[Xpenology VM any one running this ?]

Update:

Was able to install 6.2.2-24922 DSM as a VM.

 

This is what I did:

 

- Used bootloader 1.03b.

- Used DS3615

- Installed DMS version 6.2.2-24922 (also tried DSM 6.2.1-23824 Update 6 and that worked too!)

- Created VM as "CentOS".  Used Seabios and highest version of machine (Q35-3.0)

- After I configured the bootloader, I loaded the img as the first bootable primary vdisk first but set the type to "USB".   (doing it this way, as "usb", DSM won't see the bootloader image file as a hard drive and will show only your other vdisks attached)

- I created a vdisk, and used qcow (other type could be used, but I didn't try).  Must be at least 5gb I found.  (anything less it won't see and/or will fail during setup)

- The main part!!  --  manually go into the XML and change the nic to "e1000e".

 

This worked for me on my Supermicro - X9SRH-7F E5-2690 v2.

YMMV.

  

Good luck.

Awesome!

 

Have you tried these steps but with the ds3617xs image?

Damn, that sucks. I'm guessing since I've added the same lines a bunch of times, it will screw up the VM? 

 

Cause my VM doesn't seem able to start anymore

I tried putting this inside any windows VM, at the 2nd last line or right after <domain>

  <qemu:commandline>
    <qemu:arg value='-global'/>
    <qemu:arg value='pcie-root-port.speed=16'/>
    <qemu:arg value='-global'/>
    <qemu:arg value='pcie-root-port.width=16'/>
  </qemu:commandline>

but everytime after I click save and re-edit the VM, these lines go missing. What am I doing wrong?

    <qemu:arg value='pcie-root-port.speed=8'/>
    <qemu:arg value='-global'/>
    <qemu:arg value='pcie-root-port.width=16'/>
  </qemu:commandline>

  Just trying to understand this, so I suppose logically if you put in two values of the same variable, the one that will be used is perhaps the one that the system loads last right? Like on my Huanan X79-8D dual E5 2650 board I have in order from top to bottom, two PCI-e x1, PCI-e x16, NVME, and PCI-e x16. So in my case I should add it like

  <qemu:commandline>
    <qemu:arg value='-global'/>
    <qemu:arg value='pcie-root-port.speed=16'/>
    <qemu:arg value='-global'/>
    <qemu:arg value='pcie-root-port.width=16'/>
  </qemu:commandline>

 

Right?

Wow. Thank you so much for showing me some possible solutions. 🙏

Definitely will give these recommendations a shot and update this thread accordingly.

These lines work for me, although I don't use Avid (Vegas and AE user here) I reckon it'll work for you as well.

 <features>
    <acpi/>
    <apic/>
    <hyperv>
      <relaxed state='on'/>
      <vapic state='on'/>
      <spinlocks state='on' retries='8191'/>
      <vendor_id state='on' value='C-Fu'/>
    </hyperv>
    <kvm>
      <hidden state='on'/>
    </kvm>
  </features>

[Nested VMS Unraid 6.7.2 VMX Performance]

Just adding +vmx to the cpu features supported worked for me with a nested guest on  a MacOS VM. Like this:

<qemu:commandline>
    <qemu:arg value='-cpu'/>
    <qemu:arg value='Penryn,vendor=GenuineIntel,kvm=on,+invtsc,vmware-cpuid-freq=on,+vmx'/>
</qemu:commandline>

  

in here?

  <cpu mode='host-passthrough' check='none'>
    <topology sockets='1' cores='10' threads='2'/>
  </cpu>

 

My CPU is Sandy Bridge EP though, should it still be Penryn? E5 2650

[XPenology has no internet]

OMG finally!

 

Changed to e1000 and all is well. Which is weird because I edited the XML file to e1000-82545em and it won't boot, but after I changed it back to e1000 it works. I swear I did try e1000 the whole night yesterday ugh

 

Well it's booting now, but it only detects 2 out of 3 qcow2 10GB vDisks. We'll see. 

 

Edit: Oh turns out I extracted the VMDK, converted them to raw and added them into the VM as disks 2 3 4. Disk 4 isn't detected because it is empty or something. And now nothing works lol. Guess I have to start all over
