DSM 6.2.3 DS3617xs Beyond 12 Drive

[SDK665]

Hello everyone.

 

Anyone knows what the values of these fields are if I want to change the DSM to 24-Drive ?

I am having some problem with my SAS2008-IT seeing all 12 of my drives.

It only sees 10 of the 12 drives.

 

I watched this vid: but still don't know what value to put for the 16/24 drives.

 

 

These are the values I am looking for.

 

16-Drive

maxdisks="16"

esataportcfg="---"

usbportcfg="---"

internalportcfg="---"

 

24-Drive 

maxdisks="24"

esataportcfg="---"

usbportcfg="---"

internalportcfg="---"

 

Thank you in advance

16-Drive

maxdisks="16"

esataportcfg="0x0"

usbportcfg="0xf0000"

internalportcfg="0xffff"

 

24-Drive 

maxdisks="24"

esataportcfg="0x0"

usbportcfg="0xf000000"

internalportcfg="0xffffff"

 

no e-sata ports, 4 usb

btw. if your cpu is at least haswell then you could use 918+, that has a default of 16 in the loader and the loader can be easily modded to support 24, that way it cant "break" on updates as its checked/patched on every boot process

I'm kind of having the same issue. I'm trying to get my DSM 6 build to do 36 drives and watched the video and did the binary to hex conversion and on reboot it doesn't boot back into DSM. When I use the Synology Assistant it comes up as migratable. i'm using the following;

 

usbportcfg        0x300000000000

esataportcfg    0xFF000000000

internalportcfg    0xFFFFFFFFF

 

Now i'm using the DS3617xs version but I wouldn't think that would make a difference would it?
