Ironwolf question

[phone guy]

I just noticed one of my redpill builds, which is in proxmox, ds3622xs+ 42661u1, has HBA pci passthrough, 8x 4tb ironwolf drives, storage manager sees the drives, reads model numbers correct, displays smart data which I am assuming is correct, but does not show the ironwolf health? My baremetal build on ds918 42661 (different setup) does show ironwolf health...? (pics below of the 2 systems)

 

 

However, on my baremetal build, again ironwolf 4tb drives but only 5x bay, I do see ironwolf health...

 

Is this an HBA thing? or the difference between the 3622 and 918?  I doubt its the update 1 blocking ironwolf health on the 3622?

I never noticed this until today.

RedPill will spoof SMART if necessary. For sure with virtual disks, and possibly with HBA drives.  You can check the kernel log or comparatively analyze the SMART output to be certain.

 

To make things more complicated, Synology added Ironwolf support for some models, and then removed it from all models from 2022 on (i.e. DS3622xs+) as they are trying to steer customers into their branded drives.

Hi,

This video answers your question which I believe is linked to the Synology drive compatibility policy (which changed again as of DSM 7.1). the 918 will not be impacted but the DS3622 and RS4022 builds people use will be.
