I added third hdd to xpenology 920+ 7.1 (J3455 baremetal) and it is not visible i system. What should i do?

Try to rebuild the loader. First make a full backup image of the usb flash.

I had issues with the NAS not being detected on my network. Managed to use an older version of ARPL it all went well. It got past the .pat load page where I encountered an issue with other loaders.

What hardware, and what older verion works?

Timon-H · August 18, 2023

I just Upgraded my NAS from a i3 12100 to a i7 13700k and now my Drives are no longer detected by the OS. In Bios i enabled hotplug and all drives are detected there. But if i boot the OS i cant get to the login, i just get a "no drives detected" warning where i can refresh.

Any idea how or why this is?

I tryed to rebuild the bootloader and there the Sata ports are green so it should work??

Iam very much confused

BLUF: I recently migrated my Proxmox Synology/Xpenology VM from DSM 6 to DSM 7 and it is working well. All Drives/Volumes are seen and operating. My storage is located on a Lenovo SA120 DAS; but the DAS is no longer appearing as an external enclosure in the DSM. I'm trying to figure out how to configure ARPL so that DSM sees the enclosure correctly.

System:

PVE Manager Version 7.4-16/0f39f621 | Kernel Version Linux 5.15.107-2-pve | DS3622xs+ DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 6

Background:

The Lenovo SA120 DAS's fans may be operated via a Python script (https://github.com/td147x/Synology-Lenovo-SA120-Fanspeed) and DSM "Scheduled tasks". Aside from modifying the Python script to see all of the drives (devices_to_check = ['/dev/sg*','/dev/ses*'] becomes devices_to_check = ['/dev/sg*']), the secret sauce to the script is sg_ses reporting the enclosure as ThinkServerSA120.

I installed Entware and sg3_utils. I verified all Modules are loaded via ARPL (including the Fusion MPT module).

Summary:

Help me please. Does anyone have an idea of how to have an external enclosure report as such to DSM 7? The script worked in DSM 6.

Well, upon further investigation the enclosure is being reported. I'll need to work on the script.

The script uses sg_ses -p

Solved. My posts feel like SPAM now. I'll wrap up the corrected script and instructions, upload to GitHub, and paste a link in a new post. Hopefully this will help anyone using DSM7 with a Lenovo LS120 DAS.

Dear Moderator. Feel free to delete these three posts and I will repost a solution.

Thanks

Something just broke ig. Since i updated the Bios (for the new CPU gen) i lost the Option to pick between AHCI and RAID in the Sata config menu. I now tryed the oldest Bios version that still supports the 13700k, still no AHCI setting. Maybe i should just buy a PCIe to Sata port card.... Do you guys have a recommendation for a 4-8Port card?

Maybe the SATA controller options are renamed like “Intel Optane mode” ?

Does AHCI mode reappear when you put back the i3 12th Gen ?

Otherwise, if I remember correctly, ASmedia chipset based SATA 3.0 cards were supported a bit better than Marvel ones, but this was for DSM6 and Jun’s loader. Generally, beware of the PCI-E port Gen and width, because for example a cheap PCI express Gen 3.0 on a x2 port could be a bottleneck (connector bandwidth is 8x2 lines=16 GT/s —> 1970MB/s) if having more than 4 SATA 3.0 ports, it’s been saturated under full load (example with 4 very good SSD bursting at 585MB/s —> 4x585=2340MB/s) so if you see a model with 8 ports, expect poor performance on the RAID array or forget it and choose a better model designed to fit on x4, x8 or x16 connector, or a more recent PCI-Express Gen as bandwidth is almost doubled at each revision (of course CPU and motherboard need to be recent to support the latest revision, but prices should be insane… 😉)

I searched the UEFI again. in the drive list section i can see AHCI Mode. I cant change that but dont need to. i guess the Uefi Settings are fine..

So why then is the OS not picking up drives. I cant even login. The webui instantly says no drives detected... I only changed CPU and updated the BIOS wtf??
Iam thinking of installing the i3 again and downgrading the Bios just to get it (hopefully) to work again.

Edit: I tryed now the i3 again. Same problem. Now iam going to install the oldest Bios i can find to check if that fixes it.

Timon-H · August 19, 2023

Now it's completely rip.

I installed the oldest bios and now the os doesn't boot at all.

I have tryed reformating the usb stick and loading the bootloader again. No success. It tryes to boot, everything looks like it's booting but the website doesn't show anything even after 20min of waiting.

Iam so done man. All my data is on those 4 drives and a simple CPU upgrade crashes the hole system. Yes I know I need a backup but I don't yet have one.. my friend wants a Nas then I can backup to his Nas but atm I don't yet have a good backup solution...

Iam now trying a different usb stick i guess.. I don't have any other idea

What is the behaviour when booting on something else ? (Live CD, Linux/Windows install boot USB ?)

I now tryed a Ubuntu Stick i have kicking around. Boots right up to desktop.

Its just something wrong with my Bootloader i guess.

Thats how i install ist:
1. burn arpl to Usb

2. Boot from usb

3. configure model (DS3622XS+)

4. configure Buildnumber (42962)

5. use Serialgen.

6. build loader

7. Boot loader.

8. try to load the webui (in my case 192.168.178.59:5000)

Nothing loads. Before i installed the old bios i would get some "please wait" and then the notification that no drives are detected. In bios all drives where detected tho. But now i get nothing..

What's your motherboard model ?

Network chipset ? (Realtek 8125B, Intel I219-V, I215-V, ...) ?
Did you tick the checkbox to load the corresponding driver when configuring the loader ?

Mainboard: Biostar b660GTN with Realtek RTL8125B Controller.

For me all Modules are pre selected. So all those drivers should be present.

I have the same behaviour with the same chipset on my MSI B460-I, seems no way to disable it, so no better when adding a Intel I350-T2 on the free PCI-E slot... Hoping good luck to you with this sh*t

The problem is, it worked. It worked for months just fine. But then i had to upgrade the CPU.... Now its RIP.. I hate it

Timon-H · August 19, 2023

I now got the connection back! I upgradet to the oldest bios that still supports the i7, switched in the i7, used an older version of the bootloader and now it boots! but still the "no drives found" problem.... can someone help me with that?

Ds3615xs is EOL with an old 3.x kernel.

Everyone should migrate to DS3622xs+.

I'm using a TerraMaster F5-221 that I previously had TrueNAS on. I believe it was v1.0-beta6.

@fbelavenuto, do you plan updates? Like your loader....

@wjz304, thank you for your magic.

@mar1boro fbelavenuto is currently "away" since some weeks/month now.

He must be busy in his life (wish the best).

As you already know, luckilly Wjz304 currently maintains the ARPL-i18n fork.

Rick4 · August 21, 2023

Hi all!

Tried ARPL loader, but finally went to an fork, named ARC loader, that frequently updated, and offers more extras, ame patch, online patch, powersched, and surveillance patch. But unfortunately, tied on more baremetal servers, if i patch surveillance, get 58 cams, but the desktop app begin freezing, stopping camera. All case finished same result, if i uninstall and reinstall surveillance station to nas, everything's works fine. What will be the solution?

Edited August 21, 2023 by Rick4
