I've not used DSM before, but it looked like an interesting option for a new home/small business NAS I need to build.
I just installed DSM 6.2.2/DS3615 onto a HP Microserver N54L, using Jun's loader 1.03b. The system has two disks currently in RAID1. I fitted an HP NC365T 4-port card prior to the installation. This was all quite straightforward.
However, I find that after installation, the installation USB drive must remain present, for the system to start up ?
This is no good at all, as a fundamental requirement for the system is that there should be no storage devices that are single points of failure.
I had assumed, that DSM would install each hard disk with a working boot environment, so the system could be started up in the event that any one disk failed. Is this not the case ?
If this is a design limitation with Xpenology, or if it can be fixed, I'd like to know ASAP...
