Install on QNAP NAS

Hi,

Following the recent announcement of QNAP partnering up with NX Witness, I purchased a QNAP NAS to solely be an NX Witness server. I've followed the NX Witness guide, however when I click Deploy from the VM Marketplace in QTS, it starts deploying the virtual machine NX Witness (as a Background Task), but it never gets past 3.95%, after which it just hangs.

I can stop the background task and start again, get exactly the same results, although sometimes it stops at 3.71%, or anything between that and 3.95%.

The QNAP interface is a little new to me but I've worked with many other NAS interfaces. I believe it is setup correctly, and I have gotten other Marketplace VMs to work as a test (pfSense for instance). 

I'm out of ideas, any help is much appreciated.

  Hi Oliver Grimwood,

  While other community members might have helpful insights to share, contacting QNAP directly is likely your best route for resolving this issue quickly.

  With kind regards.
