    @hoidoiI've got a Gen10 and just got a HP NC360T Dual NIC.  Looking to upgrade using1.03b - DS3615xs - 6.2.1-23824.

     

    For the life of me I can't find the MAC address for the new card in the Bios.  Can you advise how I find the MAC for the NC360T please so I can create a new book USB.

     

    Thanks for your help.

     

     

    There is a sticker on the back of the card with the mac adress (i think it is). If there is no such sticker on yours, check the DHCP Server in your Router. I sold my Gen10 and bought an DS-1019+ (due to performance issues an non working hw transcoding in plex), so feel free to take my mac adress (via pm), i will never use the nic again...

    ok.. I will test myself if performance improve on ds3615,

    I tested burst performance like this 

    
echo "0" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=1024 | md5sum
echo "1" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=1024 | md5sum

    on both test runs i get ~400 MB/s, i tried again after reboot with 1 in boost: still 403 MB/s.

    Maybe I have figured out how to make CPU burst working. I will make deeper test before post out.

     

    I have quit working with Loader 1.04b/DS918+ because of the really annoying performance and swiched back to 1.03b/DS3615xs. Now my geekbench results are 1921 / 3013 compared to poor 956 / 1396 before. Also copy speed to usb ist twice as fast. The last plus for DS918+, the NVMe Cache, didn't work, because my Samsung PM981 was not recognized by DSM (and also not on my Pentium G4400 test system). 

     

    @x01015918 i have spend some time with different bios settings and found no way to check if cpu boost is working at all.

    Is it properly detecting your cpu? 

    you have boost disabled in bios, not sure how amd calls it.

     

    AMD uses the following bios settings for CPU Boost:  "STAPM Boost" and "SMU System Configuration".

    For SMU i can choose 12W or 15W or auto, 15W is set, i try auto, STAMP ist set to enabled.

    Do you mind to perform a test whether CPU burst working or not? Cause my Gen10 X3216 CPU burst won't working by default.

    Here are the steps:

    1. Install docker

    2. Install and launch "davidsarkany/geekbench" in docker

    3. You can find result link in log

    If CPU burst working, you will get 1900+ in single-core test and 2900+ in multi-core test. Otherwise, you will likely get half the score.

    Nope, CPU burst is not working, i am getting only 956 / 1396. HW Transcoding is not working either (im getting an "SN format mismatch" error), copy to USB 3.0 runs only with 60+ MB/s instead of 130 MB/s, there is still a lot to do here...

    Loader 1.02A + Microserver Gen 8 > Error 13

    Posted

    I had a Error 13 issue with an Gen10. So maybe it's no solution für Gen8, but it is worth a try.
    My installation of DSM 6.2.1 failed with Loader 1.04b because i used the internal USB socket and had activated ehci & xhci handoff. So, even when Gen8 Machines don't have USB3 and xhci, you can try one of the external USB and deactivate ehci handoff.

    Did you flash your Marvell 88SE9230? I had many problems getting the card to work properly and stable.  After digging around I found you can flash the card using a Freedos USB bootstick.

     

    In the end I used below firmware in my Highpoint Rochet 640L. Flash was quick and easy and all my problems disappeared. No more crashing raid sets and disabled disks.

    Link: Digitus firmware

    Thread on marvell-9230

     

    Also I needed to edit GRUB to use onboard and PCIE controller and put the disks in the right order:  onboard (sda,sdb),  PCIE (sdc,sde,sdf,sdg)

    SataPortMap=24  and DiskIdxMap=0002 

     


     

    My HP Gen10 has an Onboard SE9230 and still a running warranty, so i am cautious flashing "non HP" firmware. Nethertheless, i checked the controller and my system already has a newer firmware revision. But... thanks to @reizhi i tried to boot from an external usb. With deactivated ehci & xhci handoff it worked and i could install 1.04b with 918+ and DSM 6.2.1 23824 U4. Sadly, my NVMe SSD still is not recognized by dsm.

    @reizhi Thanks! i try this evening with external usb. To be honest, i never thought about this... 

    @atlast I have an HP NC360T Dual NIC and also an Intel 1000 CT, sadly these cards doesn't change the Error 13 issue with 1.04b. But, after all, i could install DSM 6.2.1 with Loader 1.03b for DS3615xs.

    Hat einer von Euch vielleicht schon einmal den 1.04b Loader über die grub so bearbeitet, dass das log statt an COM1 direkt auf dem Bildschirm ausgegeben wird?
    Mein HP Microsorver Gen10 hat leider keinen COM-Port und ich würde zu gerne sehen, an welchem Punkt die Installation von DSM 6.2.1 scheitert und welche Treiber geladen werden.

     

    Im Synology Assistant wird der Fehler 13 angezeigt (und ja PIC/VID sind korrekt). Dass die Festplatte dort erkannt wird, bedeutet ja noch lange nicht, dass der Marvell 88SE9230 wirklich korrekt mit einem Treiber versehen wird. Ich habe zwar eine extra.lzma mit hier im Forum angebotenen Marvel Treibern kompiliert, jedoch scheint dies nicht so ganz geklappt zu haben, da die HP NC360T Netzwerkkarte dann nicht korrekt arbeitet und somit die ganze extra.lzma wohl am Arsch ist.

     

    Dies wäre eine alternative Frage: Kann jemand die extra.lzma aus dem Loader 1.04b für DS918+ mit einem zusätzlichen Treiber https://xpenology.com/forum/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=4057 versehen? Wie gesagt, ich hab's wohl vergeigt.

     

    Ich hab zwar ein lauffähiges System mit 1.03b/DS3615xs, aber leider wird dort meine NVMe-SSD nicht erkannt, daher der Versuch auf 918+ umzusatteln. Danke im Voraus für Ideen und Hilfe.

    N54L - upgrade from DSM 6.1.7 to 6.2.1?

    @sebelec do you have deactivated the internal nic? My dsm 6.2.1 did not show the internal (Not working) Broadcom interfaces, but counted them in the pic devices list. So, just an idea, when your grub contains only nic1 and one MAC, dsm could use this entry for the bad nic and have just no mojo (MAC ressources) for the additional HP NC360T.

    i had some free minutes too:

     

    HP Microserver Gen10, 1.03b DS3615xs DSM 6.2.1-23824 Update 4 & deactivated Broadcom internal NIC's & Intel 1000 CT Desktop Adapter:

    supports-eeprom-access: yes
    supports-register-dump: yes
    supports-priv-flags: no

    Next step will be activation of the internal Broadcom NIC's because the low profile bracket for the Intel NIC is MIA. I will post the putty outcome.

    @hoidoi Thanks for the update. 

    If/when you have the time, could you test your G10 server with 3615 with/without the intel CT nic, to verify if it is the nic's or syno model that is the problem?

    Thank you very much!

    HP Gen10 & DS3615xs 1.03b & Intel 1000 CT Desktop Adapter let me update to a working DSM 6.2.1.

    Appreciate the answer Flyride. Can you point me to where I would find the info within Synology please? Or is it not when running baremetal?

     

     

    You have to connect via putty to your nas (prior you have to activate ssh in "Terminal & SMNP"). When you are in terminal screen, after logon just enter "lspci" and a list of pci deviced is shown. Intel has the manufacutrer code 8086, so you can identify an Intel NIC.

    @flyride I checked the ID of my Intel 1000 CT an it is on the List: 10D3. I used it today on my Intel Test System and it worked directly without any stupid errors. So there was an issue with the following combination: HP Microserver Gen10 (X3216), Loader 1.03b for DS3617xs an DSM 6.2.1 with or without the dedicated Intel NIC. Thanks to @bearcat i made one more try with Loader 1.03b for DS3615xs and tadaa: The HP Death Star is fully operational with DSM 6.2.1. I still have to migrate my existing data from 3617xs, but this should work.

     

    To complete my list from here:  

     

    - Outcome of the installation/update: SUCCESSFUL

    - DSM version prior update: DSM 6.2-23739 Update 2

    - Loader version and model: JUN'S LOADER v1.03b - DS3615xs

    - Using custom extra.lzma: NO

    - Installation type: Baremetal - HP Microserver Gen10

    - Additional comments: Intel 1000 CT Desktop Adapter / Deactivated internal NIC's

    @hoidoi Thanks for the feedback, sorry to hear of your experience with that nic :sad: 

     The nic I have confirmed working in the N54L, was marketed with the SKU : EXPI9301CTBLK and according to the specsheet it's using a 82574L chipset. A friend of mine, who mistakenly was updating from 6.2 to 6.2.1 bought this on my recomendation, and installed it with no problem. The NAS is using Jun's 1.03b DS3615XS bootloader. What is you using?

     

    Good Morning bearcat, the nic i have is also an EXPI9301CTBLK. I use 6.2 with Jun's 1.03b DS3617xs. Its not such a great loss, i got this card from a colleague. The HP NC360T should arrive next week, so i will test further, but I have a rising suspicion that there is just some kind of wierd incompatibility between the Gen10 and 6.2.1.

     

    For now i am testing my whole collection of boot images (and the Intel 1000 CT) on an H110/Pentium G440.

    There you have your problem... :sad:

    That chipset seems to be unsupported in the newer versions of DSM.

    The link jargut posted, is partially correct, (for real Synology's) but there are other nic's supported by the current bootloaders, with or without the "extra.lmza"

    Most, but not all, Gigabit cards based on Intel chipsets works "out of the box" with DSM 6.2.1.

    I have personally experience with the singleport:  Intel Pro 1000CT PCIe Desktop and the dualport HP NC360T (none of them found on the link jargut provided)

    And you may find them for cheap on ebay :-)

    I known its not an N54L but today i tried Intel 1000 CT Desktop Adapter, but after the Upgrade to 6.2.1 on my Gen10 even this NIC did not work anymore. Do you known the SKU of your card? Found an NC360T on eBay. I give her a try.
