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?

Hi team,

 

Please help.

I have the VM working and it is great.

Unfortunately that model used in the VM is DS3615xs

Which unfortunately does not support Synology Hybrid RAID Option

 

I currently have a 8bay NAS DS1813+ full of drives (7x 4TB) SHR Volume with 2 disk fault tollerance.

 

My intention is to move to a computer and I want to build a vmware box that contains all my SATA drives. Therefore i could expand beyond the 8 limit.

I am hoping the "Virtual DS3615xs" will just recognise my SHR volume. I have been on to Synology support and asked them if even though a new SHR volume cannot be created on this model "DS3615xs", will it be able to recognise an existing one from another NAS if i migrate the drives across. Nobody could give me a straight answer on this.

 

My question is... 1 will the above work (will DS3615xs recognise an existing SHR volume) ? If not - Can i create a VM of a different model of NAS that does support SHR?

If i need to go with the latr.. .what is the steps involved in getting it working? ie how did you create the VM.. Or can i just modify yours easily?

 

Thanks Guys,
