Gen 8 Microserver

[siri_uk]

Hi guys

I'm currently running ARPL(i18n) DSM 7.2, CPU is 7th gen i5, 16gb ram on a msi gaming board. The tower that the components are in is quite large and I wanted to downsize to save some space. I have seen a HP GEN 8 Microserver, xeon 1240v2, 16gb ram. Would the microserver run 7.2 with arpl? The current model on the bootloader is 918+, I was looking at running 3622 as the model.

 

Many thanks

Latest tinycore with dsm 7.2 ds3622xs works with no issues on microserver gen7, gen8, gen10 and gen10 plus, I have tested those myself.

How?

I can't get anything past a fairly old TCRP version working on my Microserver Gen10. It just doesn't detect any disks connected to the Marvell controller.

Just use below steps with latest loader version

 

./rploader.sh update now

./rploader.sh fullupgrade now

./rploader.sh serialgen DS3622xs+

./rploader.sh identifyusb now

./rploader.sh satamap now - pay attention, here you need to answer "yes" twice

./rploader.sh build ds3622xsp-7.2.0-64570

[s3urat]

I did just that. It correctly detects 1 port and 1 disk on the first controller (HP? the one meant for the DVD drive), and 8 ports and no disks on the Marvell controller. Weird.

How is your controller setup in bios ? AHCI Mode ?

[s3urat]

Yep, it's in AHCI mode. I also have the boot mode configured to legacy (BIOS), FWIW.

[djvas335]

Can you post your user_config.json after loader build ?

[s3urat]

So, the output of ./rploader.sh satamap now:

 

tc@box:~$ ./rploader.sh satamap now

Found "00:11.0 Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] FCH SATA Controller [AHCI mode] (rev 49)"
Detected 1 ports/1 drives. Override # of ports or ENTER to accept <1>

Found "01:00.0 Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE9230 PCIe SATA 6Gb/s Controller (rev 11)"
Detected 8 ports/0 drives. Override # of ports or ENTER to accept <8>

Computed settings:
SataPortMap=18
DiskIdxMap=0001

Should i update the user_config.json with these values ? [Yy/Nn] y
Done.
tc@box:~$

 

The user_config.json after the build:

 

tc@box:~$ cat user_config.json

If I select, in GRUB, "RedPill DS3622xs+ 7.2.0-64570 (USB, Verbose)" I get stuck in a recovery loop - I can connect to the NAS, it offers to recover, reboots fairly quickly then back to step one.

If I select "Tiny Core Friend" then I get the "No drives detected in DS3622xs+" error.

[s3urat]

I've done some digging, since the same problem manifests in Ubuntu (both server and desktop).

 

My guess is that the problem/incompatibility is the same as this problem in Unraid. If I disable IOMMU in the BIOS or add amd_iommu=off to the Ubuntu GRUB config (amd_iommu=pt doesn't work!) the disks are detected just fine. Otherwise theyre not.

Then just leave iommu disabled and issue solved

Hello

 

I have the same problem, I have version 7.1.0-42661 installed and working, but when I try to install version 7.2.0-64570, once booted, it asks me to install the corresponding .pat, but when "finishing" it says that it detects that it has disks previous version and has to convert (not true, the installation is on a new disk), and repeats the cycle constantly.

I have followed all the steps indicated here, and they work for me with the previous version, but with 7.2 there is no way.

How can I know if I have iommu disabled in the BIOS? I don't know where that option is.

 

Thank you so much.
