I have the very same GNU GRUB version 2.02 beta as in your screen dump. And I agree that the commands should work. But as you can see from my screen dump ... they don't That version of the loader does not have a bug in this regard. Did you modify the grub file in any way or some of the files in the loader?

OldSmurf Posted May 28, 2019 Share #27 Posted May 28, 2019 @Polanskiman I wouldn’t know where to start 🤪 So - the answer is no 😊 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polanskiman Posted May 28, 2019 Share #28 Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) You can download the loader again and try again if you want to figure out the mystery. Let me know if you get the same error. FYI the result of the command you type in the that command line is stored in a file called 'grubenv' which is located at the same level than the grub.cfg file. You can open that file in read only mode with a text editor to see what is in it. Edited May 29, 2019 by Polanskiman added extra info.

OldSmurf Posted May 31, 2019 Share #29 Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) @Polanskiman Thanks for your input. My primary ESXi server is currently crashed so I am running on my (very weak) backup server. New parts will arrive next week so I will continue work on this once everything is up and running. I’ll get back to you at that time [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited May 31, 2019 by OldSmurf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSmurf Posted June 9, 2019 Share #30 Posted June 9, 2019 @Polanskiman I finally managed to get it to work :) I got my new Dell R510 up and running and used this opportunity to upgrade to ESXi 6.7. This enabled me to use this guide: https://advanxer.com/blog/2018/12/install-xpenology-dsm-6-2-1-on-esxi-6-7-ready-made-ova-file/ It worked very nicely and now I am able to edit SN and MAC address. So I made a couple of new Xpenologies and this time they remain on the same SN and MAC after a power cycle. And editing with the "c" during boot works as well. Thanks for your help along and support during these somewhat challenging weeks :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearcat Posted August 9, 2019 Share #35 Posted August 9, 2019 @Vodka2014 : if you are more friend with Windows than Linux (like many of us), you may shut your NAS down, remove your USB stick and edit your grub file on a Windows computer with the help of the trial version of Paragon's nice sotware.

I am a noob in Linux so it took me way too long to figure things out. But when I figured out that the line with the three dots indicated when I should edit the grub.cfg things started to work (mind you - the VIM editor and me are not good friends) So I have now successfully changed the MAC address .. and this time the XPe keeps it after a reboot Thanks again I wanted to thank you for this information. I'm using a Terramaster NAS F5-220 and the boot USB is inside and requires taking the whole thing apart. I had issues editing the grub.cfg file but as it turned out I was overthinking it and I cd/ to the tmp folder when I tried to cd /grub i got a message that the file /folder did not exist. I started over repaeted exactly what you provided then ran nano all worked as expected. Did I mention I use Linux maybe twice a year....:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DasMoritz Posted July 26, 2022 Share #38 Posted July 26, 2022 (edited) Hi, maybe somebody can help me? I'am using XPenology on two Proxmox Hypervisors. I have two Instances of XPenology (one instance per Proxmox Hypervisor), unfortunately both have the same MAC-Adresse because the are based one the same Backup-Image (vma.zst-File). I think the same MAC will cause the error in the Migration-Assistant from Synology, that I can't connect to the Migration-Source in Synology. Is there any way to change the grub.cfg of the virtual machine in Proxmox? EDIT: Okay, I have helped myself 1.) Shutdown one of the both Synology-VM's on the Proxmox Host 2.) Insert a Ubuntu ISO file and boot from this CD as a Ubuntu Live-System 3.) Go to boot-folder one the mapped HDD, than goto folder "grub" 4.) Change the grub.cfg file and edit the MAC. After that, the Migrationassistant works fine! Thank you vermy much, Moritz Edited July 26, 2022 by DasMoritz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
