[smart data suddenly not available]

 

Quote

 

 

I have this exact same problem as well on Jun's loader 1.02b, DSM 6.1.5-15254-Update 1, DS3617xs. I had issues still on earlier version as well, 15047.

 

I am running ESXI 6.5, a Dell H200 flashed to IT mode, passing the card thru to XPE as JBOD with the intention of having xpenology manage the RAID. The disks are detected and I can put data on it, and it does say "SMART Status Normal" nder Storage Manager > HDD/SSD, BUT when I click one of the active disks and click "Health info" I get the same prompt as above: "Not available" so I am not sure how reliable that SMART status is.

 

Did you find a fix or solution??

 

Thanks

So I solved my own problem FYI for anyone having the same issue:

 

Make sure the "synoboot.vmdk" is set to a "Virtual Device Node: SATA controller 0 / SATA (0:0)"

 

Once I did this the "Health Info" tab worked and now I also can see the "S.M.A.R.T Info" tab.

 

Teaches me for building my VMX from scratch

 

Glad you got it working! How did you change the Virtual Device Node from SCSI to SATA? Mine has SCSI in (0:0) and it won't work!

[ESXi: no hard disk spindown with DSM 6.x]

Finally I found a working combination:

• ESXi 6.5 Build 5969303
• DSM 6.1-15101 (till Update 4)
• Iso boot image that issues booting from USB stick (with Jun's 1.02)

 

 

Would the spin down not work if the boot image was on a VMDK off a datastore separate from the drives you were hoping to go to spin down? Or was the problem the DSM version? You are using the ISO version instead of the VMDK version, with esxi?

 

Thanks in advanced!

I ended up going to 3615 over 3617.  I also used your version 3.2 file.

Did you get the 3615 working on bare metal on the r710? Including the onboard NIC?

 

Thanks!
