get DS918+ DSM 6.2.3 installed on VirtualBox and it differs to what the OP provided.

Software you'll need

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!
