Thank you very much @flyride for his extremely well written article!! 💪👏

I will try your solution today on my second backup NAS, which runs as a VM under ESXi 7.0 (since yesterday 😀 ) on a HPE Microserver Gen8 (as DS3615 with 1.03b) and give some feedback.

So to make it clear. I will:
- install the Update 6.2.3 manually

- reboot DSM as part of the update process (as usal)

- afterwards I will see the loader as ESATA

- I will apply/install your script

- reboot again

=> and now the loader disappears as ESATA and everything is like before

Hi @Balrog

You got a working setup with DSM 6.2.3 on esxi 7.0, for mi only work with version DSM_DS3617xs_23739 if i upgrade to 6.2.3 it stops working the system don't boot anymore the system don't anywhere the pings etc. I use the Jun's Loader v1.03b DS3617xs.

On the Serial Port i see the follow output:

( afair the rc.modules is not replaced in boot)

i modified the rc.modules on the running system with vi and reboot it(the file are in the mentioned file and it can be loaded manually to but its the same):

but SR-IOV are still not available:

the driver should not be listed here?

admin@NAS:/$ lspci -k | grep 'Kernel driver'

Kernel driver in use: pcieport

i check the content of the extra file and the file is there but no at /usr/lib/modules/update Its possible that your extra/extra2 is not loading at boot?

maybe a error in my grub.cfg?

sudo insmod /usr/lib/modules/update/ixgbevf.ko

the file you mentioned is no there

November 15, 2020

ok i understand, but what i do was correctly? its the only steck i need to do? replace the i915.ko file

November 15, 2020

Hi @IG-88

How can i load it manually? and can i edit the rc.modules to load the driver automatically at boot?

Regards

November 15, 2020

Hi @IG-88

Its not a problem the NAS is not productive i can reinstall it from scratch, cont worry . I will integrate it after every think is working.

Please tell me what i should do to get your i915.ko working with the "extra918plus_v0.13.3".

if you look up your cpu

https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/199328/intel-core-i9-10900-processor-20m-cache-up-to-5-20-ghz.html

you can see its gpu device id, 0x9BC5

so you would need to copy the medded i915,ko file to your system to (hopefully) make it work (there was not that much feedback)

Hi @IG-88

After load the i915.ko and set the owner to root and permissions to 0644 same as original file and make a reboot the system don't boot anymore. At begin the boot loader show the info txt but 2-4 seconds later the screen goes blank and finish(the nas is not reachable from the network)

same as above but for the new driver in 6.2.3 Update2

Hi @IG-88

I load your moded Module to my running 6.3.2 Update 2 DSM but after this the system don't boot anymore, 2-3 after the boot loader info is showed the screen goes blank whithout a cursor or any thing and the nas is no reachable on the network.

in guess yes if you use my extra.lzma because it contains ixgbevf.ko and this should support it

Hi @IG-88

I copy the "extra.lzma/extra2.lzma for loader 1.04b ds918+ DSM 6.2.3 v0.13.3" to my boot Loader image but the SR-IOV are still not available

November 14, 2020

Hi @IG-88

For this setup the principal decision criteria was small and quiet, that's the reason because i buy a mITX. I already have a Laboratory setup of 3 Server in a ESXi Cluster. This Machine is only for Home und it should have the most performance be quiet, small, powerful but with hi energy efficiency(low consumption).

I have a question about your explanation about the Cores.

Wen HT is enabled the OS(in my case DSM 6.2.3) see 20 core but support and can control only 8 o the 20 cores?
wen HT is disables the os see only the 10 physical cores and only 8 of that 10 are usable?

Hi @flyride

I already try to use the DS3617xs but it dosent boot

Thank you for your help

November 13, 2020

Sumary of your explanation about CPU Power

You wrote that HT On increase the Power of a cpu to 10-15% x core but in my case this means that i will have (115% CPU Power / 20) * 8(because i can only support 8 Cores with the 918+ Right? Than i will only have 46% of the CPU Power

If i disable HT i lose the 10-15% increase of the CPU Power but los only 2 Cores of cause from 918+ > (100% CPU Power / 10(Cores) x 8)= 80% CPU Power used

Right?

November 13, 2020

Hi @IG-88

Than you a lot for your answers, at begin y buy the new HW to use it with ESXi and Xpenology as VM togheter with other VMs but after install ESXi i see that i can't use the Raid/SATA Controller in pic passthrough mode. Then i decide to install Xpenology on the bare metal that will be the reason of the oversizing of the HW.

What do you think should be the best solution to get the most power of the Hardware above?

Hi everyone

The NAS is Up and Running after the installation of a supported Network card "Intel X550-T2 (PCI Express 3.0)", thank you a lot.

I have some questions now.

Whats about the CPU Cores showed in the GUI and ssh terminal? I assume that the 8 Cores bellow are 2(threads) x 4 Physical Cores showed in the DSM Info tab. Are the other 6 Physical Cores unused?

grep -i --color "model name" /proc/cpuinfo

model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10900 CPU @ 2.80GHz

Is the support of SRV-IOV for the Network Card "Intel X550-T2 (PCI Express 3.0)" not available in Xpenology?

Whats about Transcoding Features of the CPU Intel Core i9-10900? Need some drivers, another module or extra/extra2.lzma? i found something about this here:

Hi people

I have a problem with my new Hardware, all 3 Version of the Juns boot loaders 1.04b(dsm918+) and 1.03b(DS3615/7xs) stops loading on "Screen will stop updating shortly" - Continue", after this message the keyword stops responding the only working button is press and hold power button or the reset button. I try all 3 versions of Juns Bootloader.

Her my HW:

Mainboard: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z490I-AORUS-ULTRA-rev-1x#kf

CPU: Intel Core i9-10900 (LGA 1200, 2.80GHz, 10-Core)

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX Black (2x, 32GB, DDR4-3200, DIMM 288)

NvMe: 2 x Samsung 970 EVO Plus (2000GB, M.2 2280)

HDD: 3 x Seagate IronWolf Pro(16Tb)

USB-Stick(Bootloader): Sandisk Ultra Fit 16Gb - SDCZ430-016G-G46

Some one can help?
