Installing RHEL 9 on Synology Virtual Machine Manager (The Easy Way)

If you tried installing RHEL 9 on Synology VMM , you probably hit this nightmare: Installer freezes waiting for multipath siblings of sda Kernel panic “Unable to mount root fs” Black screen forever I spent hours figuring this out. This guide will save you that pain and help you create a Golden Template so you only install once and clone forever. Why RHEL Fails on Synology VMM Synology VMM uses simplified KVM virtualization. RHEL assumes enterprise SAN storage and enables multipath disk detection by default. Synology presents a single virtual disk → RHEL thinks it’s a SAN disk → installer waits forever for extra disk paths → boot fails. The fix is simple once you know it. Step 1 — Create the VM with Correct Settings Create a new VM in Synology Virtual Machine Manager . Use these settings: General OS Type: Linux Version: Other Linux CPU & Memory CPU: 2 vCPU minimum (4 recommended) RAM: 4 GB minimum (8 GB ideal) Boot Mode (IMPORTANT) Use BIOS / Legac...

System Design Techniques

1. Read-Heavy System: Consider using a cache. 2. Low Latency Requirement: Utilize cache and CDN. 3. Write-Heavy System: Use message queues for async processing. 4. ACID Compliance: Opt for RDBMS or SQL Database. 5. Unstructured Data: Choose NoSQL Database. 6. Complex Data (Videos, Images, Files): Go for Blob/Object storage. 7. Complex Pre-computation: Use Message Queue & Cache. 8. High-Volume Data Search: Consider search index or search engine. 9. Scaling SQL Database: Implement Database Sharding. 10. High Availability, Performance, & Throughput: Use a Load Balancer. 11. Global Data Delivery: Employ a CDN. 12. Graph Data: Utilize Graph Database. 13. Scaling Various Components: Implement Horizontal Scaling. 14. High-Performing Database Queries: Use Database Indexes. 15. Bulk Job Processing: Consider Batch Processing & Message Queues. 16. Server Load Management: Use a Rate Limiter. 17. Microservices Architecture: Utilize an API Gateway. 18. Redundancy for Single Point of Fail...
