  1.  

    My question is: should I install the new disk inside the XPEnology box, create a new volume (volume4) and use this as the backup destination or should I insert the HDD into a USB external box and backup

     

    Within the same box is not a backup, hardware failure/fire etc...

    Backup is on different system our even better: different location

  2. Danke für die Antworten.

    Ich teste es die Tage, wenn mal Zeit da ist.

     

    hier noch ein beispiel:

     

    To add.....

     

    both HP N40l and Gen8 Microservers were upgraded from "XPEnoboot 5.2-5967.1" to "Jun v1.01" boot loader

    and when they booted up it asked if i wanted to migrate which i did, it then asked for a PAT file which i gave the latest PAT from Synology site for DSM DS3615xs

    and both servers upgraded seamlessly from DSM 5.2 to DSM 6.0.

     

    I obviously burnt the new image file to my boot USB's for both servers and set the VID, PID of each stick and the respective MAC's for each server.

     

    It worked great.

     

    Oh and on the HP n40l i chose to boot the AMD option which works great!!

  3. Sollte gehen nur was wohl den anderen nicht aufgefallen ist wie bekommt man die 5. Platte in den Gen8 der kann nur 4x3,5 + 1x2,5 im odd ?

    Ist das nicht ein 5,25 Slot?

    Trotzdem Vorsicht, der odd ist nur 3gb/s und nicht 6

  4. Ah okay sorry :grin:

     

    Methode: Baremetal

     

    Hatte bereits diese Anleitung von Synology gelesen, nur weis ich nicht ob das auf mich auch zutrifft.

    https://www.synology.com/de-de/knowledgebase/DSM/tutorial/General/How_to_migrate_between_Synology_NAS_DSM_5_0_and_later?q_id=484〈=deu

     

    lässt sich der SHR Verbund irgendwie übertragen ohne Datenverlust?

     

    so wie ich die englischen threads verstanden habe ja. Wen man den loader benutzt erkennt er bij de installation das schn daten drauf sind, mittels migraton sollte das gehen.

    Steht aber weiter nicht viel druber im forum, backup machen und probieren ? :smile: Du willst den server auch Bare Metal betreiber oder esxi ?

  5. Wie läuft es jetzt?

    - Baremetal

    - ESXi

     

    Wenn ESXi:

     

    - Virtual drives

    - Rdm

    - Passtruth

     

    Bisschen zu wenig Info um was sinnvolles zu sagen

  6. What I want to do instead, is mirror an entire NAS to the other NAS that is running on the same local network. Since they will be physically separated, this will reduce that risk. This will involve buying another HP Gen 8 and the exact same drives.

    .

     

    sounds like what you are looking for is shared folder sync (replicate 1:1 to another NAS): https://www.synology.com/en-uk/knowledg ... foldersync

     

    For the backup NAS i woudnt use a raid 1 setup as its the backup devicec you just need the storage capacity, or you want to go double save

  7. To install on VMware ESXi or Workstation do the following:

     

    Download VMware ESXi HWv10 | XPEnology-DSM-6.0.2-8451.5-quicknick-esxi-boot-v2.2.ovf.zip | md5sum 1b6b745838fc4703d1b4c9fa2f878254

    Extract zip file on your computer

    Import OVF into VMware

    Add vDisks, RDM disks or PCI-E Pass-through storage controllers

     

    Let's assume we do have a working XPEnology 5.2 installation running with PCI-E Pass-through storage controlller, will a migration from 5.2 to 6 be possible with a new VM?

    So follow your installation steps for ESXi but PCI-E Pass-through the existing storage controller from old VM XPEnology 5.2 to new VM XPEnology 6 and it will detect a migration?

     

    I would say yes from theory perspective as the disk will be recognized.

    Didn't test it ever, Theory should be ok.

     

    Maybe someone has experience with this, bassist same as moving disk from a physical synology device to another hardware behavior is same

  8. stick to "new" raid-groups maybe in next DSM version no support of SHR at all anymore...just to "stay" safe

     

    don't expect this to happen from Synology side as SHR is one of the USP's they use for their systems.

    I understand the raid part for more commercial hardware and systems with large amount of disks as SHR takes more CPU/Mem load and its not enterprise advised.

    But still this should not go in the direction to remove SHR total out of DSM, in 6 its still supported but not on all types of machines.

     

    But ok, thats all assumptions we will see....

  9. Dutchman How does one do that?

    [Change the config file so the device will support an SHR volume]

     

    So im told by synology that the device natively will be able to recognise a SHR volume and load it, but cannot be expanded on.

     

    How do i get around this? Will your recommendation to change the config file rectify this?

     

    Here we go:

     

    I will try again once 2.3 is release, but at this time SHR is not available.

    (had to manually enter USB PID/VID as I got the / error)

     

    I am using bare metal install, on Levono TS140 server (24GB ECC and Xeon E3-1225v3) 5xHDD

     

    SHR will never work standard as the emulated DS1815+ is not supporting SHR in DSM 6 but there is a workarround !

    The loader (2.2 has it already) can activate SHR for you, on other versions you can edit the config file of you Xpenology system to activate SHR (i used that!)

     

    You dont need a DS1815+ for SHR support
    
    just edit /etc.defaults/synoinfo.conf
    comment out/delete
    supportraidgroup="yes"
    
    then add
    [b]support_syno_hybrid_raid="yes"[/b]
    
    press F5 on you web browser
    

     

    Waiting for 2.3 too, my NIC's are not recognized on Bare metal installation this will be an interesting week :grin:

  10. vielen Dank für die Antwort. Lohnt es sich den aktuellen Loader zu nehmen oder auf den Bootloder von xpenology zu warten, wie in der Vergangenheit? Etwas Angst um die Daten.

     

    Juno loader läuft gut habe damit keine Migration Erfahrung.

    Wenn du auf Nummer sicher gehen willst warte auf 2.3.

     

    Und sowieso: immer Backup von wichtigen Daten machen!

  11. Well everyone, I wanted to have this finished for a Christmas present, but alas the day has past. I haven't been able to do much last several days, but will work on it this week. Only a few things left to finalize. Major changes and inprovements coming in 2.3. Please be patient.

    Dude it's Christmas also for you to relax and enjoy, we can wait some days to get it right :smile:

     

    And people who can't wait, find something else this is community effort!

    I think the bigger why that needs to be asked is why would you "waste" that server on DSM???

     

     

    I tried running on FreeNAS but was unable to get the various packages to work together (nzbget, sonarr, transmission) and I find the DSM interface to be much better. I had previously installed DSM 5.2 but now want the DSM 6 since it has some nice features added.

     

    quicknick, when will v2.3 be released?

     

    with that hardware i would really advice you to take virtualisation as an option and make yoiur virtual machines handling different duty's between the capacity you have.

    DSM can do a lot, the question is should you focus all on one. I have several VM's running to make this split and assign resource according my needs (as example)

  13. I am now copying from NAS to NAS by using Win 10 (so copy network drive to network drive)

     

    Here I have a speed rate of average 50MB writing which makes sense (50 read + 50 write = 100 MB/s on gig lan)

     

    Looks like I have to do it like this, but still annoying that the web file browser only kicks up to 150kb by using CIFS mapping.... Getting lost in this behavior

  14. Das spielt aber beim Softwareraid, wie in diesem Fall, keine Rolle sondern nur beim Hardwareraid weil die Raidcontroler nur eine begrenzte Zeit auf die Fehlerkorrektur warten (10-30sek)

     

    Schließe ich mich an, selber Diskussionen sieht man über SAS und SATA.

    Klar in enterprise nimmt man SAS, aber wir sind ja alle hobbyisten [emoji12]

  15. Hmm not tested by myself but have it running on same baremetal but than passing the disks to xpenology by RDM so can't help in troubleshoot.

     

    But... Any reason you use the internal raid?

    Xpenology (and shr) is much more flexible.

    Sure you have ilo so if raid fails you can still connect remote and troubleshoot.

    But I would like to understand why you would use the low performing internal controller above dsm?

    I think DSM itself is limited to 8 cores, and that will include hyperthreaded too... So my dual L5630 with 16 'cores' only uses 8 of them.

     

     

    If that is true, how does the synology FS3017 have Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3 (two of them)? so does this product not utilize all cores then?

     

    to bad i cant find the post back somewhere here in the forum, there is a hard limit for amont of CPU all other wil be ignored.

    This was a limitation by DSM as far i understood. The WHY question related to FS3017 is not answered by this i understand, but still its for sure there is a hard limit.

    I think Juno or quicknick provided that reply but not sure (as i cant find it back :evil: )

  17. Thanks, Dutch.

     

    Does anyone know if the LSI 9211-8i card will work with this bootloader v2.2? I didn't see it in the drivers page.

     

    What's the difference with this bootloader vs Jun's?

     

    The lsi cards mostly work as I see I other topics, all assumptions until it out and tested maybe the maker can clarify :smile:

     

    Differences are mentioned in different topics, highest benefit I see is the loader accessible by ssh to handle tasks and a lot automation (set vid / pid, serie number etc,) and update of the boot loader online

     

    XPEnology bootloader for DSM 6.0.2-8451.5
    
    Welcome everyone to a new bootloader for Synology DSM 6.0.2-8451. There are many enhancements in this bootloader to make it more robust and feature rich. Included in this bootloader is a brand new purpose built configuration tool which will be discussed later in this post. Additionally, drivers have been compiled to ensure everyone can utilize this with great success. This suite, comprised of bootloader and configuration tool has been thoroughly tested and vetted to provide the XPEnology community with a reliable NAS solution.
    
    I have to give major credit to @jun for providing information and insight on his module and Synology's kernel/code safety mechanisms. His work makes XPEnology installations pretty legit. I also have to give credit to the original XPEnology dev team. While they haven't assisted me directly, indirectly they have left some nuggets of information here and there, not to mention the ideas left in XPEnoboot.
    
    In addition to the great work @jun and @XPEnology dev team has done, I have added numerous compilations, tweaks and script edits to make this loader work better.
    
    Please read this thread thoroughly prior to posting questions, especially the FAQs and Installation Guide
    
    Synology Hybrid Raid (SHR is enabled by default). You can disable it by using XPEnology Configuration Tool.
    
    XPEnology Configuration Tool
    
    XPEnology Configuration Tool is a complete set of utilities within XPEnology that facilitate out of box setup with many additional features. The inception of this came about when seeing so many have difficulty in preparing their systems for XPEnology. 
    
    No longer do you need to boot to Linux/MAC/Windows to configure grub.cfg or other settings within Synology DSM. Now you can configure everything from a nice graphical menu. For those of you without serial ports or capability to access the console, do not worry. This boot loader includes telnetd and sshd out of the box. Please see the FAQs section for more information on this.

  18. I just have a quick question,

     

    If I use the bootloader v2.2 found on the first page, can I install it directly to USB and use it as a standalone system. I don't want to use it as VM.

     

     

    Also, when quicknick releases the v2.3, how can I use the latest bootloader? On the current v2.2 does creating new volume with btrf work or would I need to wait for v2.3?

     

     

    Thanks, great work by the way.

     

    Already answered several times in this topic.....

     

    Yes you can if the drivers you need are in (my NIC for example is not)

     

    2.2 > 2.3 just update the loader by that time

     

    Btrf wil work see roadmap, already works with juno loader(iam using atm)

     

    Regards,
