smileyworld Posted July 11, 2022 Share #1 Posted July 11, 2022 Is it possible to display expansion units (Synology DX1222) or pci-cards (intel X540-t2) in DSM7-TCRP like this? I am asking because it would be nice if I could see all my (22) drives and for example instantly know which drive I have to replace. For now it looks like this. My guess is, DSM only displays 12 drives in use because the DS3622xs+ has only 12 slots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadreel Posted July 12, 2022 Share #2 Posted July 12, 2022 Your are correct about the number of drives, it's displayed based on the model. In DSM 6 you could install as many drives you like and they were visible. Now they changed it based on the model. It does not matter though, even if you have a DS918+ which technically has 4 drives you can have maybe upto 16 drives. For the PCIE, I know for sure in order to have NVME cache you need to change a file and add the PCI addresses of your NVMEs. I do not know if you can do the same thing for any type of PCIE card. That will be very interesting. As for the expansion unit I never read a post about them, I do not know if you have an original expansion unit and an e-sata if you connect it will be visible... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smileyworld Posted July 12, 2022 Author Share #3 Posted July 12, 2022 Expansion unit No I do not have an original expansion unit. But it would be nice to be able to see the 10 remaining disks via expansion unit(s). PCIe cards Thanks for the hint. I will have a look and report back if I find anything interesting.

smileyworld Posted August 20 Author Share #4 Posted August 20 (edited) I have found a solution for this. Many thanks to @Peter Suh and wjz304. Example: You want to change the storage panel size from 2 to 4 bay. upload install.sh and storagepanel.sh to any folder on your NAS ssh to this folder ./install.sh RACK_4_Bay reboot If you want to update to another model ./stroragepanel.sh tower 8 bay reboot Possible arguments: RACK_0_Bay RACK_2_Bay RACK_4_Bay RACK_8_Bay RACK_10_Bay RACK_12_Bay RACK_12_Bay_2 RACK_16_Bay RACK_20_Bay RACK_24_Bay RACK_60_Bay TOWER_1_Bay TOWER_2_Bay TOWER_4_Bay TOWER_4_Bay_J TOWER_4_Bay_S TOWER_5_Bay TOWER_6_Bay TOWER_8_Bay TOWER_12_Bay -r Last argument is for restoring Edited August 20 by smileyworld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smileyworld Posted September 17 Author Share #6 Posted September 17 @Rayqusa As far as i know there are issues if you go for more than 22 drives. If i recall correctly @IG-88 answered your question in another thread. Try looking in existing threads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayqusa Posted September 22 Share #7 Posted September 22 yeah, but now they offer 60 rack, so I thing it has update from their side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smileyworld Posted September 26 Author Share #8 Posted September 26 It was possible to buy DS3622+ and extension unit and pair them before the 60 rack, but there were still problems with Xpenology. This needs to be tested more thoroughly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
