Brad-Pea Posted May 15, 2017 Share #1 Posted May 15, 2017 Hi All, As the title suggests, I wish to build and Xpenology box with a maximum available 24 drives, but also want to utilize the Synology Hybrid Raid option, so that I don't have to use the same amount of same sized disks etc. This will be being used for offsite backup and wont contain any live data. Is the above possible ? If so, could someone point in the direction of the latest version which will give me 24 drive capability and SHR ? Many thanks in advance.

IG-88 Posted May 15, 2017 Share #2 Posted May 15, 2017 synology has disabled that option in the newer 6.1 version but everything is still there, you just have to set 2 options in the config file and reboot to reenable it just search in the 6.0.2 thead viewtopic.php?f=2&t=20216&p=87110&hilit=shr+enable#p87110 btw. the default is just 12 drives you also have to tweak the config to 24 drives too there is a nice video if you dont like the "dry" stuff here as text Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-Pea Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted May 16, 2017 Hey, Many thanks for the reply ! That looks great, I will give that a go. Thanks again ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbv3000 Posted May 17, 2017 Share #4 Posted May 17, 2017 I run a 20 drive box DSM5.2 SHR as a 'jukebox' for backups, works ok. Unless you need the newer features of DSM6 you might be better to run 5.2 as its had a longer stability/hardware compatability run than 6.

Brad-Pea Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share #5 Posted June 7, 2017 Sorry to bring back the thread ! I managed to edit the config and able to add up to 24 drives ... But when I am starting to configure, the first drive being added is classed as disk 7 ? Then the next disk inserted is 8,9,10 etc ... Why has it not started at Disk 1 ? Ideally I need them all in order, so in one disk fails I know which to replace. Hope I have explained that correctly. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually you cannot do anything with discs numbering. To check your hardware you can use dmesg. ssh to your box and run: dmesg > /volume1/media/dmesg.txt better to open in Notepad++ [ 2.026536] mpt2sas0: 32 BIT PCI BUS DMA ADDRESSING SUPPORTED, total mem (2006212 kB) [ 2.026574] mpt2sas 0000:02:00.0: irq 43 for MSI/MSI-X [ 2.026580] mpt2sas 0000:02:00.0: irq 44 for MSI/MSI-X [ 2.026622] mpt2sas0-msix0: PCI-MSI-X enabled: IRQ 43 [ 2.026623] mpt2sas0-msix1: PCI-MSI-X enabled: IRQ 44 [ 2.026625] mpt2sas0: iomem(0x00000000dfff0000), mapped(0xffffc90000020000), size(65536) [ 2.026627] mpt2sas0: ioport(0x000000000000e800), size(256) [ 2.099015] mpt2sas0: sending message unit reset !!

You can find it it StorageManager and then on drive.

sbv3000 Posted June 8, 2017 Share #7 Posted June 8, 2017 with my setup, with onboard sata and marvell based sas/sata add on controllers, I found the onboard to be drives 1-4 then depending on the pci slots and sas ports, 5-20, but with some weird things like ports 0-3 on controller1 would be drives 9-12 in DSM. Not always 'logical' so I ended up labelling sata leads for the hdd number as defined by DSM rather than the 'logic' of the pci/controller enumeration, plus put large labels with the last 4 characters of the drive serial number stuck on the drive itself, as a cross check to the storage manager hdd screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
