Please can you provide more details on how you did this? I thought LSI cards weren't supported yet. The LSI works with the latest loader, I have to disabled the onboard controller in order to recognized the 8 hd attached to it, before disabling the onboard controllers I was seen 6 HD and 2 as external, once I disabled the onboard and saw all 8 HD I was able to migrate. LSI 9211-81 Thanks for the response. Do you mind sharing what motherboard?

Updating on baremetal broke Backup & Replication for me. Deleting and trying to recreate a new backup task fails. Trying to restore from a backup also fails.

No, you have to buy PSU separately.

Some build pictures here using the same case

Do you mind grepping 500, 1701, 4500? Never mind, just noticed you're using PPTP.

Were you able to get you VPN working? Looks like i'm faced with the same issue. I even copied the exact settings from my bare metal Xpenology (5.2-5644.4) to my Synology DS1512+ and it work worked. They're both are on DSM 5.2-5644 Update 3.

One more thing I forgot to mention: When I first added my disks, the HBA was in IR mode because I forgot to flash it. I moved the HBA to a different computer for flashing and when I put it back into my NAS the drive order stayed the same. Can the backplanes in my build be part of the reason why the order holds? I'm curious to hear the experience of anyone else that used the NSC-800 for their build.

Not sure about what 2118it offers vs p20. I only flashed to it because it was the latest version. I think you should give it another go and create the disk group before creating the volume (I might have gotten lucky doing it that way). It's weird that your DSM instance didn't keep track because the actual order of the disks matters. In the Synology docs it specifically says that when migrating disks from one Synology NAS to another, the disks must be in the same exact order.

I'm not sure why that's the case for you. Did you put them in in order? Before I put my drives in I brought up the HDD/SSD page. After I added each disk I waited for each to initialize and show "Normal" status then i added the next one. I also created the disk group first before creating the volume but I don't know if it made a difference. I'm on DSM 5.2-5565 Update 2 using LSI 9211-8i flashed to 2118it. I've restarted multiple times with no issue. I even took screenshots to be sure.

I don't think you understand the issue. Your LSI card has 8 ports (port 0 to port 7), if put plug port 0 into slot 1, port 1 into slot 2, ... port 7 into slot 8. Put 1 drive in slot 1 and one in slot 8. Look in DSM and they will show as slot 1 and slot 2. It will fill the slots in DSM in order any drive is detected, regardless of their port #, or what physical slot they are actually plugged in. Everything I've read said this is the only way the LSI cards work. Also, everything I've tried supported this as well. I perfectly understood what was said, hence my explanation of the order I added my drives. Putting them in one after the other keeps them in order. I have an 8bay UNAS populated with 5 drives with no issues after adding one after the other from left to right.

I'm using the HBA only.

What version of 5.2?

I've restarted my system (with LSI 9211-8i) a few times but I don't have this issue. After installing DSM 5.2 (new baremetal) I put in the additional drives one after the order after each previous one was recognized.
