I have no idea how it works for me and not you that is why I posted my xml above. I just confirmed I am running DSM 6.2.1-23824 Update 4 and thinking of upgrading to Update 6 but after your problems I am very apprehensive. I will try and do a second install and document it step by step and see if I am doing anything differently. It might take me 3-4 days because of work. All that I can think of is that I have an original MAC and serial combo from another Synology box and started the bootloader as virtual

Can you log into your router and see if it gets an ip address? Because at firs I couldnt find it with find.synology but I could access it directly on the ip

Just boot as VM and vid/pid makes no problems. I did not figure out how to get the vid for the virtual usb. Jf anybody knows please share. And also try 1.0.4. That worked for me

Well when I was setting it up I added the boot img and a storage img that was too small. Then when it worked ( which suprised me ) I had the choice to expand the original disk or add a new one. That is how the 100GB vdisk2 was born. As for the serials, people get inventive . I had an old Synology box and used that serial and mac. But as you will not use the services with the synology account I believe you can use the generators. And my synoboot.img is the original one without any modifications except VID, PID, serial and MAC adress changed.

First of all sorry for the late reply. That was left in my xml from trying to add a share but adding shares directly to Xpenology is not working for me either.

Here is my full xml.

HEY, great news. I got the xpenology to recognize the second vdisk. In the xml just change the sata controller number from 0 to 1 and VOILA. So I got the latest DSM with 916+ loader 1.04b and everything working perfectly. <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/> <source file='/mnt/user/Surveillance/DSMData.img'/> <backingStore/> <target dev='hde' bus='sata'/> <alias name='sata1-0-4'/> <address type='drive' controller='1' bus='0' target='0' unit='4'/> On the last line change controller from 0 to 1 and it should work

Stuck on the same step as Baskedk. Everything else working perfect

Also now I am trying to add a second Vdisk to Xpenology but it doen't see it. Any pointers on this?

I found my mistake. I had chosen linux instead of centOS for my VM. As soon as I changed this set the ethernet card to e1000 and disk to SATA everything works perfectly. And I am running the latest 6.2.1 23824 update 4 with no problems

Hey, first of all HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL I got the VM setup right as the synology boots up and I can see it on the network. But when I try to install the DSM it formats the drive with no problem but it says the file is corrupt Error 13. I tried downloading the DSM manually and the same thing happens. This used to be a problem when you had the wrong PID and VID for the USB drive. I mounted the synoboot.img as a vDisk USB and second manual vDisk for the main drive. But I cannot figure out how to find the PID/VID for the virtual USB I am mounting to UNRAID.
