N54l Best Os For Mac

• N54l Best Os For Machine Learning

The reality is, it’s hard to name the best Mac OS X browsers without these big names, but since they all have their merits and demerits, we will discuss them all one by one. This one would hardly come as a surprise, but beyond doubt, the native Safari is the overall best browser for OS X.

Im debating changing os's for my N54L which I want as a server/nas for home. Got 3x2tb drives in it and the 250gb for os.

I quite like the XPenology for it instead of Ubuntu ( Im a little out of my depth with the server install. Plus I aint got much time now with being a college 4 days a week! ) Been through Ubuntu twice, open media vault, freenas and nothing seems to fit right - bad interface, lack of features, slow transfers etc. How stable is it as a reliable home server os?

Seems to have everything I need really. File server - mac & win7, BT downloads, web test server plus being able to install a few CMS systems to get to grips with - Magento, wordpress, joomla, prestashop atm, plex media server and maybe itunes. Remote access would be nice for college files especially & work stuff. Want something which isnt going to be killed everytime an update happens or the power goes out.

Cheers for opinions! See my posts here. I have it in another system in esxi server also run iscsi and nfs off it. Apart from windows 2008 this is the best OS for Microserver I have found. Although I prefer Esxi route and install as VM more functionality. I hard shut down the VM every night. Hasn't been a problem.

If it is, just simply restore the VM back. The data files are safe on the hard drive still in either RDM (remote Disk Mapped) or Data store. As long as you don't delete the RDM file or the data store when you recreate the vm. Just attach the data store or RDM file and good to go again.

Once set up you can make a backup off the system VM which is only 153MB. Just remember to detach the RDM drive before otherwise you will backing up over 4GB. The OS is therefore safe and quick to restore. Another reason i prefer the Esxi route over bare metal install.

The one major advantage though is sleep mode of drives which you will not get in Esxi as they are always spinning as its a server environment. If you later want to upgrade if available. You can just do the same method and attach the RDM file or data store to the new OS file and you are off again. Although I would rather stay with the first install.

I can't see a lot changing per upgrade as the packages are easy to change the OS is similar in each of it's incarnations. At least when you have one working reliably why change. Remembered this is slightly wrong in the upgrade method risk wise.

The install has 2 files the boot disk and the pat file. Now the pat file writes to the first disk and uploads the system firmware or OS type system.The risk involved occurs when the system boot from the system sees the new firmware and then tries to format your data drive. The best way is to not upgrade for this reason if you value your data. You can specify to check the disk and not format, but you might forget, and inadvertently destroy your data. There are similar risks involved when upgrading a Qnap but they rarely occur. Some have upgraded though the OS web interface itself just applying the pat file, but this is patchy on Xpenology. I have it running on an old HP mediasmart server.

Been up for several months now with no issues whatsoever. It's a file server for all my mac clients, webserver (joomla and wordpress dev environments), mysql box and media server to my naimuniti.

Mines hanging off a UPS (old habits die hard) so not sure how they cope with power cuts. Mine is scheduled to turn off overnight anyway. I haven't looked at the remote access stuff as I don't need it. Next on the list is to play with Amazon Glacier for backups - there is an app for that.

I was going to sell the mediasmart as I'd had enough with WHS v1. In then end I've changed the processor and xpenology runs a treat. Try it out, I don't think you'll be disappointed. Im seriously considering it as the alternative to Ubuntu.

Think Im going to have to play. Might do tomoz if im still ill. ( Got bloody Vertigo and Graphic design at college is proving difficult to do when everything spins! ) Rednot - does yours boot off usb drive or HDD??

Really wanted a solution to boot off the 250gb ideally even though I do have a couple of spare usb flash lying about. The biznes - do you know if the onboard NIC is supported now with the 54? Was hoping to use the onboard rather tahn buying new NIC. I can't answer for the on-board as I use an Intel, but there is an easy work around install the HP Esxi image and run as a VM like I do. I find it a better solution for me personally. I can do more with the box, but only downside is the drives will not spin down. You can though install to a HD this way easily also.

You can boot of a HD when bare metal install, but it has to be the left first bay of the 4 drive bays Port 0 for it to work. I believe that is still the case until someone manages to change the boot loader. I hope you get better soon. Cant seem to get the WOL sorted though? Not played enough yet.

Im a little bothered by the hdd's though. I have 3x2tb drives in plus the 250gb.

Total size of the array in DSM is 3.9tb so all I can presume is that the arrary is setup for raid5 so 4tb usable and a partity? Does this seem right and can it be changed?

Also, can I remove the 250gb from the array and just use the 2tb drives? This is the storage screenshot. Not sure if something to do with it previously having Openmediavault on? Sorry for the Noob questions! Just things I have noticed. The WOL I think is another problem area with the Microserver install and I think you will have to trawl through the threads on the Xpenology forum.

I don't think anyone has this working as yet The array you set up is specific to DSM it's nothing to do with Openmediavault any more Here is a calculator to help you understand what you are configuring with SHR (Synology Hybrid Raid) It looks like you have all 4 drives in the array as it only shows 1 volume and the calc of space can be different with SHR volumes so refer to the link above for different configurations. I think with SHR similar to Unraid you can have 1 parity drive configurations. With the 3. 2TB and without the 250Gb in the volume you would have retained the same space you have created now as the usual Raid 5 array. You have no data so you can delete and start again. Play around before and be sure you can recreate what you want so you are clear in your mind to be able to do it again.

Think about what you exactly want to do drive wise and have a play, and think what you may add in the future. It wouldn't take much to mess with a smaller configuration like say just the 250GB and play with the system before you had committed to now initializing such a large array, but as you have sit back read and when it's ready play then decide you can always re-install. I personally would install without the 2TB in place so on first initialization It can then only create the one disk volume the 250GB.

Then reboot add the 2TB drives and go the custom route and setup a Raid 5 or whatever you want so you have another volume with which you will install your data. Having a single volume 1 disk as boot or first disk could be better as any system settings will always be there on that disk no matter how you configure your main raid array later. So if you add more drives to the machine you can always get into your old OS setup add and configure with confidence. The only way to change the configuration of the array is delete the volume and re set up what you require.

You can change this at any point prior to copying your data. Afterwards you risk losing data as you have to delete the volume. Usually adding more drives to the array means wiping data and starting from scratch. So I would read up on Synology SHR raid as it's more specific not sure of full options available. If the 250GB was setup as boot you can't just simply remove it.

If you do you will have to boot off USB and then run the pat file again to initialize the first disk. This could lose you the data on the raid array as the system wont know of it's configuration anymore. It takes a long time to initialize and with Esxi install after it's done first reboot it try's to configure the HD's and initialize again.

Just a tip if yours does try. Look for custom option and you can bypass this and then the next following reboots are OK. Please bear with me here things in your install are more specific to bare metal installation.

Although I have done the same a while back, as I have said I use the Esxi route and may be misleading you. So please read the forums as well to confirm. What do you think of the interface? Look at the packages and add this link to the settings of them so you can obtain more community packages here. Sorry for the wall of text.

Redone the array to have the single 250gb on its own and the 3x2tb drives as another. Got the system 90% setup but having trouble connecting via openvpn. It connects as far as authentication but when I put any of my usernames into the login, it refuses it and wont connect. Ports are forwarded right and got the setup right but still refuses to login.

It goes as far as authentication so this bits right. Used external Synology DDNS WAN ip to connect which seems to work. Wanted the VPN to login to the network when im either working away/ remotely, on holiday or college. Now just got to copy everything over.

Also, I want to run the webserver but only locally as test system for sites and to teach myself some CMS systems. How can I get it to not be shown locally. I guess not opening ports to the router? Cheers, really enjoying DSM now. Hi, I too am a DSM newbie, but gradually getting to grips with it. Not sure if you got your WOL sorted or not, but as a fellow N54L baremetal installer I thought I would chip-in I do not take any credit for this, it was on the XPEnology forums (somewhere), I just have it handy in my notes Wake On LAN (WOL) 1. Using PuTTY to SSH into the server using username of “root” and password set during install.

Use vi to modify /etc/synoinfo.conf: a. Set the line wolenabledoptions=”” to “g” b. Set the line eth0woloptions=”” to “g” c. Save and exit. Use WinSCP to use SCP to connect to the server using username of “root” and password set during install. Copy the file “S99ZZZShutdown.sh” (from the attached zip) to /usr/syno/etc/rc.d/ 5. Edit the file properties and give it executable permission.

Reboot the server. You should now be able to use any WOL application, (including the Synology Assistant software) to wake your server. Hope that it helps and works for you.
