dlowe Posted May 8, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) Good day community. I have been using Xpenology for a while on the Jun DS3617xs 1.03b build on an old server. I got my hands on a "new" old server that has IT-Mode SAS and 24 disks. It is the Supermicro X9DRD-7LN4F-JBOD with 2 ivybridge e5-2970 v2. I can install the Jun DS3617xs 1.03b build on it but would like to use the Jun's 918+ loader because there seams to be more support on the forum for it, specifically extra.lzma files that are modified for 24 disks at the start. The issue I am running into is that I cannot get connected to the find.synology.com or find any IPs in the Synology Assistant after it boots up for the first time. I attached the grub.cfg below I modified. Would anyone in the community be able to assist me in trying to get further with this? I know, this server is overkill. I want to use it for the 24 disks and I have another newer server running ESXi but less storage. UPDATE Well, I found this and it looks like Ivybridge on 918+ isn't supported. Are there any ways to get it working with extra.lzma files? grub.cfg Edited May 8, 2020 by dlowe Found info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jensmander Posted May 8, 2020 Share #2 Posted May 8, 2020 Haswell CPUs and newer are needed for the 918+. Afaik there‘s no way to „fool“ the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyride Posted May 9, 2020 Share #3 Posted May 9, 2020 DS3615/3617 is a better choice for your intended system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlowe Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted May 9, 2020 Thanks @jensmander and @flyride. I installed DS3617 and messing around getting the 24 disks usable and some other specific settings set but it goes into recovery and I have to reinstall. If I can't get this stable I may give FreeNAS a shot and use my real DS1517+ Synology as backup for the data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
