IG-88 Posted March 8, 2020 #3 Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) looks much better suited for xpenology then then original gen10, i wonder why its not named gen11, it has everything it need to get the new gen label for people who prefer pictures and text (you can study in the pace you like) there is a more or less 1:1 version of that video https://www.servethehome.com/hpe-proliant-microserver-gen10-plus-v-gen10-hardware-overview/ on 1st look if equipped with a G54xx CPU it would be able to use it for hardware transcoding but i guess price point will not be in favor of that model (and with just 4 drive slots, they should have made it 6) edit: looks like there is a version with G5420 and 8GB (without iLO5 card?) for ~500€ so its 150-200€ more expansive then the old Gen10 on closer look the iLO extension slot looks like a pcie 4x slot but it closer to the edge so to fit in a normal pcie 4x card one would have to remove the slot mounting from the card, hold it in place in other ways and the card would stand out a little at the back, but it looks like as 10G nic and a storage controller would be possible at the same time also the drives can be separately seen without any raid from esxi (it mode) so it will be good for xpenology without any additional controller Edited March 8, 2020 by IG-88 1 1 Quote
serverus Posted April 9, 2020 #4 Posted April 9, 2020 Total noob here, I am about to buy HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 Plus with Intel Pentium G5420 and also swap the RAM with ECC RAM KSM26ES8/8ME. Can xpenology be installed on this setup? Will everything work? Thanks! Quote

Can xpenology be installed on this setup? Will everything work? its pretty new, i have not seen one yet here but from the hardware it should be ok with loader 1.04b (918+), also G5400, i5-9400 are tested with hardware transcoding so i'd assume the G5420 will work too storage is standard intel (so its ahci) and nic is intel i350, we use recent intel drivers for the driver extension so it should work (and if not i will have a look) https://xpenology.com/forum/forum/83-faq-start-here/ https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/7973-tutorial-installmigrate-dsm-52-to-61x-juns-loader/ https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/21663-driver-extension-jun-103b104b-for-dsm622-for-3615xs-3617xs-918/ Quote
mysy Posted April 14, 2020 #6 Posted April 14, 2020 G10 Plus current price is too high for DIY nas. I guess price will be close to real DSM system. HPE sale hardware and service with MS/Linux Software , synology sale software function with hardware. Quote

MarcoH Posted April 30, 2020 #9 Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) Hi, Today I received the HP Proliant Gen10 + and started immediately. 🤪 First the BIOS and noted the MAC addresses. Then finished the preparation that I started yesterday. I only had to add the 4 MAC addresses of the NICs. to the grub.cfg I made 4 versions of the Synoboot. Based on 918+ 6.2.2 DSM with 1.04b loader 1. Original 2. Extra Drivers Syno 3. Extra Drivers Standard 4. Extra Drivers Recovery I started with the first and put it on the USB. Gen20 + started up, but the Synology Assistant couldn't find it. Then started a webbrowser and typed the URL find.synology.com. He found the DS918 + and asked if I wanted to install it. Didn't even have to point to the PAT file. Then he rebooted 2 times and he was ready. I am still impressed with how smooth it went. Continue testing in the coming days. Question. Is it correct that he reboots 2 times after installation? Otherwise the can be a problem with something that makes him crash and boot again P.s. I'm in love 😍 Edited April 30, 2020 by MarcoH typo 1 Quote

Is it correct that he reboots 2 times after installation? yes, 1st was to install the main version (6.2.2) and 2nd was for the latest update (u6) there is 6.2.3 already and if you update to this you will need a new extra/extra2 https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/28321-driver-extension-jun-104b-for-dsm623-for-918/ 1 Quote

Thru CLI? Can i find it on the forum? You reported that Synlogy pulled back the version so i wait. I also have to wait for to SSD Brackets Do you think hardware transcoding is possible? I miss the directory's /dev/dri. Or do i need your extra drivers? Mount USB while running is like this? 1) Enable SSH and ssh into your DiskStation 2) Become root ( sudo -i ) 3) Make a mount point ( mkdir -p /tmp/mountMe ) 4) cd into /dev ( cd /dev ) 5) mount synoboot2 to your mount point ( mount -t vfat synoboot2 /tmp/mountMe ) 6) Profit! Edited May 1, 2020 by MarcoH Adding steps for mount USB Quote
IG-88 Posted May 1, 2020 #14 Posted May 1, 2020 mine looks like this and make sure to unmount before installing mkdir -p /mnt/synoboot1 mkdir -p /mnt/synoboot2 echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/syno_install_flag mount /dev/synoboot1 /mnt/synoboot1 mount /dev/synoboot2 /mnt/synoboot2 13 minutes ago, MarcoH said: Do you think hardware transcoding is possible?

MarcoH Posted May 2, 2020 #15 Posted May 2, 2020 Changed to this one 0.8_std ds918+ - extra.lzma/extra2.lzma for loader 1.04b_mod ds918+ DSM 6.2.2 v0.8_stdhttp://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=00354004133254441591 SHA256: F611BCA5457A74AE65ABC4596F1D0E6B36A2749B16A827087D97C1CAF3FEA89A But still no /dev/driv 🤔 Transcoding (needs sn and mac from real syno hardware) I found this on the forum. I have a DS214+. Can i use that serial? Quote

I don’t know if that’s true but if not it would really be the best compact xpenology ever. Quote

sebg35 Posted June 4, 2020 #21 Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) Hello, I am about to replace my ds916+ with the xeon version of the Gen10 plus. I have some questions for Gen10 plus owners : Using SHR are you able to do software raid like synology DS, or synology use only hardware raid ? If not, i need to buy an aditionnal raid card ,right ? Are you able to create BRTFS volume ? or there are limitations ? If i want to migrate my DS916+ to the Gen10 plus, can i do a migrate when installing the xpenology OS and adding the 4 disks ? What is the best deal for you ? Add a raid card, install ESX and Xpenology under VM Install Xpenology I already have an ESXI that i backup using Active Backup on my DS916+. I am researching performance & availability. (Share, Moments, Active Backup & Plex) Best regards, Edited June 4, 2020 by sebg35 Quote
flyride Posted June 4, 2020 #22 Posted June 4, 2020 It is not best practice ever to use a RAID card with DSM. For best performance, features and data safety, always present raw disk to DSM. Quote
