As per the title everything went great during the red pill setup.

2 virtual hard drives for testing purposes, setup as SATA controller, and LSI Logic Parallel

It appears DSM doesn't like something, but it sees the hard drives.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

I have the same issue.

 

I wonder if this is related to the fact DSM now rejects disks not present in its "supported HDD's" database.

 

It creates the two internal RAID1 volumes, but fails before it creates volume1 on the rest of the disk.

Figured out the issue, in the end it was due the Size of the HDD,  compared to DSM 5x/ DSM 6.x, in DSM 7.x the minimum HDD size must be 21 GB or larger as per

after adjusting the HDD sizes, then it worked just fine.
