  1. In enterprise and service provider networks, 40Gig network connections are very common, and 100gig connections are becoming more common. I have 2 servers, 12x4TBSAS with 12G-SAS cards connected to a compute array (Cisco UCS) via 4x10G (40Gig) connections. I can easily see bandwidth well over 10G but i have yet to see it peak my aggregated 40G link.
  2. DNS is just a way to map a friendly string to an IP. You'll have to make sure the dns server you point your stuff to has the proper registrations and it should work just fine. If everything is on the 'inside' of the firewall though, i would simply use the internal IP addresses to make things simpler....at least for the initial setup to make sure things function, then swap IP to hostname and verify functionality.
  3. Hello All -- I have a DS1812+ and just picked up a DS410 very cheap ($20!!) I have access to many 6TB SAS drives from my work, but no sata. Does anyone know of a way to modify hardware or software to enable SAS drives to actually work in the synology appliances? Things run very well with xpenology thanks for your time.
  4. Thanks for the comment. I have some other PCI-X cards that do work, but they're full height and these servers are 2U. Maybe I'll look for some cheap riser cards or something. In my testing, it will boot up properly after a considerable hang at the XPenoboot display...but then the dmesg output is littered with ATA errors and the drives aren't visible.
  5. Hello All - From reading the documentation, it looks like the SAT2-MV8 (Marvell 88SX6081-BCZ1 chipset) -- 8-port SATA PCI-x adapter -- should be supported, but multiple machines hang during the initial boot with the card installed. Swap it out for a 9211 or other LSI card, and it's good to go.... Problem is several of my machines only have PCI-X slots and no PCI-E, so i need these 88sx6081 cards to get things rolling Card Info: http://www.supermicro.com/products/acce ... T2-MV8.cfm Is there a bug? Maybe I'm doing something wrong with inits? Thanks!
