Hello, welcome to NETVN channel
In this video I will show you how to install Synology NAS on VMWare ESXi hypervisor
First you create a new Linux virtual machine and name it as you like
Next you customize the CPU and RAM for the virtual machine
Here I set up 3GB RAM, 2 CPU
You need to remove some default components of the virtual machine
You remove the SCSI controller, remove the default hard drive, remove the CD DVD Drive
Now you download the necessary files for your NAS virtual machine
You first download the Xpenology loader
You scroll down and download DSM 3615xs 6.0.2 like I'm doing
I will put the link in the description of the video
Currently I tried to install with higher versions but failed
If successful I will post a new video
Next you upload to ESXi two files synoboot.img and file synoboot.vmdk
I will create a folder called Xpenology and store the two files I mentioned to you
We are only interested in the file synoboot.img and file synoboot.vmdk
We will use these two files to load the Synology NAS virtual machine
Now we will add the hard drive to the virtual machine, first the hard drive containing the loader
You find the file named synoboot.vmdk that we just uploaded in the previous step
You choose the SATA 0 controller for the bootable hard drive
Next you add data storage hard drives, in this example I only add a single hard drive with a capacity of 150GB
You add a new SATA controller for the second hard drive
You can have as many hard drives if you want
Next you configure the network adapter for the virtual machine
You configure the adapter type as e1000e
Then assign the mac address as 00:11:32:2C:A7:85
The final customization step for the virtual machine is the boot option
You choose BIOS option
The customizations are done, you save the changes
You start the virtual machine
Because the virtual machine starts up too fast, you need to restart the virtual machine to make the right choice
When restarting the virtual machine, press the down arrow key repeatedly to display a list of options
There are a total of 5 boot options, you choose the last one for the EXSi hypervisor
Now you use the Synology Assistant software to scan and find your NAS device
As you can see, a Synology NAS device has been detected with ip address 10.11.32.137
Next you download the operating system file for Synology NAS
I put the download link of the Synology .pat file in the description of the video
OS DSM 6.0.2 8451
DSM DS3615xs 8451.pat
You then browse to the downloaded file and install the operating system for your virtual Synology NAS
It will take a few minutes for the installation to complete
Please note that you should not update the operating system because it will cause an error and the virtual machine will not be able to boot successfully
That's it, I have finished introducing how to install Synology NAS on ESXi hypervisor
If successful with newer versions of DSM, I'll make a video for you
