I'm having a problem with my newly installed Xpenology NAS getting the SSD Cache setup.
Hardware Specs
CPU: 2 x Xeon E5620
Motherboard: SuperMicro X8DT3
RAM: 36GB DDR3 1333 ECC
Hard Drives: 4 x Seagate Barracuda 2TB
SSD Drives: 2 x Samsung 840 SSD 128GB
DSM Loader: 6.2 (Jun's)
The 4 Seagate drives were in a different bare metal chassis before that was running Jun's 6.1 v1.02b (DS3615xs). I moved the drives to the new bare metal machine and booted up the DSM 6.2 loader and performed a re-install preserving data. Everything is working great so far.
In my old setup I didn't have a cache drive because I didn't have the sATA ports available for it, but in the new machine I do. I installed two 128GB Samsung Evo 840 SSD's to onboard ports 1 & 2. The 4 drives are using the Broadcom 1068E 8-Port SAS Controller that's built into the motherboard. They appear as drives 9 thru 12 in DSM. The SSD's appear as drives 1 & 2 in DSM.
When using the SSD Cache Wizard I select Read / Write Cache, select my 2 SSD disks, select RAID 1 and when pressing Next on this stage of the Wizard I get an error "Connection failed. Please check your network settings." See attached screenshot. I also tried with just one drive, it doesn't ask for a RAID level obviously, but at the screen where you select the Cache SSD I press next and see the same error message displayed. No idea what I'm doing wrong.
