    Drivers requests for DSM 5.2

    in DSM 5.2 and earlier (Legacy)

    Hi, Trantor!

     

    I builded recently a new hardware configuration for my xpenology - based on lsi 9211-8i with 8 hdd-s on it. So I had to try beta 6 hba version. Everything is fine except of one minor issue.

     

    Here is something strange in dmesg output:

    XPEnologyU> dmesg | grep -i pata
[    1.447614] scsi0 : pata_legacy
[    1.447724] ata1: PATA max PIO4 cmd 0x1f0 ctl 0x3f6 irq 14
[    1.599757] scsi1 : pata_legacy
[    1.599858] ata2: PATA max PIO4 cmd 0x170 ctl 0x376 irq 15

    You see here two positions reserved for pata drives... What shall it mean??? I have asus P8Z77-I Deluxe mobo without any pata at all. It has sata controller, but I turned it off completely in bios.

     

    As the result I have my 8 hdd-s as:

    XPEnologyU> fdisk -l |grep Disk |sort
Disk /dev/sdc: 2000.3 GB, 2000398934016 bytes
Disk /dev/sdd: 2000.3 GB, 2000398934016 bytes
Disk /dev/sde: 2000.3 GB, 2000398934016 bytes
Disk /dev/sdf: 2000.3 GB, 2000398934016 bytes
Disk /dev/sdg: 2000.3 GB, 2000398934016 bytes
Disk /dev/sdh: 2000.3 GB, 2000398934016 bytes
Disk /dev/sdi: 2000.3 GB, 2000398934016 bytes
Disk /dev/sdj: 2000.3 GB, 2000398934016 bytes
Disk /dev/sdu: 8004 MB, 8004304896 bytes

    And also in syno-web-interface they are enumerated as disks 3-10 (without disks 1 and 2).

     

    Are there any solution to get rid of those two invisible pata drives?

    HA Package / Disk's Numbers

    in Synology Packages

    Posted

    Hi guys.

    I've got problems trying to setup HA Package.

     

    I'm trying to configure 2 exactly the same machines (Dell Poweredge 1950 with PERC 5/i integrated SAS/SATA daughtercard controller with 2 SATA Seagate ES 750 GB hard drives).

    Instalation of 4.3 Beta 5 HBA (SAS/SCSI) was seamless (great work guys !!!) but on each machine I've got different discs numbers.

    On the first one, numbers are 3 and 4

    And on the second one, 5 and 6

    As You can see, these disks are exactly the same (size and amount) but at the end of configuration I've got this info

    I think that these disk's numbers are to blame :/

    Could anyone help me with that issue?

     

    BIOS setup (both machines) Internal SATA - Off

    RAID setup (both machines) 2 drives SATA

     

    No other disks, except usb flash drive are connected.

    Installing XPEnology on Dell Poweredge 1950 DSM 4.2

    in Archives

    Posted

    2 Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5300 sequence processors at up to 2.66GHz

    8 GB 667 MHz RAM

    2 Broadcom® NetXtreme II™ 5708 Gigabit2 Ethernet NIC with fail-over and load balancing; (turned off due to drivers missing)

    2 Intel Gigabit NIC (no problem with drivers here)

    PERC 5/i integrated SAS/SATA daughtercard controller with 2 Seagate ES 750 GB hard drives (config is 2 separate VD)

     

    I've got 2 spare servers with this configuration, and I want use them with HA package, just to replace our old DS 211j, which is getting simply slow and sluggish (users number using it jumped up from 10 to 50). Installing XPEnology on Virtualbox, EXSI is not an option, beacuse there is weird high CPU usage, and LAN transfer speed rarelly reach 20 Mb/s :/

     

     

    There is no mismatch with pat file (pat and img image is from the same zip package).

    I've tried to install XPEnology this morning with the same result :sad:

    Maybe there is a problem with this PERC controller?
