    really? read/count again, my suggestion was 24 drives - bcause higher number might be trouble when it comes to raid, 24 is safe

     

    you forgot the video you linked above,that was mentioned, you can still peel off the usb (reversable) and use the sata drive

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adh34zyG9Hs

     

    might be normal when usb drives are just counted in the row how they are found, we also see this with the lsi sas controller drivers with sata drives

    that migh get a bigger problem when booting up with more then the two usb drives made internal

    the meant to be external usb might and up as 21 and push the other "internal" drives one up each and if you just defined 21 and 22 as internal it will push one of the internals to a external position

    you would need to test what happens when one ore more usb drives are added when the system is running and what happens when you boot with the drives connected, also you would need this with all 12 other usb positions - lots of work and if's

    much easier and safer to get the sata drives out of the usb cases

     

     

     


    Ok i'll try to test  all what u said ...So far i have another Problem the DSM  won't Turn off or Restart no matter if  I use Putty or do it from DSM ....The ping is Gone can't see the DSM   after shutdown BUT the PC is still Turned on ....If i unplug the PC from Power will this Damage my HDD ?! 

    I tried to Boot  with  one USB on ...I waited for  700 Sequence ping it didn t give me an IP  so i had to  restart and turn it on again ..I received a Ping after 300 Sequence Ping 

    I know SHR  can't  be build on more than 24 Disks...But i can create 2 SHR and make Clone Volumes as Backup ....I found this Option at a Software called Hyper Backup  I haven t done it yet but  i saw the option there 


    One thing u need to  take into consideration  the DSM is installed on Volume 2  and  nothing is done on that Volume except  Virtual Machines.


    My next  Test would be to  find a way to dedicate  2 ports as USBcfg   while everything Else as Internal cfg   
    I am using 6.2-23739 
    If you have any other  stuff you would  like me to test  let me know before i update the DSM to a newer Version maybe this will fix the Shutdown/Restart  Error i have

    USB Ports to work as ESata ONLY

    I have  added  45 HDD Succesfully as u told me  I set all Ports as Intyernalcfg, no sata no usb Ports 
    I have 14 USB ports  I inserted  2  USB  3.0 as testing 


    1-I Managed to Make the 1TB External USB as  a SHR  by itself  I managed to create a Volume and a shared Folder Succesfully it works as  a Normal Internal HDD however i can t Read  Smart 

     

    2- after finishing with the 1TB i inserted along with it another USB  238GB  3.0 USB my plan was to heck the number of  Ports the DSM reads  
    I kept the 1TB plugged in  (it was Disk number 21) 
    The problem is no matter in what other port i plugged the 238GB USB  it keeps reading it as   disk number 22. 

    My plan is to try setting only two ports as Internal while the rest  are USBcfg 
    IF that works i will post it again so everyone can learn

    Trying to Put Xpenology online through DDNS and Domain

    in The Noob Lounge

    Posted

    i used Noip ... I registered something there  called 
    anthonn12.ddns.net  
    and i registered that in the  Tp link Router as it shows in the Picture Log in Success in the Router Page 
    then i went into External into DSM   and  added  the same DDNS  and it shows "Green" Normal Which means the NOip  account is  logged in ....
    Then i went into Setting up the Router  and setting the  port  (i let DSM Do that job in the Next tab ) as shown in the Picture it  shows Fail  However  the ports were Added  in the Router  check the Pic above .... It uses UPNP  ......
    If i disable UPNP  how  to set up   the ports manually?! 
    I am uploading what the  Router shows me can u walk me through it ?! 

    after Setting these ports  is there any other Setting i need to change in DSM? 
    and how do i set up the Domain  in "Godaddy"?! 
    And what would be the  Link to enter the  DSM after Everything is done?! 
    Thank you!

    USB Ports to work as ESata ONLY

    in Software Modding

    Posted

    I have 4 internal ports  and  a pcie to Sata (has 6 ports)  4 of them are  used while 2 other disks  are plugged in sata ports  which is in the board 
    and i have  a Pcie to 3.0 USB Ports (4* 3.0 ports)  i had to buy this cz all the  build it ports won't work in all DSM  Versions, they do detect the USB  when connected but in 4 secs or so they eject the USB  by itself  ( i tries with NTFS,Ext4,Ext,Fat32 ......) same for all 

    Anw  i have no HDD anymore I simply  have a 256GB USB 3.0 i intend to use it  as  internal HDD  to extend the Virtual Machine BTrfs Volume 
    Please check this video and give me your opinion:

    Thank you for replying .....My point is to  dedicate 2 usb ports to work as Esata or Internal HDD    so i can add them to the raid  for my  volume 2   cz it s a virtual machine volume  so if i put any usb in these 3.0  two ports  the DSM will detect them as  Internal HDD ... however the rest of the ports DSM will detect them as normal USB

    I ve been struggling with this for the last 1 year i bought a Domain  and the subscription is Over ! 
    can u  just  mention any sort of Router   with Pics and  steps to make this Work ... Buying a router is more cheaper than buying a Domain ....
    and ur steps here are useless I have tried them nothing new and my DSM still Fails   when i test the Port ....Yet the Ports are Shown in Routers Page as UPNP ! 
    What s going on here ?! 

    USB Ports to work as ESata ONLY

    in Software Modding

    Posted · Edited by aTm10452

    Hello, I am using Xpenology DSM3615XS 6.2-23739  Legacy Mode.
    My Plan is to Dedicate 2 USB Ports  for ESATA  Only, cz i Intend to Usb my  256 GB 3.0 USB as ESATA HDD for my Virtual Machine  Volume which is running out of Space as shown in the Picture Below.
    Things u need to know  i have a problem on my machine i tested so many DSM version and  on all Ports all USB will be ejected after 5 secs,However in Virtual  Machine the Usb  ports work great.
    I am using  X79-ZD3 Motherboard from Aliexpress with a CPU Intel Xeon E5 2620-V2  16 GB DDR3 REG-ECC  with 14 USB ports All in All 
    For Some Reason this Board works on two  DSM Versions ONLY  
    1-DSM3615XS  15047 UEFI 
    2-DSM3615XS  23739 Legacy 

    I watched this Video : I tried to Understand his Logic ...But i end up with All Ports as  ESATA  or  I need to use all USB ports  whihc are Preconfigured then  it will start detecting the new USB i added as  ESATA.

    If  someone can Help me My plan is  to  make 
    a)12  internal HDD 
    b)2 Esata
    c)12 USB ports 
     

    If there s a way to know which are the 3.0 usb Ports so i can chose 2 of them as Esata 
    and if it's better to set the USB ports as Internal HDD it would be better, since i can add it to the Volume 2
    Thank you in advance.

    Recreate USB BootLoader

    in The Noob Lounge

    Posted

    the bootloader .so is easy u can download it again  from any  website ....
    however you have 2 options:
    1-if you have the PID-VID  of ur usb,the Serial number of your existing synology and the macaddress ..... it s easy u can adjust the file and it should work perfectly ......
    (Assuming the loader u downloader match the DSM Version  on your Synology nas) 
    If the Bootloader usb  doesn t match  u can siply get a new HDD and install a new Synology and use the same DSM version  so  ur usb  stick would have updated and changed the file in it ... and then u can get rid of that new HDD and  put back ur old Synology and load it as if nothing happens ......

    2-If you don t have the serial number and the mac adress u need to  still do  step 1 first and  get the same version of your old synology nas and now u will install  a new synology when it prompts u u simply tell it to Merge  with old synology ... ur files won t be deleted but most likely u will  have a new Synology System  

    3- the worst case if u don t have anything and u don t know anything about ur old synology all u have to do is go to this :

    and check what  is the highest possible DSM you can install and install a new Synology on your drives and do the  same as u did in step 2 by MERGING  option which will appear to u ... and u will NOT  lose your volumes

    I was able to confirm your results.

     

    I built 6.2 in a VMWare machine on a host that had two 8 core / hyperthreaded procs. (32 allocatable cores to virtual machines, as it was 32 total threads)

     

    I was able to get VMM running in that DSM VM, create a machine, and i was able to allocate more than 8 cores to the VM.

     

    My assumption is that that will translate the same if DSM was running bare metal, and a 6 or 8 core proc isn't a waste.

     

    Appreciate the response, and help!

     

     

    How did u do that?! 
    I have intel Xeon E5-2620 V2 
    6 cores  and 12 Threads ....Do u know how to set all cores  working on a virtual Machine ... as far as i know th emaximum allowed number of threads can be picked is 8. 
    Thank you in advance.
