- FREE TRIAL LICENSE DETAILS
For a FREE 1 year trial license of ANY QNAP licensed software, please email youtube_uk@qnap.com, with your QID (The email account associated with your QNAP NAS) and which software you’d like to trial. The license should appear in your account within 48 hours. Virtualization Station adds incredible versatility to your NAS. From using your NAS as a PC by connecting a keyboard, mouse, and HDMI display to creating private virtual networks between VMs, you can also use USB and GPU* pass-through to provide your VMs and NAS with greater functionality and performance. With built-in data protection features such as Snapshots, VMs can easily be protected against failure and data loss.
Virtualization Station supports various modern and legacy operating systems, from Microsoft Windows XP to Windows Server, as well as popular UNIX-like systems such as Ubuntu, Red Hat, CentOS, FreeBSD and Sun Solaris.
A built-in Access Control List (ACL) allows you to easily manage access to specific virtual machines. You can assign either control or view-only permissions of each VM to specific users.
Virtualization Station allows you to centrally monitor and manage every VM while allocating resources such as CPU, memory, and storage capacity.
Virtualization Station allows you to access USB devices* connected to the NAS from one or many VMs. GPU pass-through is also supported** by specific models with suitable power supplies to allow the usage of a compatible graphics card to empower VMs with higher processing capabilities and OpenGL and DirectX support.

Thanks Jim. I'll give that a shot when I get some time.
That was so helpful. I was stuck on that boot screen for a long time. I also had very slow install speed trying to use the IDE drivers. nice to see you can pick a driver during install. I've got this link bookmarked for the next time i setup a vm.
Suggestion for video: Memory settings. I'd like to know more about the "overcommitment", optimizer and more.
Very helpful! Thanks.
Well done. This virtualization station Windows 11 install seemed very responsive and fast. Clearly using an NVMe SSD for the VM has its benefits. However, there didn’t seem to be any mention of the model of QNAP NAS this demo was run on. Cheers.
It's the TVS-h1288X - Shows the model number under the file station portion of the video at around 1:47. I wondered the same thing though :)
@@QNAPUK Can a VM or Docker container run from a volume other than the system volume?
On the UEFI shell screen.. I think I just type exit, and then then cursor down to continue and press any key to boot it to cd.
The network VirtIO type also will give the best performance.
Is there any performance advantage of using UltraVNC from the guest tools CD rather than the built in Windows Remote Desktop client?
For Windows VM, I like to use VirtIO type for the hard drive as well as the network card. XQL for the video type.
What he said. Do not use VGA, which for me was enabled by default. Also, I find that disabling transparency and animations makes the UI less laggy--all around more useable.
How did you setup your NIC on the Virtual Switch, I have two NIC's both with a wire and DHCP/Static IPv4 according to the MAC.
NIC2 is in a Virtual Switch and have a VM using that one, but cant get internet...
How do I get Win11 to recognize that the VM is on an SSD rather than HDD? I have the VM disk image on an SSD volume, but task manager reports it as a HDD. Does it even matter? I thought Windows treated SSDs and HDDs differently. I am using VirtIO.
Thanks... This was nice setup procedure. Also help, how to remove or uninstall it properly
Power off the VM, delete the VM. There may be a folder left in the director you installed the VM, it will be empty... but you can navigate to it with File Station and delete the folder if you wish.
I've never used a VM, but my TS-873a with just 4 cores would it be man enough, also would it be able to see my other QNAP's local Samba shares over the LAN and access the Internet too?
@@QNAPUK so how much is enough ram - ballpark?
How do you know using a M2.VME SSD is faster for a virtual machine? On a normal computer with a mechanical hard drive the files are loaded into RAM and I would expect the NAS does the same thing. So I'm not sure how the M2.VME makes it faster other than the initial access of the OS boot files and files it needs to load other OS related services.
Also what happens if the M2.VME has a failure of the memory. I would suspect your VM is shot where as loading it on a RAID volume it has redundancy unless you create a RAID array of M2.VMEs or SSDs.
Whenever you have to load anything from storage, such as opening an application, a service, initial boot, etc... it is much faster with NVMe. Please feel free to try both options. It will work on HDD, no problem, I've done it and will only ever use NVMe for my VM's.
The same thing will happen to the VM if it fails and was stored on an NVMe or on a HDD, no difference, drive failure is the same no matter which drive. If you have redundant RAID, it will keep running, if not, it will fail.
I recently tried to setup a Windows 11 VM on my TS-253D. It gave an error related to hardware specs not compatible with Windows 11. Windows 11 specs states that a 4 core CPU is required? How many CPU Cores did you assign to the VM?
@@QNAPUK Thanks. I increased the CPU cores from 2 to 4 and still get this message. "This PC does not meet the minimum system requirements to install this version of Windows." Any other ideas?
@@leonarddaniel6546 Make sure your you use secure bios (UEFI). Legacy was giving me that message.
Hey - just FYI - if you HAVE a windows 11 license and try to input it during the install phase, it breaks this whole process and causes premature aging.
Could be that the license is for a different version of the Windows you have chosen to install from the ISO? Not entirely sure of any other suggestions to help unfortunately.
Nope. Used multi-version .iso and didn't get a chance to pick the version I was installing. Errors started happening before then. When I installed without license key and then activated it later, it worked fine.
Neither of the boot commands work anymore.
FS0:\EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI
FS0:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi
My Bad! I was typing a letter O (FSO:\) rather than zero (FS0:\) on the command.
QNAP developers are useless. They broke virtualisation station when they updated it to virtualisation station 3.6.52. Those of us that updated and who just so happen to uninstall it to start a fresh are now met with a virtualisation station 3.6.52 wont install error. Its been reported time and time again on the forum, a bunch of people on the forum have raised tickets and QNAP devs still haven't bothered to fix their software.
Its even happened to people who literally just purchased brand spanking new devices.
The error has been reported since November 2023, people are still reporting the errors and QNAP gives no shit. So if you think you're going to buy a QNAP and run a VM on it, think again. Its way too buggy for production use.
