Synology DS3612xs - DSM 4.2 build 3202


Recommended Posts

Thank you very much for this awesome build. I have a handful of HP EX495 Media Server devices that I've been running with WHS 2011. They've been great but lacked a few of the packages that Synology has.

 

are you using the DSM system on the virtualbox for windows ?

Hi

 

I had a bit of a disaster and ended up reinstalling DSM on my N40L (wipe and reset factory defaults), long story

 

However the DSM sees the 2 other HDD's but did not remount them and when attempting to create the volumes it wiped the drives (thankfully I have it all backed up).

 

So my question is:

 

In the event of a failure (say primary HDD failure) can you reinstall the OS and remount the volumes you have on the other discs? If so how?

 

If not then how would you get the data from the HDD's to load it back into DSM??

 

I'm hoping that there it was something that I missed.

Hi,

 

I have a N40L, how can I build a DSM 4.2 build 3202.

 

Thanks

 

I know this sounds like a rubbish response but go to the first post and read through all the responses, as you work your way through you will find links to all the files and information on how to complete the tasks and install DSM.

 

In short

 

Flash modded BIOS and configure as guided

Image your USB deviice with img file

Connect to unit using Synology Assistant

Apply modded pat file to install OS

Initially, that's what I did. I installed virtual box on whs 2011, tested the deployment and was a little disappointed with the performance (hdd read and write was around 5-10MBytes/sec). I had a spare ex495 lying around and decided to try it out.

I installed the synoboot image onto a USB thumbdrive, placed the thumb drive in the server, placed 4 new hdd. booted it up, once the synology assistant showed the device on the network, I removed the thumbdrive, installed the modified pat file and about 5 minutes later, once the pat file installed, I placed the thumb drive back into the machine and everything was up and running again.

 

It took about 3 hours for the shr to finish optimizing the datastore but once done, its been flying.

Hi tousmic, if you read topic about compiling kernel, you can found news about it, the simply way is: you have to build zImage kernel with a lot of hardware drivers to cover any piece of your MB, many people in this forum buy a HP N40L microserver that it's , for me, the best way to build home nas, if you need more hdd space you can build your own nas using special rack cabinet with many hot-swap bay , choose rigth mainboard, look for rigth chipse to include in kernel building.

Hi spv4u,

 

Thanks your reply.

Actually I know steps to mod it.

I find there are many IMG and pat file.

Most of success story are installed with PC motherboard. Few are targeted to N40L.

I also find many post say the DSM 4.1 support more hardware.

All of them make me confused.

Sorry for my question.

Thank you for your response. in fact everything goes perfectly with my server pc. I was wondering if I could use the same image synology again to create a second server ...?

Hi, why not? but you have to editing grub.conf in boot-image to change macaddress, if you use the same image used for first one, the second one get the same mac-address of the first one, so, your network doesent work. :grin:

Does anybody have a work setup for this install? I am looking to buy new hardware but I am unsure what motherboard etc to buy (was looking for a 1 with pre installed cpu with low power usage)

 

thanks

I just build a pc with Biostar A68I-350 DELUXE R2.0, on broad AMD E-350 and Radeon HD 6310 Graphics, 3 nos SATA port, install with no pain.

The simple answer is NO, if you have multi NAS, to avoid the MAC address conflict, you need change them except the first one.

I'm following the instructions found in a previous post and using the DS3612xs_32303-Repack.zip, but the zip doesn't have the vdi file. Is there another set of instructions or a different zip I should be downloading?

 

Thank you

This thread is about real install, if you looking in the forum you can found the thread about installing on esx and virtualbox.
