I Was able to get it working just fine also. The issue is what Peter said.

if something changes, please reply to this post I have to go unraid until this issue has a development...............Sad......... CD

Interesting. SO 918+ w/model and serial passing to DSM 7.1?

@phone guy Thank you.. I know we talked on this topic before .... Its a shame because the LSI SAS2008 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 [Falcon] (rev 03) is the card to have for other distros. It has on chip per 4 ports 8 total. Is that not an ahci card when in IT mode? Either way I dont want to get in a situation where I lose 30 tb of media. I need to check plex in docker with some mod to let transcoding pass on as 3622. I am using that with my old hp54 to test. Works well. I need to dig deeper in the forums as you stated. But changing cards that would allow serial/model number to pass to the 918+ is the easier answer I will check IG-88s posts on this. TY PG

Is the idea of a HBA IT mode using 918+ just dead in the water with the issues it has saving serial/model numbers? As that is our only transcoding option? I am ready to jump ship but I will cry the entire way. TY CD

Same boat as you. Interested in the answer you your last question.

Thank you all. I have all the plex data backed up to 2 Truenas Servers. Is there any chance that the 918 will get real smart data with a driver update or is a dead end? If there is a chance I like to be involved in the development thread. TY CD

Thank you Peter Suh. M.2 is not that important to me or this plex server if it will jeopardize the raid 5 btrfs. As I see it in the chart quicksync transcoding is not an option on any other platform except DS918+ I use 8 hdds. 4 8tb 2 10tb and 2 14tb. On the H200. Logically I am out of options unless you can enlighten me with an alternative. Other than Truenas Scale (drives are a mix). or Unraid (poor performance IMO) Thank you again. CD

ok the motherboard is a Asus Z170-A. let me know your thoughts. ty CD

Yes Because of QuckSync and Plex. I will send Asus motherboard info when i arrive home. Thank you again for sticking with me. CD i was able to get dsm 7 installed. I tried to put all my sata in hot swap mode - no luck. I just turned off my motherboards sata and it worked just fine. Not sure why but it did. I would like to get my nvme drive working for cache. I will need to test that. I will pull that log when i do a new usb to test nvme with sata on. When I to override satamap and put the ports to 14 it failed and said anything over 9 does not work at this time.. Is that true? ty CD

Can Confirm the build seen, downloaded and loaded the mpt3sas. I am going to make sure all my MB ports are set to hotswap and turn of NVME and do a fresh build as it only takes a few minutes. Thank you for sticking with the thread I will post the build log later tonight. tyty CD

Thank you. worked fine in 6.1. I will check get hub for a better driver.

918+. Sata Port Map... Hope that helped. CD

Hello all. My first attempt after reading the forum 300000 times. here is my output for my satamap tc@box:~$ ./rploader.sh satamap Found SCSI HBAs, We need to install the SCSI modules scsi-5.10.3-tinycore64 is already installed! Succesfully installed SCSI modules Found "00:17.0 Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-H SATA controller [AHCI mode] (rev 31)" Detected 6 ports/0 drives. Override # of ports or ENTER to accept <6> Found SCSI/HBA "01:00.0 LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS2008 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 [Falcon] (rev 03)" (7 drives) Computed settings: SataPortMap=6 DiskIdxMap=00 All my drive are on the LSI. But DSM assistant doesnt see any drives because I assume SataPortMap=6. As my on board sata controller has 6 ports. This numbering was consistant with 6.x. as my first drive was always drive 7. No nvm2 drives are installed. I am using a migration attempt. But I have everything backed up. Seems the LSI is not reporting ports just drives. Any help is appreciated and thank you in advance. CD

Thank you all for your input this has been helpful.

I was wanted to know if anyone has a 10G card working with DSM 7 using the 918+ profile? If so what card, and thank you. CD

I have tried that, installed one new 4tb Red drive. No other drives installed tried to do a bare metal install with 6.0 and 6.0.2 with no luck. Also tested with the old bootloader for 5.2 and it worked like a charm. Thank you for reaching out and trying to help.

I have a N40L that works fine with the 5.2 and the xpenano loader. But I try 1.01 or 1.02 with a 3615xs and it goes to Booting Kernal as always but I cannot find the server or mac on my dhcpd status/log or the Synology Assistant. I Have added my VID and PID and my correct mac as well as a generated serial. I have added the extra drivers pack as well. Is she just to old? I read others that can do it... I have tried with my intel nick with no avail. Thank you .....
