Update: Completely got away from Synology. Running Plexmediaserver on DL360 G6 through Ubuntu 18.04 no problems since this conversion. Updated my P410 smart array's and now running hardware raids. Good luck to everyone!

Thanks for the feed back. I am still learning and these links are great.

I am looking to install FS3600 or SA3600 .pat files. I am wondering if the will recognize all the CPU cores. I have 2 (Intel Xeon X5670 6-Core 2.93GHz 12MB LGA1366 with Hyper-threading) in this machine; HP Proliant DL360 G6, or should I just utilize the 12 cores and install a .pat file that will work for those? Which boot loader should i attempt? I am going to be using this as a gaming server. Thanks If you need more info on any and/or all of this idea. Please ask.

I was gonna mess around with that this weekend when i get some time. Thanks for the info!! Yes, you are correct, i would be under utilizing my cpu on the 360, I will turn off hyperthreadin on that one. I was just given facts on that cpu. I really need to stop misleading people, LOL. Just a bit overexcited i guess. In the spirit of things, never thought i would get this far. Thanks again for all the input folks.

The proliant had it's own mac address's for both NIC's which it kept and differed from the first NAS. I did fail to mention that the original/first NAS was built from an old laptop. (Sorry about that). I am new to alot of this type of Modding/Hacking. I only ask for curiosity and/or Constructive Criticism, seeing as though i am learning. I had been working on this for about 5 days on/off. I finally chose a loader and .pat file that was closer to my CPU Family aka : Xeon (Xeon 5530 4core hyper = 8core ). It worked. I have a dl360 g6 (2x X5670 CPU (6core hyper = 12core)24core)(https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/47920/intel-xeon-processor-x5670-12m-cache-2-93-ghz-6-40-gt-s-intel-qpi.html) I am going to try on this as well. I will update as soon as i have attempted this. LOL For you who might be wondering...WHY! Well first and for most, Cause I CAN!! and some of the software that has grown on me and i use daily but my first NAS is slowing due to running PLEX with about 4TB thus far of movies and about 25 family members that stream it. Speed is Needed! Ok, ADHD, enough rambling on n on n on n on..... .. .. . . . Whew Side note: I only use the synoboot.img from this loader (https://xpenology.club/downloads/ (ds3617xs 6.1 Jun’s Mod V1.02a2)) Any other questions, ask away, cause im sure my ADHD will certainly go WAYYYYYY off track!! 😵😎

FYI: I had to disconnect my other DSM's before this would work!

Listed below are the files that i used. If you have any questions, Please ask. Thanks and Happy Hacking!! ;) https://archive.synology.com/download/DSM/release/6.1.1/15101/ (DSM_DS3617xs_15101.pat) https://xpenology.club/downloads/ (ds3617xs 6.1 Jun’s Mod V1.02a2)
