Hello everybody,
I made a OVF version for VMware Workstation 9 based on the XPEnology DS3612xs DSM 4.2 build 3211++ (repack v1.2)
This is a complete clean setup. In the tutorial below I will describe the step by step procedure to get this
working:
- Download the OVF file for VMware Workstation (http://dfiles.eu/files/hsmv15o3m)
- In VMware Workstation go to the home tab
- Choose Open a Virtual Machine and select the OVF file
- Name your virtual machine name and import
- DO NOT POWER ON
- After the import select the VM and choose Edit virtual machine settings
- Select Hard Disk 2 (IDE) and on the right side go to Utilities and select Expand
- Change the disk size to the size you want and select Expand (you can’t change it anymore so choose
wisely).
- Change the memory/cpu if you want
- Power on the virtual machine
- Find the machine with Synology Assistant
(http://global.download.synology. ... tSetup-4.3-4206.exe)
- Right click on the discovered machine and say connect
- Login with admin and leave the password blank
- Go to Storage Manager
- The Volume Creation Wizard will pop up
- Choose the option Quick and then next
- !!!!Uncheck the 199MB disk!!!! and select next
- Click OK so the disk can be formatted and wait until it is finished
