I have got another disk added when setting up the VM but is still doesn't work and if i try to change the file its gives an error

 

You have to change the bus from virtio to sata in the gui or it wont work.

 

EDIT: If you cant connect to your server:

 

Step 1. Download the Synology Assistant (https://www.synology.com/en-us/support/download/VirtualDSM)

 

Step 2. Let the Assistant search for your server (if it cant find your server wait a few seconds and try again)

 

If the assistant still cant find your server: Edit the xml file and change the network adapter model to "e1000"

 

If the assistant finds your server but the ip starts with "169.x.x.x" restart the server (i had to do it ~5-10 times until the server got a "real" ip adress)

 

Remember to set a static ip after setting up the server

I can do the "e1000" thats fine but

I dont have the same options in advanced ?

Please see attached jpeg

Just RAW or qcow2 for primary vdisk type

 

Which version of unraid do you have?

6.1.9

Thats probably why you cant change the bus type in the gui (My Version: )

 

Im not 100% sure if this works but try changing the harddrive config to:

 

      <disk type='file' device='disk'>

      <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/>

      <source file='/mnt/user/DSM/DSM/vdisk1.img'/>

      <backingStore/>

      <target dev='hdc' bus='sata'/>

      <boot order='2'/>

      <alias name='sata0-0-2'/>

      <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='2'/>

 

Replace the red text with your settings

Thanks for the reply

 

My text doesn't match yours,Vdisk2 was already "hdc" but bus was "virtio" i have changed to sata but error on start 

Try this config:

 

    <disk type='file' device='cdrom'>

      <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>

      <source file='/mnt/user/isos/XPEnoboot_DS3615xs_5.2-5644.5.iso'/>

      <backingStore/>

      <target dev='hda' bus='sata'/>

      <readonly/>

      <boot order='1'/>

      <alias name='sata0-0-0'/>

      <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>

    </disk>

    <disk type='file' device='disk'>

      <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/>

      <source file='/mnt/user/DSM/DSM/vdisk1.img'/>

      <backingStore/>

      <target dev='hdb' bus='sata'/>

      <boot order='2'/>

      <alias name='sata0-0-2'/>

      <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='2'/>

    <disk type='file' device='disk'>

      <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='writeback'/>

      <source file='/mnt/user/DSM/DSM/vdisk2.img'/>

      <backingStore/>

      <target dev='hdc' bus='sata'/>

      <boot order='3'/>

      <alias name='sata0-0-4'/>

      <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='4'/>

My config file dosen't look exactly the same and when i edit it and change virtio to sata it says unsupported config

 

thanks for everybody who tried to help

 

I'll just have to switch/wait for the 6.2 release 

Yes, looks like the stable version doesent support sata

Yes, looks like the stable version doesent support sata

 

Any idea when stable 6.2 will be resealed?

Currently I am using an hp n54 running xpenology and a g1820 running unraid. I like some of the applications of xpenology, like the nice remote web ui, mobile apps and the lovely Photo station/DSphoto app that I use to share photos with family living abroad. I am thinking of using this setup (xpenology as vm running on unraid) to consolidate both machines into one. What cpu would I need as I almost sure that the g1820 won't be enough. I have an 1150 motherboard and I was thinking about i3 4170. Do you think that would be powerful enought? Also, how much RAM would I need?

 

Thank you for the information.

The i3-4170 is only a little bit faster, and both support virtualization. In my opinion you should try unRAID with the Xpenology VM on your current Server and if it works.

Hello,

 

Id really appreciate a small guide on how to get Xpenology working on the KVM, my reason to use it is for their CCTV system which runs reasonable well for my requirements. I only have 2 cameras at my house, which is free under synology.

 

The only other alternative being an app named BlueIris which runs under windows, however that requires a $50 license fee.

 

I have attempted to get Xpenology to boot using the new DSM6 image created last month, however when it boots its states it cannot find any hard drive in the system.

Xpenology is unsupported and you should always expect an error to corrupt data on the harddrive.

Please use that alternative, you can use it in a virtual machine if you want but please don't use Xpenology for a CCTV system.

 

I have attempted to get Xpenology to boot using the new DSM6 image created last month, however when it boots its states it cannot find any hard drive in the system.

 

I don't know if DSM6 works under unRAID/KVM but you probably have the virtual harddisk set to VirtIO, which doesn't doesn't work in Xpenology. Change the virtual harddisk controller type to SATA and don't forget to set the virtual ethernet adapter to e1000.

 

 

Sorry for posting this again but i added the warning for using Xpenology for a CCTV system.

I just have working DSM 6.0.2 on unraid, check xpenology forum.

Mandatory set eth to e1000 and HDD to sata I pushing this guys to add the virtio drivers

 

work pretty fine, but my first objective to install xpenology was to use the new feature of DSM6 "hyperbackup"

but DSM doesn't like to create backups from  NFS sources(yes i have my unraid shared folders mounted with NFS)

maybe exist a way to cheat the OS to think it's hard drive directory not a  mounted FS.

 

Incremental/deduped + encryption + versioned backups on different cloud providers

the major feature is that you can see a timeline in the file explorer with all the version of a single file/folder. so it's very interesting for me this feature.

 

anyone know an webapp or something to do exactly the same?

Example --> https://global.download.synology.com/download/Package/img/HyperBackup/1.2.1-0235/screenshot_04.png

 

 

I found a DSM logo that looks really good and has the correct resolution for the web interface.

Hey!

How did you do the install of DSM 6.0.2 ? The loader is a *.img file, but Unraid needs *.iso? (Running Unraid 6.3.5)

 

I tried to install DSM 5.2 with an *.iso. It does not boot... --> edit

I set HDD to sata and eth to e1000.

 

 

Edit: DSM 5.2 ISO boots with SeaBIOS. After uploading the pat-file via browser the machine hangs after reboot "booting from hard disk"  (seen in the vnc-monitor)

DSM 5.2 is working. Changing the <boot order='1/> for the bootloader and <boot order='2'/> for the vdisk in the XML did it.

 

 

Anyway, is there a chance to get a *.iso for DSM 6.x ?

 

 

Edit2:

The trick is to use the *.img bootloader as the frist vdisk (picture here): 

Now DSM 6.0.2 works. It displays an alert in the system health "DSM cannot start up normally. ..." But it works.

 

Any Ideas on this?

Edited June 23, 20179 yr by heyper

guys I find out something you will like

 

DSM 6.1.3 + ETH Virtio + Hyperbackup working(yes the data is in the unraid host mounting with glusterFS)

in the Proxmox thread on xpenology forum someone compiled a version of jun loader with virtio driver works perfectly.

And Playing with petaSpace I find out that internally use glusterFS and works also with hyperbackup so I tried to create a glusterFS docker over unraid server and mount it in the xpenology VM and hyperbackup works

 

I thinking to create a docker with the DSM Ready to use image for all of you. I think lot of people could be interested.

Hi guys, I finally create a first version of Xpenology on a Docker

https://github.com/segator/xpenology-docker

 

Check it all, I have DSM & hyperbackup with unraid server working

Thanks, looking forward to trying this but waiting/hoping it'll get added to the Community Applications first to help with the variables etc...

Hi Guys

 This looks really interesting, I would love to run DSM on my unraid Box. has anyone got a guide on how to install this docker ?

im trying to run 5.2 on VM but it gives error when trying to format the virtual disks.

It sees the disk but cant format. 

Hello all,

Is this topic dead or everybody managed to run DSM and it does not need more explanation ?

I would like to get some help with this - does not matter if Docker or VM - need for my environment.

Do we have any recent info regarding this ?

Thank you in Advance.
