1, install a brand new DSM 7.x with this instruction.

2, backup the data for my old DSM 6.x and shut it down

3, passthrough my LSI-9211-8i to new DSM 7.x and follow web interface to finish the migration.

 

 

I tried this. I'm able to get my new DSM 7.x install up. My drives don't show up when I passthrough my LSI2008. Any suggestions?

try re-run "/rploader.sh build broadwellnk-7.1.0-42661" the LSI2008 driver might not installed.

Thank you for the suggestion. I rebooted and rebuilt the loader. No change.

To be clear, this in ESXi 6.7

That's all I did and it works for me.

I face a similar problem however my setup is a bit different.
 

VM or BareMetal : BareMetal
Hardware (Motherboard/CPU) : MSI MPG Z390 / Intel 9900T

Storage-Controller: 2x LSI SAS 9211-8i (HBA in IT mode)
Hot Plug/Hot Swap Applied : Yes
Network Interface 1 : Intel i217v (e1000e Not working for me in xpenology)
Network Interface 2 : Intel X540-T2 (10 Gbit)
Network Interface 3 : Intel X540-T2 (10 Gbit)
version of rploader.sh : 0.8.3
Platform (DS3622xsp/DS918+/DS920+/DVA3221/DS1621+/DS3615xs/DS3617xs) : 3622xs+
Platform Version (6.2.4/7.0.1/7.1) : 7.1
Platform Revision (42218/42661/42661-U1) : 42661
GRUB Boot selection : USB
Current Status  : Boots to kernel

Both of my LSI SAS 9211 are recognised but I cant add more than 13 drives. As soon as I add the 14th drive to one of my SAS controllers another HDD/SDD isn't recognised any more.

I tried editing the user.conf according to this tutorial (this worked for me in DSM 6) but DSM7 keeps behaving weird.

What version of the loader and DSM?

You must make your changes in user_config.json in TinyCore.  It patches on each boot so if you edit DSM's files directly, they will be overwritten.

I use ESX7 with latest loader on DSM 7.1-42661

This did the trick for me: 

 

I'm all set!
