Thanks @jensmander and @flyride. I installed DS3617 and messing around getting the 24 disks usable and some other specific settings set but it goes into recovery and I have to reinstall. If I can't get this stable I may give FreeNAS a shot and use my real DS1517+ Synology as backup for the data.

Good day community. I have been using Xpenology for a while on the Jun DS3617xs 1.03b build on an old server. I got my hands on a "new" old server that has IT-Mode SAS and 24 disks. It is the Supermicro X9DRD-7LN4F-JBOD with 2 ivybridge e5-2970 v2. I can install the Jun DS3617xs 1.03b build on it but would like to use the Jun's 918+ loader because there seams to be more support on the forum for it, specifically extra.lzma files that are modified for 24 disks at the start. The issue I am running into is that I cannot get connected to the find.synology.com or find any IPs in the Synology Assistant after it boots up for the first time. I attached the grub.cfg below I modified. Would anyone in the community be able to assist me in trying to get further with this? I know, this server is overkill. I want to use it for the 24 disks and I have another newer server running ESXi but less storage. UPDATE Well, I found this and it looks like Ivybridge on 918+ isn't supported. Are there any ways to get it working with extra.lzma files? grub.cfg

Are there any tutorials for installing DS918+ to ESXi 6.7? I have seen a couple people successfully get it set up but I but not enough details on how it was done. Thanks,
