Hi guys,
I'm kind of confused about how sata ports are mapped in xpenology. So I installed dsm6.22 24922(918+) with jun's loader v1.04b modded with extra.lzma on my ESXI host. The weird thing is that one of my five(four 4T and one 8T) drives is missing if selecting baremetal option(first option) when the loader boot up. I did some research on how to modify the synoinfo.conf file under /etc.defaults and got no luck. The default parameters in that file was: internalportcfg="0xffff", esataportcfg="0x0", usbportcfg="0x30000", and maxdisks="16". The four drives that are recognized were from slot 17 to slot 20. I have no idea why they were there even though the maxdisks should sixteen.
My motherboard is a ASUS p9d mh/sas 10g-dual, which has 6 sata ports and 8 sas port under lsi2308 controller. My esxi host is installed on a ssd drive which is connected to the sata port labeled orange under the photo below, and all fives drives are connected to sas port labeled red. I passthrough the lsi2308 controller to the Xpenology.
