    @hairyhobo It might be that I'm tired and sleepy after a long day at work, but I don't understand why you choose to install DSM 6.2.1, that is not supported, neither with the bootloader or the harrdware and use the 3617 ignore all what I said in my first reply. Maybe I'l "get it" tomorrow after some sleep.

    I have managed to mount the drives on a ubuntu install and everything is getting copied across to a external drive. 

    Once thats done my plan was to do a new install and wipe the drives, which bootloader, etc would you recommend for my  HP microserver (HP54L 2014)?

    errrr, well i dont know, i followed this video...

    and used the ones spec'd and it worked on a single HD.

    With the bit before, im not sure which pat file got uploaded, i think it was DSM_DS3615xs_23824.pat and ive pasted the wrong one in my previous post. It only would accept one of them, so i couldnt install any other.

    Ok, sounds like a network problem.. 

    What .pat file did you install just before that happened?

    So above is what happened to your question.

    Then i gave another bootloader a go v1.02b for dsm 6.1 (current), it has a note on it that its an alpha build. I have used DSM_DS3617xs_15152.pat and put the serial number in, etc and its installed it on to a drive i had.

    So, should i insert the drives with 5.0 or 5.2 (i cant remember) and see if it works? I need to migrate as they have data on i want to keep (or need to due to the backup going a bit wrong :( )??

    or do i need to try and recover the data and wipe the drives and start from scratch?

    I am pretty sure it would only let me install....
    DSM_DS3615xs_23824.pat

     

    I used the Jun's loader v1.02b DS3617xs with MBR partition, i didnt put a mac address in, serial number and the pid/vid as i did all that on the other loaders and nothing worked.
    Using the above loader works the first time, then it wont work when its tried installing so if i reboot it wont appear in synology assist.

    Disabling C1E worked, it did a install, put up 10mins for waiting, rebooted and NAS just went back in to hiding.

     

    I had a 5.x version running before with data on my HD's, so i am guessing they didnt like to migrate.

     

    I put my old bootable usb in to see what happen and it it booted to the install screen saying there was a problem and lets carry on.
    I've not carried on because i wasnt sure if my old boot-able usb would get messed up as it was a nanoboot for 5.x.

     

    Is there a way to get it out of the migration and go back to what i had?

     

    At the moment i am going to try this method and hope it all goes to plan...

    @hairyhobo Try the "safe route": 1.02b, 3615, DSM 6.1.x (using manual install of the .pat). Be aware of BIOS settings, like disable C1E.

    I put the 1.02b on a stick (i took it from below), it got to the screen "waiting to update and typing find.synology" and it just stayed on loading kerns and nothing happened.
     

    Do i need do disable C1E to make that work?

    Thanks Blue Max, that guide helped out massively.

     

    I have the boot loader on the usb stick, it loads up and the screen stops at the message "the screen will stop updating shortly...." , so i try to search for the synology with the synology assistant or find. but there is nothing to be found, what am i doing wrong??

     

    I have tried bootloader 1.02, 1.03 and 1.04 and i am running a  HP54L....

    Hello

     

    Has anyone managed to create the USB bootloader using a mac?

     

    Every time i try to mount the 1.03b boot .img file it says "no mountable file systems".

     

    Is 6.1.3 with the V1.03b stable on a HP microserver (HP54L 2014)??

     

    I dont have access to a PC so i am a little bit stuck at the mo.

     

    Thanks

     

     

    HDD Partition setup

    in Archives

    Posted

    Hello all

     

    I have two 2tb HDD's and two 3tb HDD's. I understand if I put them in my hp server with xpenology and use RAID1

    It will mean I have 4tb's in total. Is there anyway to partion the HDD's so I don't loose 2tbs but keep a raid 1 setup

    So it's spread across all HDD's (correct me if that's the wrong raid number) and I have a separate drive on the server for the spare 2tbs, if that makes sense??

     

    Thanks
