I'm trying to pass through the raw disk using RDM. It works initially, I can load DSM, but after a reboot the disks are 'not initialized' - it's like they are in non-persistent mode. Using WD Red 4TB + RDM + Physical Mode (It won't let me select virtual mapping) + Independent - Persistent. Anyone know why this would not be working?

Got this to work by using a SATA controller rather than a SCSI controller, I also had to boot xpenology using the default option rather than the vmware/esxi option.

pauldiaz Posted August 26, 2017 Share #3682 Posted August 26, 2017 how do i update v1.02b (DS3615xs, DS3617xs and DS916+) is for DSM 6.1 from DSM 6.0.2-8451 Update 8 i don't want to stuff up anything i still do the same thing as op said? but just put the same info what i did before do i let DSM 6.0.2-8451 Update 8 boot up on loader v1.02b ? and then install DSM 6.1.3-15152 main file once booted up On 10/28/2016 at 11:18 PM, Polanskiman said: You want to modify the following: Change vid=0x090C to vid=0x[your usb drive vid] Change pid=0x1000 to pid=0x[your usb drive pid] Change sn=C7LWN09761 to sn=generate your sn here with DS3615xs model Change mac1=0011322CA785 to mac1=[your NIC MAC address]. You can also add set mac2=[your NIC MAC address #2] and so on until mac4 if you have multiple NICs. However, this is not necessary. Optional: Change set timeout='1' to set timeout='4' - This will allow you more time to make a selection in the Grub Boot Menu when it appears.

However, once you enable passthrough the situation seems to change and the CPU is limited to the instructions it actually supports. It's like enabling passthrough punches a hole in the virtualization layer.... I'll investigate/prove this right or wrong when testing this with other PCI devices in passthrough mode instead of the current LSI SATA controller. So if anyone has tried using AMD on ESXi please let me know. My assumption is that it works well, but breaks horrible once you enable passthrough. I tested enabling passthrough on an AMD with ESXi 6.5 with the latest loader and DSM 6.1.3 and it still seems to work. I don't have a PCI SAS/SATA controller at the moment so passed through a pci video card instead - but I think that should satisfy the passthrough test. Now time to order a SAS/SATA controller; I'm thinking an LSI 9211-8i. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the 9201-16i myself and it's great once you know about the setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gubti Posted August 28, 2017 Share #3687 Posted August 28, 2017 Unfortunately im still on quicknicks version as al other combinations with Jun's loader versions and different extra.lzma files failed onmy System. Either my adaptec HBA 1000 16i or my onboard NIC Realtek 8111 (on Gigabyte Z170 Board) is not recognized. Can anyone recommend me a NIC Chipset, thats working for sure? Then i will buy a PCIe NIC and use that instead of the onboard for further experiments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually the quad nic E1000 but the dual nic works fine too. Basically any NIC with mainline linux support works out of the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holyangel Posted August 28, 2017 Share #3689 Posted August 28, 2017 Any way to get this bootloader to think its for the FS3017? The new flash station... I have some older poweredge servers (r610/710) with dual xeon's that would benefit from this, the current loader works fine but doesn't see all my cores much less the second cpu.

Balrog Posted August 28, 2017 Share #3690 Posted August 28, 2017 As I played around I found that even the 3615xs offers the new "F1 -Format" if it detects 3 SSDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holyangel Posted August 28, 2017 Share #3691 Posted August 28, 2017 The current loader *does* support the RAID F1 storage for SSD's, but I was looking more to get support for the second cpu and extra cores on my poweredge r610's+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balrog Posted August 29, 2017 Share #3692 Posted August 29, 2017 In your case I would try an installation via ESXi and fool the DSM to only have one CPU socket. On every installation I see DSM sees every cpu core from the first CPU socket. Only the information page from DSM shows only 2 cpu cores but I think this is hard coded. A proof with "cat /proc/cpuinfo" and an installation of "htop" via qnapware shows easily that every cpu core will be used.What do you want to do with such many cpu cores on a NAS?

rodastm Posted August 29, 2017 Share #3694 Posted August 29, 2017 Hello all. I am using a bare metal version and I have a problem. I have two external usb hard drives always connected to pc, to backup data. Everything works, but if I turn off the pc and turn on after two days, the dsm doesn't boot. I have disconnect the external hard drives and reset the pc. But if I turn off the PC today and after 5 hours turn on again, booting normaly. I already confirmed BIOS settings, and the only option to boot is the pen I'am using to boot DSM. Some one have ideia what can be? Thanks.

You need to configure your BIOS with the both external usb connected to the pc. In the boot priority of the USB you need to be sure that the USB boot is the first device. As you describe it seems like some external usb have more priority than your USB boot and that is the possible reason because not boot your NAS.

SpaunBoNe Posted August 30, 2017 Share #3697 Posted August 30, 2017 Hi! Installed DSM 6.1.3 on the Z9PE-D8 configuration with two E5-2670 processors. Used the loader V1.02B from ds3617xs. Using cat /proc/cpuinfo found out that he only sees 8 cores out of 16. Is it possible to train him to see both processors and all threads?

Well that's good at least, i hadn't thought to check /proc/cpuinfo. should've done that. Big reason for wanting a loader from the FS3017 which would support 2 physical cpu's is to take advantage of that syno virtual machine app. Could run quite a few if it would only see that second cpu. Its not a huge deal if its a hassle to make, just would be nifty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zubo100 Posted August 30, 2017 Share #3700 Posted August 30, 2017 Hi everyone, i upgraded from 5.2 to 6.1 yesterday, and I have a interessting issue with the shared folders. It seems that if I delete a shared folder using DSM 6.1 and the shared folder was created with DSM 5.2 the folder will still remain visible on any connected client (even new clients that were never before connected to the DSM) using smb / SAMBA. Its not directly related to the bootloader, but maybe as a little warning of what might happen If someone would like to check, or maybe has a solution, please, be my guest in the following topic: https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/7883-smb-samba-clients-showing-deleted-shared-folders/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
