syno406 Posted July 1, 2021 Share #1 Posted July 1, 2021 i have a 3615 setup now and want to go to 3617. will the new 3617 be able to detect the drives that currently have 3615 on and be migratable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted July 1, 2021 Share #2 Posted July 1, 2021 Don't know the answer to your question... but if it works I'd be curious to know what you gain? I'm in no way questioning your desire to make the change. I may go there myself. Perhaps showing as a 3617 gets access to more apps? I would guess though, that running DS3617 on the same rig (cpu and memory) would perform the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyride Posted July 2, 2021 Share #3 Posted July 2, 2021 Yes, it will migrate. It would be in your interest to do a test install to fully confirm that the NIC and controller are recognized, assuming the install is baremetal. @Badger the biggest practical difference between DS3615xs and DS3617xs is the ability for the latter to support 16 threads. All other XPe supported platforms are limited to 8 threads. For more than four hyperthreaded cores, DS3617xs is the only way to maximize use of the CPU. https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/13333-tutorialreference-6x-loaders-and-platforms/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syno406 Posted July 2, 2021 Author Share #4 Posted July 2, 2021 I have a new nic in order as I can’t seem to find it with my current nic. I am planning to put this on a vm of that makes a difference. Likely going to be with virtualbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syno406 Posted July 5, 2021 Author Share #5 Posted July 5, 2021 well got my new NIC card and sadly i still cant see anything on SA. is it possible my processor isnt supported @flyride? The processor is a Xeon Processor W-2225 I have 3 VM im testing with 3615,3617 and 918. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyride Posted July 5, 2021 Share #6 Posted July 5, 2021 (edited) It is unlikely that your processor is an issue, but you are probably the first person to document trying to run on that CPU. It's odd that many people really want to go on a different platform than is known to work, and then ask for troubleshooting help if it will work (new processors and NICs over stated working ones, VirtualBox over ESXi, etc). That said, if you are virtualizing, it doesn't matter what NIC you have unless it is unsupported by your hypervisor. What does matter is that your hypervisor presents a virtual network card that works with DSM. Edited July 5, 2021 by flyride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
