@pocopico , I am still having trouble getting the mpt3sas. ext to initialize my lsi 9305-16i hba.(bearmetal install) In dmesg, and lsmod it shows the driver is loaded. But from what I can tell the controller is never activating, in turn causing DSM 7.0.1-42218 for 3315xs not to see any drives. This is on an HP-DL380g9 server(processor e5-2640v3x2), which currently runsDSM 6.2.4 for 3617xs with no issues. Using 12 of the 16 ports on this card and booting from usb drive, with loader 1.03b. I tried tiny pill with the 3617xs loader, but it just kept rebooting as soon as it started to load. I compared the dmesg of both 6.2.4 and 7.0.1-42218, and what I see is that the driver is assigning the drives in the former. I am wondering are there some dependencies that your extension(pocopico) is not loading? I used my ilo4 virtual serial port to look at it while it is booting up. The synoboot drive partitons(1,2, and 3) are found, I also checked with fdisk -l to verifiy that partition 1 was set as active(had the asterick by it). When I do fdisk -l | grep sd it shows sda1,2, and 3 which is the usb drive. I pulled a drive out and inserted a sata drive just to see if it made a difference it did not, so I put sas drive back in server. Any help would be appreciate. And by the way great work sir!

Thank to haydibe post I was able to figure out how to add mpt3sas ext. But still not able to see drives at install start, will keep digging.

Have issue not seeing any drives when installation of dsm 7 starts. Looked at dmesg and did lsmod, the mpt3sas driver is not loading. Even though when I did a ./rploader.sh listmods, it finds ext. I also had did .rploader.sh ext bromolow-7.0.1-42218 info. Any ideas on how to proceed would be appreciated. UPDATE: Get this error when manually trying to add. The index file for https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pocopico/rp-ext/master/mpt3sas/releases/ds3615xs_42218.json extension is invalid - please report that to the extension maintainer *** Process will exit *** tc@box:~$ The index file for https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pocopico/rp-ext/master/mpt3sas/releases/ds3615xs_42218.json extension is invalid - please report that t o the extension maintainer -sh: The: not found

Excellent work Poco, just excellent. Got 7.0.1-42218 running on proxmox 7.01! Thanks for all the effort.

What is missing is ib_ipoib. I have the .ko from 5.2 but nothing recent. This is if infiniband mode is what you seek, because it currently recognizes it in ethernet mode, but RDMA, does not work, even after enabling it in synoinfo.conf

Excellent information, thats what it is all about. Thank You.

I have gotten both the infiniband and ethernet to kinda work on this card. The ethernet shows up in xpenology network control panel, when I have the port set to infiniband it does not. So still need to know how to make that happen. I can manually assign the infiniband port a ip address and connect to the xpenology gui with that address, but does not show up in network gui.

I added the infininband 5.2 drivers to the /lib/modules/ folder and edited the rc accordingly. And now have lights on card and subnet manager on Windows pc shows it is up. I can also see the card using ifconfig -a in putty, all drivers show loaded when doing lsmod. But I still cant get it to show in the xpenology network gui, so I can set the ip address. I am installed bare metal. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Hi, question is how did you get the card to be recognised in xpenology. I am running 5.2.5644, and can see the drivers are already configured in the rc files. And the modules(mlx_compat.ko mlx4_en.ko and mlx4_core.ko) are in the /lib/modules/ folder. But card does not show up in GUI or in the verbose when booting up. If I do ifconfig -a it is not there. If I do lsmod they show up there but don't think mlx4_en.ko is getting loaded correctly. Any help would be appreciated. I have the card in the topic.
