    DSM 6.2 Loader

    Since I can't edit my previous post, I can say that my installation was a complete success (see my post page 13). After backing up my files and blowing away dsm 6.01 on the disks, 6.2 installed happily, and I didn't have any issues setting my "Diskstation" back up, except having to ssh in and enable SHR again thru vi. Thanks once again Jun, your a legend!

    DSM 6.2 Loader

    Update Successful HP ML10V2 E1270V3 20Gb Ram (6 Gb assigned to DSM) ESXI 6.5u2 I am stuck with a degraded array but DSM appears to be functioning perfectly. All I did was replace the loader (v1.02 w v 1.03) and migrated. Had to make a few edit to grub config to bring my disks down from #33, and this is what crashed the disk 2. Stupid me didn't read the whole thread and installed DSM to just one disk. I don't think it liked having 2 different copies spread over 4 disks. Fortunately I was planning to upgrade the disks, so the upgrade will take a little longer: Backup the array to two 8Tb disks (if both these should fail, highly unlikely as they will be brand new toshiba's, I always have my tapes!) Blow away the array (start from scratch). Reinstall all my apps, recreate the array as SHR2 instead of SHR1 and copy back the data. In the end I'll have a 40Tb shr2 array. :) Thanks Jun!

    Working DSM 6

    Think it was Maxdrives=[12] or similar. I reduced mine to 8, to reflect the number of ports on my card. However it is only a cosmetic change for the overview panel in the storage manager. Not sure if the software limit is 12 or not. You'd have to add a 13th to find out.

    Working DSM 6

    Syno removed the shr feature from the model we are trying to emulate (DS3615XS), but as hotshots mentioned, a simple edit to the synoinfo.conf puts the feature back. While I was in there, I also edited mine to reflect maximum of 8 disks, as that's as many sata ports I have on my IT mode flashed Dell h310. Purely for cosmetic reasons on the storage overview page. One thing I noticed is 8415 upgrade 4 breaks webui in safari, but I can get in fine with firefox, so not a show stopper.

    DSM 6.1.x Loader

    3 things required for you to pass through and get smart info from the drives / have them sleep v19 firmware on the card (this is what worked for me). Don't need the bios, just the firmware. All we want is a "dumb" HBA. a vt-d capable processor (the pentium in the ML10 V2 does not support VT-d, which needs to be on in bios). Also known as "direct-path" or "direct-io". pass through of pci device in ESXI for the vm in question. i.e. I had a scsi card passed through to a windows 2008 machine (which also passed through the LTO-4 tape drive connected to it), and a usb controller and the h310 passed through to the Xpenology VM. I also passed through one or 2 ports of a 4 port intel card to each VM so they each had their own 1GbE of bandwidth instead of fiddling with virtual nics, something I'm not up to speed with yet

    DSM 6.1.x Loader

    I have this same server. Over on OCAU it has been discovered that if you disconnect the front temperature sensor, the machine quietens right down. Personally I have not done this to mine as mines running under ESXI (and is therefore silent except when I have iflicks doing work on the mac os VM). Because I upgraded mine to a xeon, I can run more than one OS and pass through a disk controller (Dell H310 flashed in IT mode) to xpenology. So I have xpenology for the nas side of things, and mac os el capitan so I can share video to an apple tv 2 (no plex for this model apple tv which is a shame), and transcode it without having to cook my poor macbooks little i5 cpu. before pulling the temperature sensor I'd be placing a thermocouple/digital thermometer on the heatsink and keeping an eye on how warm the cpu gets with the sensor connected especially during plex transcoding (play something while your not actually watching it, and monitor the thermocouple). you can also monitor this in iLO Then do the same with the sensor pulled. if it gets too hot for your liking just stop the transcode, shut down and plug the sensor back in. These servers seem to have rather agressive fan profiles, and sometimes make a hell of a racket for no reason at all. Yes I agree they do sound like a jet taking off when heavily loaded/starting up. And yes my first post on these forums. So hi everyone
