![]() ![]() The post Running SQL Server on Synology first appeared on John Morehouse. However, at the moment I am unable to pull the appropriate container image needed so this will be a work in progress. ![]() Select and prioritize the storage pools that you want to perform data scrubbing. Note: Only storage pools that support data scrubbing can be added to data scrubbing schedules. Tick the Enable data scrubbing schedule checkbox. Click the Schedule Data Scrubbing button. Remember, even with virtualization or containers, it still has to run on hardware beneath the hood. To run data scrubbing on schedule: Go to the Storage page. Given that my Synology only has 4GB available, essentially I need to upgrade the hardware. ![]() While this is a potential solution, the minimum requirements to run a SQL Server container is 2GB. The operating system kernel (usually Linux) is an abstraction layer that sits below each container. Each container allows minimal deployment of applications and services that are needed. Effectively, containers further remove layers by abstracting away the operating system entirely. Containers is the next evolution within the virtualization space. Docker is platform that is designed to run containers and you can run it on a Synology NAS device. DockerĪnother possible solution is to run a Docker container. Operating systems such as Windows require a decent amount of memory to function and it does not even address the need for SQL Server to have all the memory it can. Unfortunately, with my model of Synology, it’s lacking severely in the memory department.ĤGB of memory is minimal in order to run a virtual machine on Synology. This would be synonymous to having a VMWare ESXi host running somewhere inside your house. Synology offers the ability to create and maintain full blown virtual machines locally. Any CPU related workloads would happen locally on my laptop however any disk I/O requests would traverse the network, and well, sucked. As you might imagine, overall performance tanked. This effectively meant that I was running the virtual machine across the local area network (LAN). The movement of the virtual machines required configuring the virtual machine locally on my laptop and then subsequently moving the “bundle” to the Synology. In a previous post, I mentioned moving existing virtual machines to my Synology DS920+. Synology has a wide range of capabilities but sometimes it still falls short. ![]()
