Hi guys - so I have good news: I got everything working once I abandoned the LSI 1068 in favour of a DELL perc H200 flashed to IT mode(spent all of 19£). An important remark maybe for those in testing/development that if I understand correctly the H200 and the DELL 6i/r (LSI 1068) use different drivers and the former workws while the latter did not. This may be due to some driver fault of some sort. It may be good to check it out to take into account for devlopment and maybe could highlight this to Jun if deemed necessary. I'll post my log at start up for completness any time soon.

No - I did not know it had mptsas I can try to revert back to it. Should I try to do so? would it have an effect in this scenario? However I actually waited a lot longer (like 20 minutes) and it managed to load the driver (mptsas) but still does no ìt manage to load the LSI controller The console out put is the following.

So I have managed sussefully to configure the serial communication and I find the process hangs here: :: Loading module megaraid_mm ... [ OK ] :: Loading module megaraid_mbox ... [ OK ] :: Loading module megaraid ... [ OK ] :: Loading module scsi_transport_spi ... [ OK ] :: Loading module mptbase ... [ OK ] :: Loading module mptscsih ... [ OK ] :: Loading module mptspi ... [ OK ] :: Loading module mptsas So the "Loading module mptsas" is where things go wrong - I believe this is the driver for the LSI card (which works perfectly in other systems such as Gprte dor Ubunut or Debian). Has anyone had similar problems? G.

Thank you I'll keep you posted. I really am perplexed on how a controlelr can stop things to point of getting up to boot. IS this stuff kernel related?

Thanks any guide or tutorial for this?

Hi all, I have posted in the virtual environment section but I have made some progress and perhaps someone can shed light on a very strange thing that is occuring. I have an Esx 6.5 u1 installation and I am using a 1.02b boot loader, DSM 6.1x (using extra.lzma from Jun's post) I have a Dell SAS 6/iR card (flashed to 1068 in IT mode) with a sata rive of 1.8TB attached to it My issue is the following: When I do not enable passtrough of my 1068 card I am able to proceed to install DSM normally When I enable passtrough of my 1068 card I something goas profoundly wrong and I am not even able to see the DSM in find.synology.com or Synology assistant or get an IP. Is there any way I can try to debug this? It would be interesting to see what goes wrong trough some console or similar. Is there a way to do so? Any suggestions? Thank you in advance G.

Hi guys, noob here, I have been struggling to get my passtrought card working with xpenology on my configuration. I do not know how to proceed and maybe some of you could give some good advice. Here is my config: Dell T5500 CPU x5675 Esx 6.5 SAS card: DELL SAS 6/ir - which is an LSI rebranded (I flashed it to become an IT mode LSI 3081/1068) I'm looking to use the raid card in pass trough mode as this would be a safe option if my ESX machine fails I could some how move the disk either to a Synology box I have or another Xpenology. Is this possible and hence is my intution correct? Would RDM have the same effect in terms of "safety" to be able to migrate in case of disaster? I have a problem with the installation. I followed this guide which in turn lead to the attached config. Following, after I configure pass trought I get the message in that the disks are indeed reconised and I am queried to format them. The installation then proceeds and the restart I have to do by hand for some unknown reason at the time out of 10 minutes. After that the DS cannot see the disks and I am prompted to insert them before proceeding ... ? How is it possible that the disk are seen for formatting purposes and then are not seen anymore? Is there a solution of some sort? Thank to all in advance
