After that, we will see the following output in the VM screen, and after 2-5 minutes the Web UI should be accessible (if you use the NAT, it should be available at )įirst, in Web UI we need to install DSM.
Now we can start the VM, in the Grub menu I have success with bare metal and VMware option, too. In storage, add SCSI controller (otherwise this bootloader may not start properly) and create new Hard Disk (for my testing purposes I choose only 8GB, after successful setup the volume with this HDD has about 3.3 GB) Because I would like to test the Synology Package Center or access the Internet from this virtual NAS, I chose NAT with following port forwarding: 127.0.0.1:5000 -> :5000 //Web UI I usually prefer virtualbox-host-only adapter (VM doesn’t have access to the Internet, but VM is accessible from the Host), or NAT (VM has access to the Internet, can be accessed from Host using port forwarding). We can choose various network adapters, most simple is bridged, but it exposes all the VM to your local network. Don’t forget to change the MAC address to 0011322CA785, otherwise the Web UI will not be accessible. Now we can proceed with the creating the Virtual Machine in the VirtualBox like in this Xpenology tutorial. vmdk, with following command: VBoxManage convertfromraw "DS3615xs 6.1 Jun's Mod V1.02b.img" synoboot.vmdk -format VMDK img, I need to convert it to format supported by VirtualBox, like. This tutorial will be similar, but with few adjustments.įirst of all, we need the bootloader, but which one? There are () of them, but I have no luck with the newer ones (v1.03 and v1.04), the latest which works for me in VirtualBox Setup was v1.02b for DSM 6.1, with filename DS3615xs 6.1 Jun’s Mod V1.02b.img. There are several tutorials how to install it in VirtualBox. First searches on Internet bring us to Xpenology bootloader compiled from the source codes provided by Synology under GNU license, and its variants (mods) used with VirtualBox or VMware. Synology can run on variety of platforms and CPU architectures, like x86-64, AArch64 (64-bit execution state of ARM),… We need the bootloader and the operating system itself. Some howtos and instructions are available on the Internet, but some tinkering or adjustments are needed, so I summarize my approach in this blog post.
Preferably as guest in Virtual Box, or VMware or QEMU. Because I do not have any real HW Synology NAS, I decided to try it as a Virtual Machine. I had to try it myself, but as a 1st step I needed a running instance of Synology DSM (DiskStation Manager, the web-based OS running on Synology NAS). I wondered about forensic analysis of Synology NAS, especially how to create a memory dump, but unfortunately, I was not able to find any useful howtos.
