Elpee Posted July 29, 2017 Share #1 Posted July 29, 2017 To prevent my AMD Nas keeps running on obsoleted DSM 6.0 forever, I formatted all HDDs, installed Windows 10 and VMWare Workstation 12 Pro on my AMD Nas to install new DSM 6.1. I had downloaded the .ISO format from here (managed by Polanskiman) , but unfortunately it can't boot in new VM. I've done it before when I installed DSM 5.2. All I did in the past was add bios.bootOrder = “cdrom” at the second line of .vmx file. That's it. But this time, it didn't work anymore. Does anyone know how to ,or where can i find the guide for the new loader V1.0.2b on VMWare Workstation? Thank you. I appreciate your prompt replies.

sbv3000 Posted August 1, 2017 Share #2 Posted August 1, 2017 Maybe take a look at the post on deploying on ESXi, I think you can deploy templates on Workstation in a similar way Some things to check though It was my understanding that the cpu of a hosted machine is the same as the hypervisor (unlike the NIC and disk controllers that are software emulated) so if create a virtual machine xpe will still be amd processor based. If you want to boot from cdrom then you may need to edit the iso image to include the vid/pid of the virtual cd rom drive You could try booting with the workstations cdrom (if it has one) connected to the vm as a test - that will also show that the iso image is bootable It may be easier to stick with 6.0.2 until there is a forum/dev bare metal amd solution - it still gets updates from Synology and the features of 6.0 and 6.1 are the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
