HowTo: Install VBox Synology DSM 4.2.3202 onto x86 ReadyNAS
XPENOLOGY DSM 4.2.3202 -------------------- OS: SYNOLOGY, DSM 4.2.3202 VIRTUAL MODEL: DS3612xs Are you worried that the new ReadyNAS 100,300, and 500 series means EOL for you current x86 ReadyNA...
I don't have this currently running, but if memory serves me correctly:
1. Make sure the interested ReadyNAS directory can be seen and reached from any PC on your network. I'm using Windows 8 Pro, so typing \\IP_of_ReadyNas\Interested_directory into Internet Explorer should open a window to access its contents.
2. Make sure you can add/delete files and directories from IE.
3. DiskStation's Web File Manager uses java. Make sure your PC has Java installed and your browser supports it.
4. Access the DiskStation web interface file manager and create a remote link/map to your ReadyNAS directory. You should give it full access permissions. Also, make sure you set it to automatically remap at boot. I gave my DiskStation's link a different name so that I would remember whether I was assessing the ReadyNAS share directly or the DiskStation remote map. ie ReadyNAS = "backup" while the remote directory using DiskStation = "Network_backup".
\\IP_of_DiskStation_VM\remote_directory = \\IP_of_ReadyNas\local_directory
If everything works, you should be able to store files directly into the ReadyNAS Shares from your DiskStation VM. So you could, for example, run SABnzbd in the VM, but store all files on the ReadyNAS. NOTE: I've found that the python usenet apps do require lots of VM RAM and work best with multiple dedicated cpu cores if you want them to work well. If you are running VBox on a stock ReadyNAS with original CPU and memory, you will likely have problems running complex apps inside of a VM.
