  1. Sí, necesita un BIOS modificado que habilite AHCI (deshabilite IDE) en el último puerto SATA (traducción de Google)
  2. Not sure what other options you "lost", and if they really matters. But as long as it works now, you should be "home safe" 👍
  3. @aniel Some more info on what loader, DSM version and your hardware would help us to help you
  4. In the BIOS I use, (TheBay) it is a subsection of the "Chipset" menu.
  5. Are your pic's showing the SSD you have problems with? As I said, it is running in IDE mode, your DSM will only support AHCI drives. Not sure what BIOS you are running, but in the one I use (TheBay), to enable AHCI on all ports, you need to go to Southbridge Config, SATA 4/5 and disable sata 4/5 IDE mode.
  6. If you use the original HP BIOS, this port is defined as IDE (ODD usage), and DSM do not support it. To use this (and the eSata) port, you need to use a hacked BIOS, enabling AHCI on all 6 ports, letting DSM use all of them.
  7. Update: I first verified the problem, booting from a ElementaryOS USB stick, it linked up at 100Mb, but I could "force" it to 1Gb. Looked in my cabinet, and found a small managed switch, planned to config it to use 1Gb/Fdx/no autonegotiaton. But as soon as I plugged in the cable, 1Gb link LED was on, and I verified it in DSM controlpanel. So, the other switch (unmanaged Cisco) was not playing ball with my N36L, but both a N40L and a N54L was having no problem with it on any of the ports. Verified with reflashing the latest original BIOS on the N36L, same problem. Returned it to "Thebay" as my other G7's are running, same results. So, what can you expect of a old N36L, with 4GB RAM, running 2 Travelstar Z7K500 in Raid-1, Btrfs ? This is a constant read/write verification of an iSCSI target, not bad for such old HW?
  8. You know what, I overlooked that "minor" detail. Thanks I have seen some people trying to force 1G with ethtool, but just like them, it crashes out my system...and I must do a power off/on.
  9. After playing around with iSCSI on an old server I "found" around, doing a clean install with Jun's 1.03b and DSM 6.2.3-25426 Update 2, I noticed the filetransfers was too slow. And sure enough, the nic was only getting 100Mb/s, and not the 1Gb/s it is supporting. Tried all the "usual stuff", replacing the cable and using a different port on the switch it is connected to, even swapped both cabel and port with a known working setup. The problem stayed with this N36L, and the other (N40L) works great at 1Gb/s with the cable and port I started with. Using SSH, I verified that 1Gb/s should be available, but it's not... admin@N36L:/$ lspci -k |grep 0200 0000:02:00.0 Class 0200: Device 14e4:165b (rev 10) admin@N36L:/$ ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ TP ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Supported pause frame use: No Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Link partner advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full Link partner advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Link partner advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Speed: 100Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: Twisted Pair PHYAD: 1 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: on MDI-X: off Cannot get wake-on-lan settings: Operation not permitted Current message level: 0x000000ff (255) drv probe link timer ifdown ifup rx_err tx_err Link detected: yes Anyone have a tip?
  10. @DaWorm 1 - Are you running a HP N40L (or other G7 microserver)? 2 - Did you update to DSM 6.x from DSM 5.x? 3 - If No, make a new thread and fill in all the details. 4 - if Yes on 2: sudo rm -r .xpenoboot
  11. You better do a RAM test, as 23GB divided on 4 sticks, does not compute 🤔
  12. If you find it for a good price, and you know this is older HW, maybe with limited expected lifespan, I say go for it. As long as it fits your needs, and you know the few tricks there is to set it up, it will give you much joy Little sidetrack: I have 3*N54L, 1*N40L and 1*N36L among my XPE boxes, The 54's in current usage, as backup targets. The 40 is a "cold backup"/test unit currently not in use The 36 I "found" some weeks ago, and is just doing some testing and playing around with, found out today that it will currently only link up as 100Mb, no way it will give me 1Gb, so I have to do some more testing when I have time.
  13. That depends on how you are going to use it. I still have "a few" of the G7's running as plain storage, no problems there.
  14. Does it get an IP from your DHCP server?
  15. Sounds like another bad cable, make sure it is Cat5e or better, and that it is terminated correct.
  16. OMG! Did you OPEN the drive, and moved the heads? 😬😬💩 Then you can kiss your data goodbye, unless you have a "clean-room" in the house... btw: was this "the other" drive, or the same that you started having problems with? btw2 : Did you do a new backup of the files, when you found out it was "just" a RAID1? As then you should have been able to get all the data from the working drive. Edit: btw3: Are you SURE it is a DS2017+ 😕
  17. 03 - You are not using a real DS918+, but a modified bootloader that has been pre-patched to support 16 disks. (not 13)
  18. @rafoloru Yes, unless your USB's are using the same VID/PID (some do), you will need to edit grub.cfg to reflect the *new* VID/PID on your new USB.
  19. @steveharman As posted here, a Synology NAS comes with 2 licenses for Surveilance Station as default. If you need more than 2, your "sh*t out of luck" as you wont be able to activate any extra licenses you buy. Supposedly there are ways to get around it, but those ways are easily blocked when updating the app, and is not supported by this community. But if you have 1 or 2 supported cameras, just go for it and see how it works for you
  20. Have a look at this, it might give you some pointers.
  21. Did you check with the MD5/SHA-256 checksums on HPE's official webpages, or did you just trust the Russian who posted a torrentlink with matching checksums ?😏 btw: The 2017.04.0 SPP is the last production SPP to contain components for the G7 and Gen8 server platforms.
  22. 1 - Is your ISP using CG-NAT? 2 - What ports have you been forwarding? 3 - Can you check them here: https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ ? 4 - Did you disable any UPnP in your router?
  23. If the make and model of the 2 USBs are the same, so will the VID/PID. In some cases, even if they are not the same make/model, they might have been "branded" with the same VID/PID (often the case with cheap no-name items). What is important, is that the USB's have unique MAC adresses listed for the nic's.
  24. Same as in any instance I would guess? If you run a hypervisor, you can run more than 1 VM on the same hardware. Why would "anyone" be running something like this? That's for us to know, and for you to find out btw: if you want to know more about this, or have any other questions unrelated to this thread, feel free to make your own thread, as that might get you "the missing help in here" 😏
