DSM 6.2 on DELL PowerEdge T30


Sonnyboy666

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I am very interested in the new DSM 6.2 loader by Jun.

I read the posts in the Developer section but i must admit that i am not a great linux specialist. So i am not undestanding erverything.

 

Just a simple question: Is it possible to run DSM 6.2 with Jun's new 1.03a2 loader , baremetal, on a DELL PowerEdge T30 with an Intel Xeon E3-1225 v5, 4x 3.30GHz?

LAN is an Intel i219.

Thank you for your suggestions.

Greetings,

Sonnyboy

just to show you how you can estimate it

 

Xeon E3-1225 v5 -> Skylake, reported to work (4th gen intel core aka Haswell seems min.)

 

i219 -> igb.ko

is igb.ko part of the loader?

yes it is already in dsm (rd.gz) itself and so its part of juns loader 1.03a2

 

Storage? -> specs of hardware from dell or 3rd party site -> 4 x AHCI -> ahci is nativ part of DSM/synology kernel

 

----> processor, nic and storage ok, so it should work

 

i also added your cpu to the supported list, if you successful tried video hardware acceleration transcoding (your cpu has quick sync video and might support it) write about it here,

I would be interested by the result of a videostation hardware transcoding test.

 

I personally get this behaviour with videostation and DSM 6.2 :

- without transcoding option, transcoding works fine

- with transcoding option, transcoding starts and works maybee 15 seconds. Then, DSM freezes and reboots.

I think this is an older model, so it will not work with the 918+ image. But you might try the DS3615xs/DS3617xs images.

It will not work on ds918+ But it works on DS3617 I have one running now, you must install a Intel nic for it to work since the

drivers for the stock nic don't work with loader 1.03b 6.2 untill we get a extra.lzma .

Answered this for myself. Yes, it works!

Hi,

 

can you please remind me the procedure to update the loader?

 

I have a Dell T20 (E3-1225v3 and Intel I217LM) running DSM 6.1.5-15254 with a lot of stuff on it and I would like to be as sure as possible :)

Thread back from the dead.  For reference 

 

  I just picked up an ebay Dell T30 with the same specs.   It will take 1.04b boot loader with  the 918+  6.2 - 24922.  

 

  The 3617 works with 1.02b and 6.1.7-15284 update 3.   

 

 

 I tried the newer DSM's fro the 3615 and 3617 with no luck.   

 

  Sorry to raise from the dead, but we are in quarantine.

in most cases its about csm/legacy, it needs csm mode in bios and to use the legacy usb boot device

1.03b/dsm6.2 does not support uefi

but 918+ might be a better choice anyway, should work and even the gpu should be usable for hardware transcoding (when its the same cpu as in the 1st post)

for transcoding (beside having /dev/dri after booting up)

I didn't know that about transcoding.  Thank you.  I would have been aggravated if I tried it and it was slow.  

 

   I am going to end up using the 918+ DSM now due to the information update.  

 

  I am getting older and don't want to play to get it to work.  I just want it to work.  

 

 

  I may play around with 1.03b in legacy mode to see if it takes the install.

 

  I am using a second Dell T30 with Hackintosh as my main rig.  Currently using it for Plex with a E3 1245 V5. 

 

  918+ with 1.04b seems to work with every machine I have tried it on.

UEFI changed to legacy and now it takes all variants (918, 3615 and 3617) and I updated to 24922 using the 3617.  

 

Thank you.  

 

  It has taken three days to copy movies over, so far.  30tb takes a while
