- Outcome of the update: SUCCESSFUL - DSM version prior update: DSM 6.2.1-23824 - Loader version and model: JUN'S LOADER v1.03b - DS3617xs - Using custom extra.lzma: Yes - Installation type: VMWare Workstation 15 - Aorus Z390 + i9-9900K + Mustang (LSI-2308-IT, Virtual Disks, no physical passthru) - Additional comments: 1.03b upgrade, using vmxnet3 in the vmx config, everything runs fine, 16 cores, 10Gbe.

Much appreciated, I shall wait for the release for 3615 then,

Thanks, but I think I shall rephrase, I checked that there are, but I don't think it will work on anything beyond 6.2? (Tried 6.2.1 and 6.2.2, both got reported OOOFs during dmesg, even tho they are using the same kernel), and to be exact, dmesg is as attached.

are there compiled vmxnet3 modules for DS3615xs / 1.03b? as I'm still on older hardware (xeon v2) and would like to use vmxnet3, thanks!

I don't think 1.04b supports your cpu (must be Haswell or later).

ConnectX2 and 3, Intel 82599es based cards (x520-da1/2) will be fine. HP NC523SFP does not work.

I got it to run on a R510 and with 1.03b loader, 6.2.23739 only (when updating to newer pat it will just not boot).

Same here. I had been a loyal xpenology user since Jun's contribution on DS3615/17xs' first DSM 6.x loader, and they worked beautifully in many different hardware I've had hands on, J1900, J3455, N3x00/4X00, i5/7 4xxxes, QNAP NAS, ESXi, Nehalem/Haswell servers (PowerEdge Rx10/20s, IBM x3650-M3s), Ryzen 1700x, even on my current 9900k, they all run really well. I am also very grateful for his contributions. Currently I have it running on my R510 with 12x8 TB SATA + 2x1TB Micron SSDs as raid1 cache, an intel x520-DA1 and it performs very well. I would also love to have it running on more than 8 cores as it would be a good kvm/qemu hypervisor as well, but for now, the R510 is running on 8 cores (the L5640 has 6c12t, so 4 vcores are sort of wasted)

Are the newer 1.03b and 1.04b loaders limited in terms of number of cores? I have different configurations (baremetal/hypervisors) that has >8 Cores but they will still show as 8.

good to know. I have a Connectx-3 or x520-DA1 that i can throw in to make it compatible with 1.03B, but are you running 6.2.1? DS3617xs? or DS3615xs?

Which particualr 1.03b are you using? because as I know the 1.03b loader doesn't work with the broadcom on the r510. Did you throw in an extra NIC for test?

Much appreciated, now I know I can get a 82599 to work on the new whitebox I am buildling! thanks!
