    That's because the guide is pretty old and something must have gone wrong during the conversion to the new platform. In any case only the originator of the OP could update the OP and he hasn't been posting in the forum for many years. You can try reaching out to him see if he answers.

    Then again, maybe its posible to make a bootloader for SRM just like DSM

     

    It wouldnt surprise me that with few adjustments @jun is able to make his bootloader suitable.

     

    The pat files are also downloadable

    Looking for NAS options

    Looks like I am the first one to post here :-)

    I currently have a DS213+ which is full and I really need to update it, as it's not even an Intel processor in there.

     

    Requirements are:

    - Rackmountable

    - SFP+ / 10G

    - Enough RAM

     

    I've looked at the RS3617xs for now but I really dislike the old CPU they use and the amount of money they ask for. Additionally, I really would like to use ZFS on the NAS.

     

    That's my two cents,

    Robert

     

     

    Hi Robert,

     

    You can go baremetal with xpenology, so basicly you can use any hardware as long as the drivers are present. you can search the forum for the lists of supported hardware.

    i'm using a HP DL360 G7 (2cpu, 8cores, 16 threads and 44Gb ram) with a LSI SAS 9207-8i (SKU : LSI00302 | EAN : 0830343006892 ) and i'v bonded all 4 network interfaces into one.

    and this setup works perfect.

     

    as for the filesystem, any particular reason that you want to use ZFS? (BTW there is BTRFS support)

    its not about the array creation its simply that there is no working driver for hpsa controllers availible (for dsm 6.1 we tryed the kernel build in and the open source driver both did not work so no support for this controllers), if your network or storage controller has no driver in synologys dsm itself or in the extra.lzma that you load with jun's loader - no xpenology

    the safest way for prolonged working system is to use hardware that is supported in the original dsm from synology (kernel modules provided by synology), that way you are not depending on drivers jun or someone else has build

     

    this is a little bit true, but with the extra.lzma that you provided the hard drives where detected, but could not be formatted.

    This was due to the hardware raid controller (P410i) forcing to use a raid configuration.

     

    I've read up on the P410i and it turns out that other systems (FreeNAS filesystem ZFS) have had the same problems.

     

    anyway  i just replaced the controller with a supported one and i'm set to go now. :grin:

    i know what I did wrong, and it's a read facepalm.....

    anyway i got a little bit further, it seems my logical drive (smart array P410i) is not recognized. my guess would be that the drivers are not loaded, but is should be supported:

    I even added Polanskiman's Extra.lzma custom ramdisk , but still no luck as it doesn't contain hpsa.ko

     

    How do I enabled these drivers.

     

     

     

    The HP Smart Array P410i force you to create a raid array/primary partition, with this you will not be able to install XPEnology.

     

    I've replaced the HP smart array 410 controller with a  LSI SAS 9207-8i (SKU : LSI00302 | EAN : 0830343006892 )
     
    with this i'm able to access my drives now.

    I have made a new and update tutorial for install/upgrade DSM 5.2 to 6.1.3. The custom ramdisk linked in the tutorial is the one from @IG-88

     

     

    this one works, both the network cards and the SAS controller are recognized.

     

    but then i get the same error as @cseb 

    Quote

    error 35 : failed to format the disk.


    and this suggestion from @mckaycr doesn't work.

    I had a similar issue. I found that removing all drives except the one where the system partition uses during the setup wizard allowed the install to finish. Then once the system boots successful, add the additional drives and create your volumes. I can't tell you why this worked, but I saw this on three different servers I built, all different models.

    next step will be trying a differen hard drive, becuase right now i'm using the original 10k SAS drives.

     

    If all else fails i'll  replace the sas controller with on that support JBOD

    Hi everyone,

     

    I try to install DSM6 on HP Gen8 with SAS controler HP410

    I configure 2 logical drive. Each logical drive contain one physical disk (Raid 0)

    I have compiled hpsa.ko and add on to the extra.lzma. I have maked the Usb Key

     

    The server boot on the usb key... I have access to the wizard to install dsm I select the 2 disk but the install stop with error 35 : failed to format the disk.

    Could You help me to solve this problem ?

     

    Thanks

    Hi cseb,

     

    Could you share your extra.lzma with the hpsa.ko driver?

     

     

    I'm in need of the same drivers for my HP DL360 G7

     

    Thanks

    Hi Guys,

     

    This maybe a stupid question, but i want to try and install xpenology on a HP DL360 G7.

     

    Now i have installed Jun's loader 1.02a2 on usb and it boots from it, after the boot it says to find the machine through find.synology.com, but it's not found.

     

    What am I doing wrong?

     

    @jun would it be possible to show the IP's on the boot screen?

     

    FYI, the machine is powered on and connected to my network
