- Outcome of the update: UNSUCCESSFUL - DSM version prior update: DSM 6.2.3-25423 - Loader version and model: Jun's Loader v1.03B 3617XS - Using custom extra.lzma: No - Installation type: VM ESXI 6.7 U3 - Additional comment : ERROR 13 (File Corrupt)

I suspect the problem is the software RAID controller (Marvell) is not supported in anything outside of Windows. Windows doesn't even see the drives until you manually load the driver. I don't think it is likely I will manager to get this device working on anything other than Windows.

Has anyone successfully installed Xpenology on one of these? I have tried various loaders but the closets I have been is with 1.02b. I am doing all the usual steps setting a serial, mac address and PID/VID., DS3617xs 6.1 Jun's Mod V1.02b - boots and loads the setup but tells me I have no disks installed Ds3617xs 6.2 1.03b Loader - boots but doesn't show on the network Ds3615xs 6.2 1.03b Loader - boots but doesn't show on the network Ds918+ 6.2 1.04 Loader - boots but doesn't show on the network Ds918+ 6.2 1.02a Loader - boots but doesn't show on the network I am going to go back and try an older version to see if that is any good but if this doesn't work I may just go with FreeNAS. I usually run XPEnology on ESXI but I will only be using this for storage now so wanted to go bare metal. DS3615xs 6.0.2 Jun's Mod V1.01 - I will try this next. https://www.storagereview.com/review/wd-sentinel-ds6100-review

N40L ESXI 6.0 U2 - Upgraded to DSM 6 - BROKE VOLUMES
magicdotjs replied to magicdotjs's topic in Archives
They are using the onboard raid in the HP N40L. I have now setup a 2nd VM on the same server using a OVF template someone posted, this VM doesn't update to version 845, I get error 21 when it gets to 20%. I was able to create a volume on the 16GB vmdk that it installed which I think was using IDE. I have now formatted a disk and created a new SCSI vmdk but it is now showing up in storage manager so I am a bit further on with disks but not able to update, I might try a new vmdk in workstation instead of vSphere and choose SATA or IDE. -
Can anyone help me with the latest working steps? Took the advice of a post saying just update and that's worked but the volumes won't mount and I can't format them as a new disk. ESXI 6.0 U2 HP Microserver

N40L ESXI 6.0 U2 - Upgraded to DSM 6 - BROKE VOLUMES
magicdotjs replied to magicdotjs's topic in Archives
When I try creating a group I get "failed to apply settings" and when I boot I get a notification saying "Abnormality detected on NAS2. All volumes have been unmounted." -
I have been holding off upgrading to DSM 6 since seeing the main thread started months ago hoping that eventually there would be an "official" release of XPEnolougy DSM 6 by now. This hasn't happened yet but I can see a lot of people have successfully got it running so since. I had a spare ESXI host I thought I would give it a go. I saw a couple of posts where people claimed just clicking update and going to find.synology.com allowed them to get it working. This actually worked for me as well which I was surprised about but none of my volumes are working, the data isn't important so I have even tried to format them but they still unmount during the reboot. Does anyone know if I can fix this issue? I am happy to reinstall again or delete the disks in esxi to start fresh but not sure what will even work so looking for suggestions I have read a lot of threads/posts and I think a sticky thread would be nice with the latest install methods and any bugs with fixes/workarounds

HPN54L ESXI 6.0.0 Update 1a - Transfer Speeds drop
magicdotjs replied to magicdotjs's topic in DSM 5.2 and earlier (Legacy)
I have seen this "XPEnoboot 5.2-5544.5 RELEASED !" posted recently, I have updated my box to DSM 5.2-5644 Update 5 so do I ignore that there is a new version of XPEnoboot? I am going to ignore the "DSM 6.0-7321 is available" but I hope this new version (when available) makes my life a lot easier. How do I remove a RDM? I have deleted the disk from the VM and detached the disk but I can't add it back now? Do I need to run some commands via SSH? -

I have a lubuntu VM on the same host, currently copying a 20GB file @ constant/stable 80MB/s Could this be a xpenology thing then? -

Thanks, I think I was already on 5.2.5592. I've just upgraded it yesterday but I will see if that could be a fix. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
HPN54L ESXI 6.0.0 Update 1a - Transfer Speeds drop
magicdotjs replied to magicdotjs's topic in DSM 5.2 and earlier (Legacy)
Back to trying to get this running... tempted to upgrade the N40L to 8/16GB ram to see if that helps. Disks are currently set as RDM and still got the same issues with speeds plummeting. -
Think the LaCie is just good looking, doesn't perform well but picked it up cheap cause they have released a Thunderbolt 2 version now. Would it be even possible to hack the Lacie? I would put XPE on it in a flash if I could. The DS6100 is a bit of an odd ball, it is licensed for Server 2012 R2 Essentials so don't think it likes joining a domain? Think it has to be top of the tree so but spec wise it is the best of the bunch which 32GB ECC Ram, Xeon chip & WD SE drives so I am trying to save it for important work stuff and not need it on 24/7. Don't really fancy putting £600 HDDs in a £100 MicroServer. Had a little think about what I want to achieve and here is a plan (need couple more data drives + maybe more memory for the N40L) Domain #1 N40L - 2 x 2TB + 2 x XTB VMs - DSM (Plex + Apple TimeMachine + HomeDoc Storage), KALI + Lubuntu N54L - 2 X 1TB + 2 XTB VMs - 2/3 X 2012R2 + DSM + Other VMs LaCie 5TB - iSCI 3/4 TB to the N40L + 1TB for Critical data (RAID 5) DS6100 - Domain #2 Hyper-V - 2 x 2012R2 Dev Environment Access to Domain #1 data I think I have too much kit I think the N40L + LaCie will be the main storage for Media if possible and speed won't be an issue between the 2. I am thinking now with 3 servers + the NAS that I should move them to my garage and run a cable + switch in there. If the above is possible then that is my plan, once everything is stable I might invest in more drives and then maybe get some consistency with the disks, keep some hot spares and maybe look to build a custom 8/12 bay NAS with a large SHR1 volume with any spares. Thanks very much again and apologies for the confusion, think I basically just need suggestions for how more experienced/knowledgeable people would use this kit if it were their own.

HPN54L ESXI 6.0.0 Update 1a - Transfer Speeds drop
magicdotjs replied to magicdotjs's topic in DSM 5.2 and earlier (Legacy)
still not getting stable speeds. Fresh install on the N40L. I am getting stuff transferred now but it is awfully slow. Currently moving 4K Jessica Jones and it goes from 3 to 40MB/S. I am going to have to put it down to the disks, will have some replacements soon and will just try 1 of them on its own. Can you do any sort of scans/test from within DSM or do I need to remove the disks? -

Not at all, at this stage I am willing to try anything. I am just installing ESXI on my N40L so hopefully the problem disappears on that.
