[Mellanox Infiniband (10GbE or 40GbE)]

Also, do you happen to have the infiniband zip file from trantor? If we atleast have that, we can do some work on recompiling.

 

I would like to do this for benefit of the whole Xpeno community.

 

Thanks,

Modules from 5.2 would not work on 6.1 because the kernel version is different. They need to be recompiled for 6.1. There is no other way around. @IG-88 did a tutorial on how to compile modules. See here >>> https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/7187-how-to-build-and-inject-missing-drivers-in-jun-loader-102a/

 

Polanskiman, thanks for the info.
 
On a side note, after this new forum upgrade a lot of google searches to the old FOrum links just go the main link.Its very very annoying and frustrating.
 
So for this I am looking for Mellanox, and the forum link in the OP's post points to an invalid forum link.Is there any way you can fix this? A lot of google search of the old crawls are just redirecting to the current forum home page.
 
I then have to manually search for that term, even then the TOPIC id dont match its a royal PITA. Thanks for any help on this.

[Mellanox Infiniband (10GbE or 40GbE)]

I recently started using N54L for Xpenology, had 5.2 on it before.

 

I am trying to experiment with Mellanox Infiniband cards and ordered dual port and single port (40 GbE and 10 GbE) however the links to trantor's modules /d rivers are no longer valid. his domain /website has expired.

 

I am requesting any community members here who can help me out,

 

I read this thread:

 

and trying to reach the OP as well.

Would 5.2 drivers work fine on 6.1?

 

Here is Trantor's post from that link:

DSM 5.2 and DSM 5.1 have different kernel.

 

I recompile the infiniband/mellanox drivers for DSM 5.2 (kernel 3.10.35)

 

https://download.xpenology.fr/drivers/i ... nd-5.2.zip

 

Enjoy

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and as a way back I will work on documenting my steps / installation so it can be re-used in the future without so much pain hopefully

 

If needed I am also willing to recompile the drivers with help / guidance from others.Conversant with Linux / Win / ESXI.

 

Thanks!

The other solution is to add driver of USB1.1 compatiblity in N54L.
During the 4.3 time, it was already necessary...
 

 

do you , or any one else knows how to add USB 1.1 UPS driver to N54L ? I am running Xpeno 6.1..

 

Thanks,

I just want to point out that this fix WORKS!:

I am more interested in knowing how we can use the existing USB (so many on-board) ports.Is this installing add in USB 3 card temporary?

 

Because I am using the PCI-e ports already for cards.

 

Thanks,

What errors? Having multiple partitions is normal and intended.

 

 

 

Why? He is on topic. He simply has an issue with the upgrade process.

 

i said so, because from experience if you create a thread for guide its advisable to ask issues / questions on a new thread. the reasoning behind this is so as not to make the tutorial thread 100's of pages long and sometimes some of those pages are actually important

 

if i had an issue, and I open a new thread there is also the thing the search tool will bring the thread directly (new one), if you go through an existing thread (tutorial one) and look for issues it becomes PITA.

 

maybe im wrong thats how I felt was right.

Your loader doesn't work with my HP microserver N54L with force mode

Can't find with synology assistant or find.synology.com

 

can you check if your NIC is active (Lights?) does it ping? via Router IP..it must have had an IP before, did you try PING?

 

I havent tried yet.

I tested it under ESXi and it worked flawlessly. The only thing that I must do after the update to the newest version is to copy the kernel modules.

would you care to elaborate your setup? are you doing bare metal ESXI and then Xpeno on a VM? how many NIC do you have quad or dual gig nic's?

 

I am planning to do DSM 6.0 + , mellanox SFP 10G, plus Intel 10 GbE nics' may be its over kill.

 

I have 16GB ram already on the micro server n54l

i test this loader with my n54l this weekend too  

 

wow good to see many other N54L owners here :)..

 

i think i got the n54l for around $200 USD so its cheaper than building a u-nas or other syno boxes and

when i try to create a virtual switch it says no network interface available 

how many NIC total you have in your system? ideally for ESXI you gotta have atleast 2+ nic's

 

for Management(preferably separte vlan / IP subnet) and then your VMs'' IP

 

why dont you get a QUAd pci-e NIC they are just like $30-40 bucks or cheaper if you hunt on ebay.

 

are you trying to pass thru the NIC?

Newbie alert..
Just setup on HP Microserver 1620, celeron, 10Gb ram, 16Tb as Raid5 (12Tb), with 256Gb SSD.. 

Installed XPEnoboot_DS3615xs_5.2-5644.5 and the DSM_DS3615xs_5644.. 
Everythig working fine for local access.. I cannot access via external internet (not too bothered about that).

 

However, when i try to download and install Jun's 1.01 or 1.02b installers to a USB stick (using Win32DiskImager) i get errors during the write.. And multipel partitions are created on the flash drive.. If I go back to XPEnoboot_DS3615xs_5.2-5644.5 then no errors and just the 1 partition..

 

I want to upgrade to latest possible DSM, but am i missing something?

would highly suggest you open a new thread about your issue.its easier for others to help that way.

 

Instead of this thread getting many pages long.

 

Also did you check your PVID etc? soemtimes bad memory stick can also cause issues, do you have spares to test?

[XPEnology on hp MicroServer Gen10]

Thanks ... so I'll go for a Gen8 with Xeon processor and ILO port ...

 

Actually going with Gen8 might be better two fold reason - you can upgrade the CPU plus the lack of ILO on the new Gen10 and not to mention its cheaper now (gen8)

[HP N54L - DSM 6.1 onwards]

Thanks, will try it out during this weekend and see how it goes.

 

So to recap I will load the load onto the USB just like installing it first time, and then come to my other PC and using find.synology.com or the Syno Assistant when it finds it just install right?

 

and of course before this I would need to do a force install Option #3 on the boot menu.

This correct?

[HP microserver Gen8 and hp-ams]

this thread is very useful, and should possibly be stickied for the script for HP=AMS for those who are using the micro server.

Im Running DSM on the bare metal. straight from a USB, Machine is a Lenovo think server TS140 with a Xeon Quad core. nothing fancy at all

 

all i want to do is run a VM ideally all over the built in NIC 

 

so your planning to run Xpenology provisioned as a VM?

 

Not sure if this is what your trying but if you are trying a IOMMU or Direct Pass thru ESXI (to your NAS xpenology VM) you need to make sure your hardware / motherboard supports that.

[Is SFP+ or SFP or 10GbE overkill for NAS?]

I have 10 GbE NIC's across my various machines (NAS, Desktops, Servers ) and  a 10 GbE switch.

 

Granted having some older macs and desktop still that have 1G, is there a real benefit of having such a setup?

 

Like when copying large movies (30-60GB plus) or lots of many files?

 

Just wondering.

Indeed it is possible you need the below loader (added drivers for hp microservers) and select Force install this will show the device on network then do the update/fresh install and select the DSM 15047 once it reboots select the top option (dont have to select amd option) and you should find your hp server is now on version 6.1 and fully working

 

Loader: Click Me

 

Known issues: sometimes after install the login page will not recognise your username/password

Solution: before update enable admin account with a password you can remember and login via that

Thank you! does this include mellanox driver and 10GbE intel drivers (Model: X540-T2 Dual 10GbE PCI E nic cards)

 

 

[HP N54L - DSM 6.1 onwards]

Hello,

 

I have an HP n54L installed DSM 6.0.1 Jun Loader, wondering if possible to upgrade to anything later than this?

 

Also how do I inject drivers into the system? Say I add 10 GbE or mellanox Infiniband connect x card etc...

 

Thank you all,
