mmedeiro Posted May 19, 2017 Share #1 Posted May 19, 2017 Hi, I recently built a XPEnology NAS salvaging redundant parts from my previous rig. ASUS X79 Sabertooth Mobo with 32gb DDR3 and a I7 4820. I also through a LSI 8 ports Sata PCI in there. I set her up, installed XPEnology and all went well, super easy. Before migrating my 9 disk SHR 2 array which is currently in an official Synology box I wanted to test SHR 1 in my new XPEnology box using 2 5tb drives i have laying around. Upon attempting to create a raid, SHR was not an option. Do i need to do something specific to allow me to use SHR or is it now obsolete when creating new arrays? I should still be able to migrate my SHR array correct? Do i need to be on the same exact DSM version when migrating? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polanskiman Posted May 19, 2017 Share #2 Posted May 19, 2017 A quick search would have yielded the following: SHR is not available on 3615xs and all high end models of Synology. You can however activate it: SSH with admin input your password elevate rights by doing: sudo -i input your password again you are now root edit the synoinfo.conf file with vi or nano if you have it installed. I prefer nano it's easier to use. You can install it through the community package center vi /etc.defaults/synoinfo.conf or nano /etc.defaults/synoinfo.conf comment out/delete supportraidgroup="yes" then add support_syno_hybrid_raid="yes" Save the file. Refresh the page. You are done. Preferably reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filippo333 Posted May 21, 2017 Share #7 Posted May 21, 2017 Anyone know why official SHR support is so flaky? Is there a reason why Synology don't support it on some of their high end devices? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
