Ok after contacting the Xpenology forum I decided to go back to DSM 6.1.7 and it works!

 

https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/24168-dsm-621-on-unraid-vm/?tab=comments#comment-129798

 

But any attempt to use any of the loaders used for DSM 6.2.X gives above error?

I have looked through all the XML files and havent found any "Smoking" gun

 

PLEASE: Anyone who has the new 6.2 working under Unraid 6.8.0 could you please share your:

 

loader

XML

and what PAT file you initial installed...

 

Seem to be the key to get this working 🙂

6.8.0 should not make any difference to prior Unraid version (at least untill 6.2.2 24922), kernel version does indeed
VIRTIO will not work unless you have a modified bootloader, e1000e, vmxnet3, e1000 should in any case and play around....

Anyone able to activate their camera license keys? I can't seem to. It says no connection to the internet when trying to activate them.   I've got the network working, able to update apps and shared folders all work.  I'm migrating from my actual Synology DS1010+ to a virtualized setup.  My DS1010+ is getting quite old (10 years old ...) and I can't justify spending that amount of cash on a newer unit.  VM (on EXSI) is working fine.. and also have it on my unraid server.

Don't know how, didn't get this to work the proper way....
Got 8.2.6-6009 with 25 camera's running with the help of someone I've been in contact over the years and is much appreciated

Thanks for the quick response!

 

I think I'm going to wipe my 6.2.x VM and start over with 1.02 and 6.1.7. 

 

Just to clarify, you didn't have to do anything special? Just use 1.02 bootloader, and install 6.1.7 and it works "out of the box" without having to adjust network adapter?  For example, same settings for the VM as your post here (minus the virtio change):

 

Yes you should....
Nope... won't work out of the box
You need the 1.02b bootloader with VIRTIO drivers
Else it won't be any different

This is probably a dumb question, but I'm assuming you're running 6.1.7, because it won't boot with anything higher while using 1.02 bootloader?

 

I'd love to not have to change from e1000e, and fix the weird high network load in DSM, but at the same time, I like being on the more recent versions of DSM. 😕

Not a dumb question... Yes running 6.1.7 as max version on 1.02b
Tried them all. This is definately the most stable
You can get VIRTIO to work with a kernel extract, plenty of guide's around. As long as not above kernel 3.11* (not sure, just google it)
But I did not manage to get it to work.

Are you able to login to Synology and use Quickconnect?

Sorry for the late reply, notifications were turned off

Didn't try but from what I have been reading regarding Quickconnect it only worked for some first DSM 6.x versions.
Also original MAC / SN needed to be emulated and only working till certain DSM version.
Last 2 lines not sure though. This is what I remember to have read a few weeks ago on various other forums!

I use my own domain-name pointed directed to Unraid with reverse proxy to dockers and xpeno VM.
Any specific reason you need the Quickconnect to work?

Now running 1.02 on 6.1.7 VIRTIO in stead of e1000e btw.
Seems the network is more stable and speed of mounted shares to unraid less or close to zero cap...
Fixed there is no more need editing the xml e1000e, sata controller, NFS/CIFS network cap, and unexplained constant high network load in DSM.
Also much faster... guess the only plausible explanation is needs to work less harder on VIRTIO compared to e1000e...

Been playing around for days and got it working on Unraid VM Xpenology.
DSM 6.2.2, 3615xs 24922 (latest), 1.03b Jun's loader

Step-by-step guide working for me:
Create VM use CENTOS
First scroll down make sure it's set to br0
Either copy MAC and edit synoboot.img , or edit MAC / SN after generation use OSFmount
set time-out in synoboot.img to 10 secs
Copy edited synoboot.img to wanted location and set permissions to 7777
Host Passtrough (i'm on i3-6100)
Choose initial memory
Set machine as Q35-3.0
Use SeaBIOS
Primary vDisk Location eg /mnt/cache/xpenology/synoboot.img (use USB, manual)
2nd vDisk location either /dev/sd*** or create Manual eg /mnt/cache/xpenology/vdisk.img (use SATA, enough gb-space, qcow2)

deselect start VM after creation and click apply
edit created VM, right top corner to XML view
change br0 model type from VIRTIO to e1000e
change hdd bus sata controller from 0 to 1
update and back out to main VM page Unraid
start VM, right after start go to VNC remote
Since you changed timeout to 10 you will now be able to select the bottom line of the loader from 1st option Baremetal to 3rd option VMware
I know you can change default option in synoboot to VMware as well but it might occur your's will only work on Baremetal, this way you don't have to re-edit your'e synoboot.img again...
done and good luck , let me know if this worked out for you !
