hi, any try to add more than 16HDD?

i successful install 3615 and add 17HDD - 1 on MB sata and 16 on LSI9201-16i

edit user_config.json

    "SataPortMap": "616",
    "DiskIdxMap": "0001"

          "internalportcfg" : "0x3FFFFFFFF",
          "maxdisks" : "36",

but USB HDDs connecting as internal

Hi, everyone.
I am trying to install DSM 7.1 on bare metal with the help of this guide:


But I seem to be stuck on this screen:

893549598_.thumb.png.595bb0556658da24151709770ab12c42.png
Don't really know what to do... I tried to figure out how to maybe fix it through the previous pages here, but without success
Motherboard model: asrock h91m-plus
The SATA controller supports up to 6 ports but the board has 4 ports and all ports are connected with HDDs
What to do?
And another question when I make a change in user_config.json I need to do build again to save it?

Try This. Build a loader with SataPortMap 1, install with only one hdd on port0, When you install build loader again with sataportmap 4 and connect other drives.

Thanks you guys. You are great.

I have decided to give DS918+ another try, or more like 10 tries to be correct.

 

I finally manged to install DS918 with "SataPortMap": "1" and only one disk inside. I made a fresh install on a cleaned drive and will move my data around and configure stuff later on.

Later I build a loader again with "SataPortMap": "4" and it boots now and detects other drives. I moved back the drive from DS920+ install with data on and it recovered the pool with no problems.

Still one drive to move from DS3615xs later but I belive it will go without problems.

Ok, I'll try but just to be sure what to do:
I do the build loader with SataPortMap 1 if it works then continue installing DSM with only one drive then after installation and everything works with one drive then to try to build again with SataPortMap 4? And if I build again then it will not ask me to install DSM again?

Exactly. If you manage to install it with one drive, when you build loader again again with sataportmap 4 it will still boot from 1st drive into DSM, but you will see other drives. Make sure the other data in user_config.json stay the same.

 

That's how I got it to work, hope you will to :)

Thank you!! I succeeded! Everything works, all disks are recognized.
I need to set sataportmap to 6 because this motherboard defines disks 0,1,4,5 so in DSM it shows me Disk 1, DIsk 2, Disk 5, Disk 6
But it doesn't matter to me because I still know who is what.

[Notice]

 

As TC is re-versioned, the method of copying and using modified dts files has changed a little.

 

The modified dts file need to copy it to this folder.

 

custom-module -> /mnt/sdb3/auxfiles

 

If you do that

 

./my.sh DS920+ manual

 

instead

 

./my.sh DS920+

 

It doesn't matter if you remove the manual like this.

 

The reason for using the original manual is to prevent automatic dts mapping in TC like that.

 

Now, if a file copied to a separate directory is found, dtc auto-mapping will stop automatically.

I think it's a new feature from version 0.7.0.8.
If I just copy the dts file, which is a text file,
I mistook it as a line that compiles and generates dtb with dtc.
The echo log says they found dts.
Can TC compile it to dtb if we just copy dts?
Wouldn't it be difficult for users to compile with dtc?

Are there any technical difficulties?

No it just gives you more control. I can of course add the dts conversion as well. Thanks for the recommendations

Hi guys,

 

I'm having NO luck with redpill on proxmox. I've tried a number of methods:

- qm importdisk the vmdk and assigning it to SATA0

- both the bios and uefi IMG files as virtual usb devices like in this post

- with and without the virtio modules

- different versions and models (ie 918+, DS3622xs+, 7.0.1, 7.1 etc)

 

The TinyCore Image Builder loads up fine. I can go through the update/generate process. Once I reboot out of TinyCore and attempt to load the appropriate RedPill option from the boot menu - it always panics in the exact same spot when loading ahci:

I believe the ahci controller at 0000:00:1f.2 is the default KVM sata controller which doesn't have an option to remove. I've tried attaching the loader to SATA0. Tried passing through 2 different types of physical AHCI controllers but it always panics here.

 

I had no troubles going through the process on ESXi on this exact same hardware, as well as baremetal on this same hardware.

 

Does anyone have any ideas what I might be missing?

I believe the ahci controller at 0000:00:1f.2 is the default KVM sata controller which doesn't have an option to remove. I've tried attaching the loader to SATA0. Tried passing through 2 different types of physical AHCI controllers but it always panics here.

 

I had no troubles going through the process on ESXi on this exact same hardware, as well as baremetal on this same hardware.

 

Does anyone have any ideas what I might be missing?

 

It looks to me like CPU emulation issue. Please follow @haydibeguide. You may find it in his signature.

For DS920+ and DS1621+, TC currently patches the DTS/DTSB for the USB port to which the loader image is connected.  However, the Syno hardware appears to have all physically accessible USB ports defined in the DTS.  Has anyone checked to see if their other USB ports are usable on installs of DS920+ and DS1621+?

 

I'm trying to determine if we need to actively patch all USB ports, not just the loader port (and if so, do we need device connected to each port, or can we just trace out the USB hubs and patch that way).

 

This could also be meaningful for both virtual and passthrough USB ports, not just baremetal.

 

Any practical observations are appreciated.

hi, any try to add more than 16HDD?

i successful install 3615 and add 17HDD - 1 on MB sata and 16 on LSI9201-16i

edit user_config.json

    "SataPortMap": "616",
    "DiskIdxMap": "0001"

          "internalportcfg" : "0x3FFFFFFFF",
          "maxdisks" : "36",

but USB HDDs connecting as internal

 

The "16" in 616 is invalid.  SataPortMap is only one digit with a maximum of "9"

 

This is not good for LSI9201-16i obviously.  However, SataPortMap = "1" should probably work for you to use 17 HDD. Specifically, if the last PCI controller (must be actually the highest PCI slot) has >9 ports, you can leave that entry on SataPortMap blank and it should use all the ports.

 

I would advise maxdisks of 24 instead of 36 (internalportcfg must be modified accordingly).

Which one is the "Last" and "Highest" ?  If there are 2, lets say doing lspci and they are listed as 01:00 and 02:00 which is last/highest? or 00:00 and 01:00 ?

(sorry, just trying to fully understand)

It must be the last controller listed in lspci (top to bottom).

616 received after command ./rploader.sh satamap now

Yes. satamap reported controllers with cards >9 ports incorrectly until very recently.

 

If you ./rploader.sh update now and repeat you will get a different result.

So do not add any sataportmap for the last listed pci sata controller and it should use all available ports. Good to have that confirmed. I did exactly that in a vm build using a HBA (8 port) adapter in proxmox. However the disk ordering started at 2, I could never get the disk ordering to start at 1, even though the hba card is the only available sata controller which is being pci pass thru.  It listed all the hdd but starting at 2 (not at 1)

Generally you should add a sataportmap entry for each controller.  The current TCRP code will recommend this.

The only case not to do so is the >9 port card as you have described.

This is dependent on a lot of factors, whether you are trying to use SATABOOT etc.  Script enhancement should help folks move their configurations to a more predictable space.  Testing across the various hypervisors is inconsistent, so there may be some work to do there.

If possible, you need to exchange the slots on these cards if you want to use all the ports on the 9201.  If one of them is embedded, look in BIOS to see if it can be assigned a different PCI slot.

 

Alternatively, you can build using DS1621+ and manually assign each of the slots using DTS/DTB.  This will be automated soon, but not yet.

9201-16i + 9240-8i in IT mode firmware

Based on what @flyride said, I would suggest switching pci slots with your 2 HBA cards, so the 16 port ends up at position 02:00 (where your 8 port card is now)

Is there a good guide or explanation on editing the DTS for 920/1621 ? I know I've seen it discussed before, but its now lost in 134 pages of this thread.
