    HP Microservers above 6.2

    in DSM 6.x

    Posted · Edited by sandisxxx

    Hello community. I have been really struggling yesterday after I (without research) updated from Jun's loade 1.02b DSM 6.1.X 3615sx to Jun's loader 1.03b and DSM DSM 6.2-23739 - HP Microserver Gen8 bare metal.

    I migrated everything successfully and then hit the Update button (badum ts).

    Then I figured that this is probably due to the internal NICs not being supported any more.

    My NICs are Broadcom BCM5720.

    I would like to have the latest DSM running, due to security patches and also due my Let's encrypt certificate.

    It does not seem to work now with the older build.

    Question: Is there ANY way how to make the Internal NICs work with the latest DSM or the only possible way is to get a supported NIC?

    I was not really able to find any solution for this, just putting in a PCIEx NIC.

    And if the PCIEx NIC is the only possible way, do you have specific NIC models as well as some advice, how to perform this on an existing DSM 6.2-23739 bare metal installation?

     

    THanks

    I am running 15152 Update 5 with Jun's loader 1.02a on HP Microserver Gen8(stock RAID controller) bare metal.

    Thanks for the info, going to update now and report the results.

    In my case, also everything was OK. Even Docker container still works just fine.

    HP Microserver G8 Baremetal upgrade to 6.1

    Thanks all for the replies, especially jensmander.

    Will give it a shot and I believe, with your instructions, it will be just fine.

    Will try to report back when done.

    I have also a testing VM for experiments, so first I will give it a try in the VM environment.

    Cheers.

    Hello community, I was googling for an hour now and was not able to find any guide how to upgrade from 6.0.2 to 6.1.X on my HP MS G8.

    Using Jun's loader for the 6.0.2 booting from USB.

    Please send me a link or advice, how I can upgrade without loosing the Config and Data.

    Thanks

    anyone used XPEnology on a small single board computer?

    Great Idea!

     

    The Raspi and other Pi and similar variants all use ARM processors and as such incompatible with EXP requiring X86/X64 processors. :sad:

     

    But!

    Not all SBCs are ARM based! As you mentioned, A Latte Panda(an Intel Atom based SBC) WOULD work, but I wouldn't recommend it. it is lacking in ports severely. (Plus some huge overheating problems iv seen)

     

     

    If I were to try and do this, Id probably pick up one of the AMD/Intel Embedded processor motherboards from NewEgg (listing)

     

    I personally like the options this one provides:

     

    *Pretty cheap at ~$75

    *DC barrel Plug that can run from 12 or 19 volts (Should allow you to use an old Laptop Powerbrick to run the thing)

    *Uses DDR3 SODIMM memory for tiny form factor

    *2 on-board SATAIII(6 Gb/s) ports

    *Gigabit LAN

    * Relativley powerful Dual-Core Celeron processor

    *2 miniPCI ports

     

     

    I think my favorite part is the 2 miniPCI ports. Why? because these exist which would allow you to add two extra SATAIII ports PER MiniPCI port!! (Also a half-length version is available if you wanted to add 2 SATA cards as one of the ports is full length and the other one is half length)

     

    If you were to populate the two PCI connectors you could effectively use 6 Drives in the build :smile:

     

    What a great reply to the topic.

    I totally did not know about th mPCIEx / SATA3 cards.

    EDIT: How is it about the dirvers, for example, does Junos 1.01 loader support those cards?

    Thanks for this!

    [SOLVED] Junos Loader DSM6 HP Gen8 DTS audio?

    in Packages & DSM Features

    Posted · Edited by Guest

    Hello community, I have HP Microserver Gen8 with Celeron G1610T CPU, running Junos loader DSM6 Update 9.

    I have noticed, that in Video station, all movies with DTS audio do not play.

    I have found, that I need to install FFMPEG package here:

    https://nunobhorta.com/enable-ffmpeg-dt ... o-station/

    I have downloaded the packages and there is plenty of them, depending on the original CPU in Synology NAS devices.

    Please advice which package to install or how to make DTS audio movies play in DSM6 Video station.

     

    Thanks.
