Problem with satamap - how does it work?


Recommended Posts

Hi there!

Iam setting up a Xpenology NAS and have trouble with the satamap command. 

First my Hardware: 

i3-12100

Biostar B660GTN (ITX board with 4 Sata Ports) 

3x Crucial MX500 1TB SSDs

16GB RAM

 

I used THIS guide to install DSM7 but have some trouble with the satamap command. 

It looks like this:

 

Found "00:17.0 Intel Corporation Device 7ae2 (rev 11)"
Detected 8 ports/3 drives. Bad ports: 1 2 3 4. Override # of ports or ENTER to accept <8>

Computed settings:
SataPortMap=8
DiskIdxMap=00

WARNING: Bad ports are mapped. The DSM installation will fail!

 

I searched and found THIS post. So i tryed the "dmesg |grep sd" command and got my 3 SSDs and my USB stick:

 

[    0.690617] sd 4:0:0:0: [sda] 1953525168 512-byte logical blocks: (1.00 TB/932 GiB)
[    0.690731] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] 1953525168 512-byte logical blocks: (1.00 TB/932 GiB)
[    0.690839] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdc] 1953525168 512-byte logical blocks: (1.00 TB/932 GiB)

[    2.722473] sd 8:0:0:0: [sdd] 242614272 512-byte logical blocks: (124 GB/116 GiB)

 

So i tryed to put in: 

 

SataPortMap=41 (4= 4 Sata Ports - 1 = one USB stick)
DiskIdxMap=48 (4 because the first ssd is 4:0:0:0 - 8 because the usb stick is 8:0:0:0

 

But when i build the bootloader and restart the system i get some error (no drives found or something like that). 

 

Is my understanding of the satamap command wrong? What kind of settings should i use? 

 

Pls help

Thanks!

Hi,

Your chipset on your motherboard is an INTEL B660, It manages 4 sata ports (present on the motherboard).

 

Why map your USB port? Your usb stick is recognized by the VID and PID that you enter in user_config.json (./rploader.sh identifyusb)

 

Test :

SataPortMap=4

DiskIdxMap=00

 

For any help, read :

Thanks for your reply!

Sadly with SataPortMap=4 i get the same error.. 

I also tryed the linked Tutorial but with that i no longer find my NAS after building the bootloader. Used Plattform: DS3622xs+ used architecture:broadwellnk.

Bios configs :
 

- SATA -> AHCI

- C1E -> Disable

- Hot Plug -> Enable for all sata

My SATA configuartion menu only has:

 

Sata Controller ON/OFF -> set to  ON

SATA Mode Selectrion AHCI/Raid -> set to AHCI

SMART Self Test ON/OFF -> set to OFF

SATA Hot Plug ON/OFF -> set to ON

Hybrid Storage Detection and Configuration Mode OFF/Dynamic Config for hybrid storage enable -> set to off

 

C1E is some kind of Power State for the CPU? I looked into the CPU Power management and VRM settings but couldnt find a C1E setting.

EDIT: Found out that disabling "enhanced C-States" also disables the C1E C State. I tryed again to boot up the bootloader but this "no drives detected"..

Edit your user_config.json

 

"SataPortMap" : "4",
"DiskIdxMap" : "00",
"sata_remap" : "4\\>0:5\\>1:6\\>2:7\\>3" 

WARNING : If the last argument is not sata_remap add a ","

Still not working. i tryed setting it up clean. i typed those commands:

./rploader.sh identifyusb now

./rploader.sh satamap now

Then i edited the user_config.json with the values you send and safed it.

./rploader.sh serialgen DS3615xs

./rploader.sh backup now

./rploader.sh build bromolow-7.0.1-42218

Then i restartet and opend the IP Adress from the discstation. After some waiting the same "no Drives found" error.

Last test :

edit directly to grub, press "e" on start. After edit, press F10


 

"SataPortMap" : "3"
"DiskIdxMap" : "00"
"sata_remap" : "4\\>0:5\\>1:6\\>2" 

When i press "E" on startup i get some kind of config but there is no "SataPortMap" and stuff. See:

I haven't seen anyone successfully map over bad ports with Sata remap.  The rploader satamap is reporting your bad ports above by searching for DUMMY values in dmesg and reindexing the information to your controllers.

 

The B660 chipset appears to share silicon with the H670 which has 8 SATA ports.  Intel locks out the first 4 in your motherboard.

https://images.anandtech.com/doci/17162/2022_CES_Pre-Brief_Dec 15 Final-page-029.jpg

 

DSM won't install with ports that are electrically present and not functional (hence the DUMMY status).

 

See the tutorial troubleshooting section for some workaround options, although they aren't really good.

https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/62221-tutorial-installmigrate-to-dsm-7x-with-tinycore-redpill-tcrp-loader/

 

You will have the best results with one of the folllowing:

  1. Convert to a virtualized installation, connect the storage to the hypervisor and then attach the disks to a virtual SATA controller (RDM in ESXi, for example)
  2. Use a device tree platform (i.e. DS920+) which doesn't use SATAMAP.  There is some evidence that you can use a device tree configuration manually on any platform version, but this is incompletely tested.
  3. Disable your on-board SATA controller and add a PCIe SATA controller that doesn't have bad ports (this is probably least desirable with an ITX motherboard)

Oh.. Thats not nice..

I have tryed the DS920+ installation with the geminilake-7.1.0-42661 architecture. I left the satamap command just like the Turorial suggested. But i cannot get the webinterface to load with that. I even looked up the IP from the server via Router but nothing is loading... i dont have a serial port or adapter..

So PCIe to SATA it is? Any suggestion wich controller i should buy? i would love some M.2 to Sata to have the PCIex16 slot for something else..

If you feel like it, you can try this: edit your user_config.json, and build loader. Thanks to give feedback after test :-)

 

Custum pid/vid, sn, mac,...
Delete satamap and diskidxmap.

Add sata_remap
Custum internalportcfg and maxdisks

 

(we try to get out the dummy)

 

{
  "extra_cmdline": {
    "pid": "X",
    "vid": "X",
    "sn": "X",
    "mac1": "X",
    "sata_remap" : "4\\>0:5\\>1:6\\>2:7\\>3"
  },
  "synoinfo": {

          "internalportcfg" : "0xff",
          "maxdisks" : "4",
	      "support_bde_internal_10g" : "no",
	      "support_disk_compatibility" : "no",
          "support_memory_compatibility" : "no"


},
  "ramdisk_copy": {

    
}

Thanks for trying to help! 

I tried it, now I get a different error.

Error on the drives (1,2,3,4) and the sata ports got disabled. pls shutdown the system and use other drives..

Here a Screenshot from my config:

I don't know how to help you anymore. Sorry
 

@IG-88 may have another solution. Or another member...

If not, you can try another generator, it uses a different approach for identifying HDDs. I attached the topic for you.

 

OMG with that software i got it to work... sort of.

My Drives are now all there and i can upload the image from the Synology OS. But after 41-42% it gives me some error that the file is corrupted... I just downloaded it.. And yes i used the correct version...
