Using synology assistant to discover the vmĬonnect and when prompt to install DSM, choose auto install from internet and 6.2 (without update x) will be installedĪfter reboot etc etc, 6.2 update x can be installed. Nic get its mac address from synoboot.img so if you need to change the licence or mac, then editing this img file has to be done Remove the harddisk that get automatically put in by the templateĪdd a harddisk, SATA controller 0 slot 0 using synoboot.vmdk (which points to synoboot.img by reference), either dependent or persisent doesn't seem to make a difference

Upload these 2 files into the datastore in ESXi 6.5 datastore where the new Xpenology vm will be createdĬreate a new vm using OS as Other, FreeBSD 64 Bit (this gives the choice of VMnet3 in nic later) Hopefully this is of some use!Ī slightly different in details but in principle much much the same here.ĭownload ds3615 synoboot.img 1.03b using existing synoboot.vmdk from other posts. Reboot, set a static IP address, update to U2 etc. Boot the machine and scan the network for the allocated IP. You can follow the standard procedure for this. That's it configured, now to install DSM. Edit the VM's BIOS - by hitting escape when starting it - and change the boot order to ensure the SATA drive is first in the boot order. Start the VM and open the BIOS settings - or else you'll find it will try to boot to the network. Ensure that 'BIOS' is the boot method (not UEFI) - see Advanced section on Options tab. You probably won't need a CDRom drive either.

Remove soundcard, USB drives and add serial port. Create 2x SCSI disks (your main Syno disks) of whichever size you need.

Use the VMDK created above as it's source. Add a new SATA hard disk and opt to use an existing virtual disk. Version = Other linux 4.x or later - 64bit. Hardware compatibility ESXi 6.5 (so you can move it around). Create the new VM you want to use for Synology. Move the vmdk file, created earlier, into the new VM's folder. Sorry, didn't do any pictures, but if you know your way around Vmware, it won't be an issue.Ĭonvert the img file to VMDK (vmware disk) using Starwind v2v image converter (free program). Process probably isn't that different from ESXi - and you can always move the box into ESXi if you wanted to. I just spent 20 minutes testing this in VMWare Workstation 14.
