    I can confirm that AI analytics works with a P2000... Didn't have any other graphic card to test, but P2000 works flawlessly...

    As mentioned in my previous post in this thread the deep video analysis (dva) with a GTX1050 card is not working. One of the dva binaries is restarting in the system and crashes again and so on. After a lot of experiments with a GTX1050 card I have it working in a DVA3221 (7.01 42218 update 3 SS8 and/or SS9 beta in Proxmox) 😅

     

    If somenone is interested in how it's done than let me know. Perhaps other GTX10xx series will work as well.

    This is great news. It is good to know that we are not limited to a single GPU and this may open up the door for even more power with SS

    Hello all,

     

    Thanks a lot to all who contributed to the work on a loader for the DVA3221, magnificient. I think I can answer some of the questions which where mentioned by Orphée.

    In a Proxmox 7 environment I have a DVA3221 running for 2 days. Motherboard is an Asrock H370 with a i3 8th gen. The loader was build in Tinycore (and before that in TOSSP toolchain). The serial/mac was generated there as well.

    My first test was with a GTX1050 card which was recognised in DSM7.0.1 u3. In the log file however was a continous fault message:  segvault Synodvad, error 4 in libdvacore.dll. No AI functionality.

    Replacing it with a GTX1650 works flawless. No fault messages anymore and AI (video deep learning) is working. It recognises peoples, cars, license plates. It has 8 camera licenses, and I have 2 camera's active at this moment. Both with AI. Hope this gives some answers.

     

    Regards, Paul

    I wonder if the GTX1050 failed on the basis of having Pascal cores and the 1650 having Turing or if it is a case where they somehow hardcoded the 1650 into the code.

    I bought a hp oem system with core i5, 8gb ram and nvidia gtx1650.
    I wanted the GPU to match original spec in order to avoid incompatibility risks.
    And yes now it works.
    2 things :
    - i don't know if it will work with other nvidia gpu than a 1650.
    - i can't garrantee advanced AI feature will work without real SN/mac
    I can(edit fixed) confirm i was able to run a VM without GPU with SS functionnal for normal use without AI features, so it should apply to baremetal as well.
    By the way you will have to wait for@yanjun to update repository and@pocopico to update custom_config to add DVA3221.
    At least to use tinycore@pocopico must upload fixed redpill.ko with fix led value to true.
     
    I'm not at home currently so can't post custom_config value...
     
     
     

     

    This is so awesome. Would the advanced AI features need the SN/Mac of a DVA3221 or any box? Since I don't connect my stuff to the internet anyway, I wouldn't mind using what I currently have. 

     

    The GPU is where I'm stuck. I was looking at getting a T1000 because its specs are nearly identical to the 1650 with a lower power requirement and profile. 

     

    I think I'm going to go for the gusto..lol. Thanks for replying and you working on this.

    DVA3221 Baremetal status update :

    Fixed !! Baremetal booted !!

    https://github.com/dogodefi/redpill-lkm/blob/develop/config/platforms.h#L129

    Need to change ".fix_disk_led_ctrl = false," to ".fix_disk_led_ctrl = true,"

    like on DS918+ !

    And for Virtual Machine (ESXi/Proxmox VE) :
    need to update SATA boot to "synoboot_satadom=2"
    https://github.com/dogodefi/redpill-load/blob/develop/config/DVA3221/7.0.1-42218/config.json#L106

     

    So I'm in the boat of wanting to run a DVA3221 next to my 1621+. If we have a spare nvidia GPU lying around, we are able to run the complete system baremetal?

    I usually try to handle my own problems but this has been kicking my butt all day.

     

    I've finally decided to update my box but now I can't even load the the dang .pat file. Synology Assistant sees the NAS, and I'm able to ping it but when I try to reach the Web Assistant, it is telling me that connection failed and I need to check my settings. I've opened up the firewall and nothing. I've used the 10.3 custom esxi and 10.5 and both are giving me the same issue. My setup is below

     

    4 Cores

    4GB RAM

    10.3/10.5 VDMK with 8GB second drive (VM Paravirtual)

    LSI 1068E IT Mode passthrough with 4 drives attached.

     

    I've searched and came up empty. I was wondering if anyone has ran into this issue and if you have, what did you do to fix it.

    I'm extra lost now...lol. This is working in Virtualbox but won't let me do anything in ESXi or VMWare Player. So I'm going to install the .pat and then create an OVA and try to install from there. *crosses fingers*

     

    -----------------------------------------------------------

     

    I'll be doggone if that didn't work. I had to install DSM in Virtualbox, create an OVA but that didn't work in ESXi, so I had to run it in VMWare Player and then use vCenter Converter to move it to esxi but it picked everything up, didn't lose data, though I had to recreate users and reinstall packages. Everything is looking great so far!

    @r.og - I believe that he was running the version that he did the guide for. I'm still in the process of setting mine up, but because I used some of my Server build budget to buy a new Nexus 7 (lol), I have to cheap out and use the BR10i and hope that work..lol.

     

    @kwiky - I don't know for sure but hopefully, he will chime in with some info

    Thanks for the reply. I'm in the process of building another whitebox and was going to test this out.

     

    *My Whitebox Specs*

    A serious kick-ass box you're building there! Personally though ... I went SSD for datastores, and I'm not going back. Ever. 'Nuff Sed.

    So, if you've got the 'spare change', put the core VMs on SSD ... just brilliant.

    Thanks!

     

    I wanted SSDs but I still can't justify cost per GB. The Velociraptors are also from my previous whitebox so I'm saving money on that front...lol. And that's good to hear regarding the M1015.

    *M1015 that I was going to IT Mode

    *NORCO SS-500 5-Bay Hot Swap

    *5x WD 2tb RED Harddrive

     

    I really wanted to use the M1015 for the SATA 3 port and that's why I was asking about the RAID card.

    If your ESXi supports PCI passthrough, then you'll have the option to assign PCI Cards to your VM. This requires a number of hardware devices to be compatible, (processor, motherboard, bios, pci card, etc.). If and only if all those are compatible, and the PCI card you want to pass through to the Synology is recognised by it (and it's hardware drivers), then you're good to go. I had to change out a fair few hardware controllers before I found one which was stable and worked in VMDirectPathIO mode. My advice, use RDM unless you really, really need SMART monitoring.

    How are you doing? I came across this post and I was wondering what controller you found to be the most stable. I just prefer controller passthrough instead of RDM.
