marimo Posted March 26, 2019 Share #1 Posted March 26, 2019 Hi I have been looking for a storage solution for some time, played around with Freenas for about a week, then a friend suggested why not try XPEnology. Which brings me here. Im not that technical im afraid so bare with me. My system is a collection of old parts. Processor : Intel i5 2500k Motherboard : Gigabyte P67A-UD7-B3(network card is onboard Marvell x2) Ram : 8 GB DDR3 add on card : DELL/LSI IT Mode 9207-8i SATA/SAS 6Gb/s PCI-E 3.0 Host Bus Adapter(recently purchased) And an odd collection of drives Segate 2 and 4 tb My install is baremeta using Juns loader ds3617_6.2 DSM : DSM_DS3617xs_23739 Im currently having problems with the DSM detecting drives from the add on sata card( LSI 9207-8i in IT mode). The drives do detect in its bios, but when coming into the DSM environment it does not show them. As a test bench I have an old 320 sata drive as a simple disk running off the onboard controller, which works fine for about 2 weeks now. There are a few other problems however I would like to fix this issue of the add on sata card first. Iv been reading and search for about a day now but cant seem to find any relevant information. Just that the 9207-8i is working in other peoples builds. But no information as to how they got it to work. Im sure there are drivers in the currently boot loader "synoboot_ds3617xs.1.03b". Iv come across many articles recommending the 9207-8i card. There are 8 sata ports on the motherboard onboard controller, and a further 8 ports on the 9207-8i. All help would be appreciated.

marimo Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share #2 Posted April 4, 2019 Hi guys ok so iv tried something different, I mounted and formatted 2 of the 8 4tb drives I had for the install in windows. No problems there. I then tried a fresh install(with another 2tb drive I had just formatted on the motherboards internal controller). But still the same thing no drives detected from the 9207-8i card I believe the card works, but I have a driver issue. Could anyone with a DELL/LSI IT Mode 9207-8i help me out. thanks.
