Hi I have another single port card 02:00.0 Network controller: Mellanox Technologies MT27500 Family [ConnectX-3] In another computer if that I could test tomorrow that helps

If it's working that is news to me. My test is stock DS3617xs 6.1 Jun's Mod V1.02b 7/4/2017 i did not change the usb stick. Do I need to change it for the test? The mellanox card is two ports. cat /var/log/dmesg | grep eth1 cat /var/log/dmesg | grep eth2 just returns nothing I connected the cable from one port to the other port since I do not have a 10GB Switch There are no link link lights and it does not show up with the network interfaces.

Adjusted test, removed LSI 9207 and tested the ConnetX2 card in the first slot dmesg -wH [ +0.019285] Compat-mlnx-ofed backport release: cd30181 [ +0.000002] Backport based on mlnx_ofed/mlnx_rdma.git cd30181 [ +0.000001] compat.git: mlnx_ofed/mlnx_rdma.git [ +0.061974] mlx4_core: Mellanox ConnectX core driver v3.3-1.0.4 (03 Jul 2016) [ +0.000008] mlx4_core: Initializing 0000:01:00.0 [ +0.000031] mlx4_core 0000:01:00.0: enabling device (0100 -> 0102) [ +0.530407] systemd-udevd[5965]: starting version 204 [ +1.141257] mlx4_core 0000:01:00.0: DMFS high rate mode not supported [ +0.006462] mlx4_core: device is working in RoCE mode: Roce V1 [ +0.000001] mlx4_core: gid_type 1 for UD QPs is not supported by the devicegid _type 0 was chosen instead [ +0.000001] mlx4_core: UD QP Gid type is: V1 [ +0.750613] mlx4_core 0000:01:00.0: PCIe link speed is 5.0GT/s, device support s 5.0GT/s [ +0.000002] mlx4_core 0000:01:00.0: PCIe link width is x8, device supports x8 [ +0.000080] mlx4_core 0000:01:00.0: irq 44 for MSI/MSI-X [ +0.000003] mlx4_core 0000:01:00.0: irq 45 for MSI/MSI-X [ +0.000003] mlx4_core 0000:01:00.0: irq 46 for MSI/MSI-X [ +0.000003] mlx4_core 0000:01:00.0: irq 47 for MSI/MSI-X [ +0.000003] mlx4_core 0000:01:00.0: irq 48 for MSI/MSI-X [ +0.000003] mlx4_core 0000:01:00.0: irq 49 for MSI/MSI-X [ +0.000003] mlx4_core 0000:01:00.0: irq 50 for MSI/MSI-X [ +0.000003] mlx4_core 0000:01:00.0: irq 51 for MSI/MSI-X [ +0.000003] mlx4_core 0000:01:00.0: irq 52 for MSI/MSI-X [ +0.000003] mlx4_core 0000:01:00.0: irq 53 for MSI/MSI-X [ +0.000003] mlx4_core 0000:01:00.0: irq 54 for MSI/MSI-X [ +0.000003] mlx4_core 0000:01:00.0: irq 55 for MSI/MSI-X [ +0.000003] mlx4_core 0000:01:00.0: irq 56 for MSI/MSI-X [ +0.000003] mlx4_core 0000:01:00.0: irq 57 for MSI/MSI-X [ +0.000002] mlx4_core 0000:01:00.0: irq 58 for MSI/MSI-X [ +0.000003] mlx4_core 0000:01:00.0: irq 59 for MSI/MSI-X [ +0.000003] mlx4_core 0000:01:00.0: irq 60 for MSI/MSI-X [ +0.822443] mlx4_en: Mellanox ConnectX HCA Ethernet driver v3.3-1.0.4 (03 Jul 2016) [ +3.135645] bnx2x: QLogic 5771x/578xx 10/20-Gigabit Ethernet Driver bnx2x 1.71 3.00 ($DateTime: 2015/07/28 00:13:30 $)

Good news Just test bare metal 1.02b. Works fine, updated to DSM 6.1.5-15254. Then updated o DSM 6.1.5-15254 Update 1. Restoring Data (1 Day over 1GB) Yesterday I tested ESXI 6.5 on the N54L even with 16GB it's just too slow. Today I setup a spare Sandy Bridge PC that I had to test, I needed to scrounge around for another stick of memory it's a whooping 6GB but the Core 2 E8500 runs ESXI 6.5 a lot better . I have a Supermicro X9 (Xeon) board that has poor usb boot support. I'm working on getting a hba then give it a better test. I want to test Connectx3, I see it in the device manager of Windows 2016 Essentials I need another to test with (ESXI 6.5, Xpnology 6.1). I was surprised how Widows 2016 essentials runs with a SSD on N54L. I would really like to test Hyper V with issues like images must be in iso format and samba multichannel (experimental) it seems far off. Thanks for the help, thoughts

During a test today. I setup DSM 6.1 DS3617 (2-27-2017) it works properly. I also have NC360T not plugged to the switch. Then I did the upgrade to DSM 6.1.5-15254 it went thru the whole 10 minutes and I knew something was up.. I shutdown with the power button. When it came back up "Diskstation Not Found". I shutdown again and connected NC360T to the switch. This time it found the NC360 two nics. So I logged in and I see the shutdown was not graceful, ok.... I noticed the BCM5723 is gone, it only shows the NC360T. I ran the update to DSM 6.1.5-15254 Update 1 and it is still MIA... As for the test, I was doing a test of Windows 2016 essentials. I pulled the plug and put my drives back in and I received the wonderful "Diskstation not found" from Synology Assistant. I struggled to get all my new data moved to my other box. This synology page was helpful. https://www.synology.com/en-us/knowledgebase/DSM/tutorial/Storage/How_can_I_recover_data_from_my_DiskStation_using_a_PC So the whole week no Xpenology until I read your post in about broadcom in german (google translate) to make sure C1 is disabled, and that did the trick awesome! I always have used DS3615 (i3) . So today I tested DS3617 (XEON ) on accident synoboot is 2/27/2017 It was just a test and I was surprised that the onboard nic installed but when I did the update it disappeared. I was lucky to have the other hp nic to work around it. . I need to use the onboard nic I want to try Mellanox CX324a connectX-3. So if you want me to test it out I can because I'm in between systems at the moment I've been thinking changing from Bare Metal to ESXI so I can run both. There is good howto on youtube right now. Thanks

Food for Thought I have N54L it has HP NC107i (based on BCM5723) During a test today. I setup DSM 6.1 works it works properly. I also have NC360T not plugged to the switch. When I did the upgrade to DSM 6.1.5-15254 it went thru the whole 10 minutes and I knew something was up.. I shutdown with the power button. When it came back up "Diskstation Not Found". I shutdown again and connected NC360T to the switch. This time it found the NC360 two nics. So I logged in and I see the shutdown was not graceful, ok.... I noticed the BCM5723 is gone, it only shows the NC360T. I ran the update to DSM 6.1.5-15254 Update 1 and it is still MIA...

Successfully updated bare metal HP N54L to DSM 6.1.4-15217

Ran a test today on N54L with NC360T, Installed using Broadcom On-Board Nic DSM 6.1-15047 Setup JBOD Btrfs Works fine, I can see 3 Network Connections Now the big mystery In the control Panel it showed DSM 6.1.3-15152 is available So I ran the update. It goes thru the ten minute thing and then says use Synology Assistant to find the box. Now I can only see two ip's from the NC360T. I connect to one of those and access the N54L It now has DSM 6.1.3-15152 but only 2 Network Connections. The On-board Broadcom Network Connection is gone......

N54L Bare Metal Test Disabled C1E in bios, select option 3 force first time. Tested with hp NC360T, Synology Assitant finds both but but at 57% error 13 over and over. FAILS Discouraged so I tested with onboard nic, selected Migrate and it works !!!

This helped me understand the dependencies with booting a vm instead of a usb stick. http://xpenology.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=29582 When you create the vm make sure to change the size from 8gb to 20gb or so....

Baremetal Test- DS3615xs 6.0.2 Jun's Mod V1.01 Removed Data Drives, used spare USB Stick and HD. Initial Test- N54L with NC360T Used OSFMount to change timeout value from 1 second to10 seconds Selected AMD boot Success! Next, reworked my USB stick and performed the full migration from 5.2. it was straightforward. Synology Assistant said it was migratable. So I upgraded the data and user accounts. Reconfigured my static ip, then tested performace. So far good,it's good...seems fine Thanks!!

C:\Program Files\Mellanox>ibstat CA 'ibv_device0' CA type: Number of ports: 2 Firmware version: 2.9.1000 Hardware version: 0xb0 Node GUID: 0x0002c903000972dc System image GUID: 0x0002c903000972df Port 1: State: Initializing Physical state: LinkUp Rate: 40 Base lid: 0 LMC: 0 SM lid: 0 Capability mask: 0x90580000 Port GUID: 0x0002c903000972dd Link layer: IB Transport: IB Port 2: State: Down Physical state: Polling Rate: 70 Base lid: 0 LMC: 0 SM lid: 0 Capability mask: 0x90580000 Port GUID: 0x0002c903000972de Link layer: IB Transport: IB It says I'm at 40GB over IB. I now have a green light lit on the back end of each card. But Windows Networking says the ports are unplugged. So with the N54L DSM 5.2-5644 Update 5 control panel network network interface the Mellanox MHQH29B-XTR ports are not available. Any thoughts.....

Some more Information. I removed the Mellanox MHQH29B-XTR from my N54L. To get a little more info without messing up my existing xpnology setup. I installed the Mellanox MHQH29B-XTR in a WIndows 10 64bit PC. The operating system found the card right out of the box in the device manager. There are two tools that need to downloaded MLNX_VPI_WinOF-5_10_All_win2012R2_x64 and WinMFT_x64_3_8_0_56 for connectX 2 cards. c:\Program Files\Mellanox\WinMFT>mst status mt26428_pci_cr0 mt26428_pciconf0 mt26428_pci_cr0 is the name of the device you need this to update the firmware.

boot Loading Module Megaraid_SAS fails it's red All other Modules load correctly in green The Mellanox MHQH29B-XTR is the only card in the N54L. Starting to think that the Mac Address for the Mellanox MHQH29B-XTR needs to be written into the firmware.

Update I noticed that XPEnoboot_DS3615xs_5.2-5644.4 img is now available at http:// http://download.xpenology.fr/ I downloaded the img file and then took the usb drive out of my N54L and reimaged it with XPEnoboot_DS3615xs_5.2-5644.4 on a different machine using Win32DiskImager. When I put the usb drive back in my N54L I selected the first option from the grub boot menu and it showed all the packages getting updated. When I logged seems just like normal. I'm now on the DSM 5.2-5644.4

Update I noticed that XPEnoboot_DS3615xs_5.2-5644.1 is now available at http:// http://download.xpenology.fr/ I downloaded the img file and then took the usb drive out of my N54L and reimaged it with XPEnoboot_DS3615xs_5.2-5644.1 on a different machine using Win32DiskImager. When I put the usb drive back in my N54L I selected the first option from the grub boot menu and it showed all the packages getting updated. When I logged in and checked the updates it still showed DSM 5592 so I downloaded and then installed it through the update screen and it worked. I'm now on the DSM 5.2-5644.1

Hello During the summer I tested my HP N54L with DSM_DS3615xs_5565 and it was fine. So I purchased a second HP N54L do some more testing to see it if would work for me, I started reading this forum and found a lot of good info. The first time I installed it, I remember it recommended not to run the update and so I left it stock DSM 5565. So lately I have noticed that the control panel is prompting for updates. The first time I tried to upgrade to DSM 5592 through the menu it would start fine and then stop at 65% with a Error 21 and then roll back to the main screen. Most of the stuff on the web about this error is old and does not really apply. Next,go here for the updates http://xpenology.me/downloads/ The best way I found to manage the updates is to download each one in a different folder. for example DSM 5565 Update 1 Update 2 DSM 5592 Update 1 Update 2 Update 3 Then upload each update one at a time. It takes a while to do each one, but it was straght forward to do DSM 5565 Update 1, and Update 2. However, when I tried DSM 5592 I received error 21. The way now understand is that each DSM revision requires a custom bootstrap on the usb drive. So I took the usb drive out of my N54L and reimaged it with XPEnoboot 5.2-5592.1 DS3615xs on a different machine using Win32DiskImager. When I put the usb drive back in my N54L I selected upgrade from the grub boot menu and it showed all the packages getting updated. When I logged in and checked the updates it still showed DSM 5565 so I uploaded DSM 5592 and this time it worked When I ran the updates for DSM 5592 I noticed that it did not require a reboot. That was fine but when I did Update 3. I checked Storage Manager and the Volume information was missing. So I shutdown the N54L and then started it back up and this time the Volume Information was present. So now there is a new Version 5.2-5644 released. If your not running a VM I would recommend waiting for the developers release of the cutom XPEnoboot for 5.2-5644...
