Xpenology on N54L eSata internal/external Problem

Recommended Posts

Im using XPEnology DS3612xs DSM 4.2 build 3211++ (repack v1.2) on a HP N54L.

I connected an 3TB WD Harddrive via eSata.

 

My Problem is that the eSata-Drive is not under external device. It appears in the Store-Manager.

So no HotPlug!

The Drive should be used as a Backup of the internal Drives. So Hotplug would be fine...

 

Someone with the same Problem??

 

SOLVED:

SSH to your Station and edit /etc/synoinfo.conf and /etc.defaults/synoinfo.conf

 

For N54l edit this:

esataportcfg=0x10

internalportcft=0x2F

usbportcfg=0x1FC0

From the main screen go to ‘Chipset > Southbridge Configuration > SB SATA Configuration’ and make sure your settings are the same as below:
OnChip SATA Channel = Enabled
SATA PORTS 4/5 IDE mode = Disabled
SATA EPS on all PORT = Enabled
SATA Power on all PORT = Enabled
Return to the main screen then go to ‘Advanced > IDE Configuration’ and again, make sure your settings are the same as below.
Embedded SATA Link Rate = 3.0Gbps MAX

 

Yep. Did everything above.

 

EDIT: Its weird. Everyone writes about how to use the eSata as an internal Sata. For me its never been a Problem... Even with the original HP Bios.

 

EDIT2:

This might be the Solution. Mh have to figure out the correct Values.

Solved it.

 

SSH to your Station and edit /etc/synoinfo.conf and /etc.defaults/synoinfo.conf

esataportcfg=0x30
internalportcfg=0xf
usbportcfg=0x1FC0

 

This sets the odd and the esataport to esata.

 

Edit:

Hex in Bin ( 7 usb 2esata/odd 4internal)

0x30 = 0000000 11 0000 (you could try ´[0x20=0000000 10 0000] the other one should be the odd port)

0xf = 0000000 00 1111

0x1fc0 = 1111111 00 0000

when I run these settings I loose both esata port and ood port out of storage manager is there away just to put back the ood by itself?

Look at my initial Post of this Thread.

 

For handling just the ODD or! the external as eSata try:

 

esataportcfg=0x20 or 0x10

internalportcft=0x1F or 0x2F

usbportcfg=0x1FC0

 

Setting esataportcfg to 0x30 will use ODD and! External as eSata.

If you understand the Bin to Hex then you could fingure out the Settings yourself.
