compuman Posted May 15, 2019 Share #78 Posted May 15, 2019 well, if the NAS not recognize the RAID... i don't think so... no the only way you can "try" is to connect one disk of the raid to external USB3 (with SATA-USB adaptor) IF you have RAID 1 without encrypted data... it can work. NOW you can create RAID 1 on other DISK (insert into NAS) and then copy the data from USB3 to internal RAID 1 (temporary with only one disk) After you can disconnect the disk from USB3 and insert internal and then correct the error on RAID, ri-syncronize with the good one inserted before, to recreate good RAID 1 structure. BUT you have to commit not errors or you will lost every data (better if you copy/backup data to PC via SATA-USB adaptor before RAID operations) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compuman Posted May 15, 2019 Share #79 Posted May 15, 2019 Someone test DSM 6.2.2 ? I tested it yesterday and after the UPDATE the NAS not boot UP I have to downgrade the NAS to 6.2.1 again, but I have to reimport configuration and reinstall package The question: what the problem with this UPDATE ? maybe someone with a good serial number + MAC address have tested if it works ?

compuman Posted June 7, 2019 Share #86 Posted June 7, 2019 If someone is interested I make a PoC of XPEnology installed on VM on ESXi system (obviusly on my F2-220): I installed ESXi 6.7 on Internal USB (from a USB bootable connected to external USB that I modified to load Realtek network driver and then force ignoreHeadless=TRUE) From system ESXi I installed Dastastore on a new External USB Stick (it need some command line via SSH to force this operation) I use the USB2 port, because I want to use USB3 for external HDD... I installed XPEnology on a VM created in Datastore: boot using DS3615xs 1.03b loader Configuring the network NIC E1000E, it works also with last DSM 6.2.2 (this is my goal) Configuring the VM with Physical Disk mapped on vmdk (to use the disk that I'm using now, also this have to do via SSH command line) Configurind the VM to use external HDD via USB passthrough (this NOT WORK!!! I can't see USB DEVICE) All seems to work well except for external HDD that is not visible (I think because of POINT 2. that modify USB configuration). If someone want to TEST this way, you need: USB Stick for ESXi 6.7 boot ISO (i created it with rufus) USB Stick for install the ESXi system (minimal 4gb) USB Stick for create the VM (I can't create this on the internat usb free space?!?) HDD test (if you want only to test the ESXi) The system ESXi seems to be very stable, also with F2-220 hardware The VM XPEnology seems to be very reactive, but i make "poor" test, Now I return to original configuration (cause I use external HDD and I have only this NAS) But I will make some other test in future... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compuman Posted June 10, 2019 Share #87 Posted June 10, 2019 This weekend I complete my test with ESXi 6.7 I found a method to use "free space on internal USB stick" like DataStore without change the USB policy, so with ONE solution I solve two problem: -external USB stick on USB2 port no more needed -external USB HDD on USB3 port works in VM XPEnology like always (share by default like usbshare1 and usbshare2) SO like normal XPEnology installation, you need ONLY 1 USB internal Stick that BOOT ESXi system, and then you can use the same USB Stick to save VM information, VM disk, etc... In the VM configuration you can pass the entire SATA DISK to VM, so you can use the two SATA bay for the DISK like always... Now I can complete the test with performance test: Samba share pass from ESXi system -> to VM XPEnology so a lower performance I think is "normal" Also, I discover that the PCI CONTROLLER for USB DEVICE is not compatible with "pass-through" (ESXi system say "not capable") so, I think the lower performance I see is normal In particolar: -copy file from/to USBSHARE folder on external USB 3 HDD normal XPEnology installation: 50/60 MB/sec ESXi XPEnology VM installation: 30/40 MB/sec -copy file from/to INTERNAL HDD shared by DSM normal XPEnology installation: 60/80 MB/sec ESXi XPEnology VM installation: 40/50 MB/sec I test some tuning (more CPU reservation, more memory reservation, etc...) but I don't know ESXi system very well, so... I can't tell to have the best configuration... If someone can make more test, NOW this can be a way to use future DSM if it "only" works on VM and not directly installed (like 6.2.2) At the end: XPEnology can works on ONE internal USB, with moderate/normal performance, obviusly you need VGA cable and a keyboard to install ESXi, but after the first boot, you can configure from browser VM and austart of the VM... so, the normal boot is "slow" but automatic (first boot ESXi and after 10 sec autostart the VM with XPEnology) Good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xthakila Posted June 16, 2019 Share #88 Posted June 16, 2019 Which would you recommend the DS918 or the DS3615 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compuman Posted June 17, 2019 Share #89 Posted June 17, 2019 DSM 6.2 works with DS3615 1.03b loader (need vga cable to change boot order) DSM 6.2.1 works with DS918+ 1.04b loader (without vga cable) DSM 6.2.2 works only with VM ox ESXi system (nedd vga cable for installation, and I try DS3615 1.03b loader with virtual NIC E1000e) DS3615 is more compatible, have more packages, have fancontrol via lm-sensors DS918+ works well but have less packages and fancontrol have to be compiled in gcc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(you have to active that on BIOS Advanced CPU settings) for USB it makes differense and maybe you can passthough the USB device to VM to have more speed (maybe the same speed with normal installation and VM installation) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several threads on downgrading from a failed upgrade, can be done by editing various config files and migrating, or (my favourite method and easier imho) is to build a clean XPE/DSM install on a spare hdd and allow that drive to 'repair' the system, here is one thread with the process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdse13 Posted September 2, 2019 Share #96 Posted September 2, 2019 Before I moved from a DS215j to to a Terramaster F2-220 the temperature of the 2 hard disks usually remained below 30 ° centigrades. Now temperature reaches up to 44 ° when idle. Therefore, I need to install the script but I failed to do so. Therefore, any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

kociubin Posted October 11, 2019 Share #99 Posted October 11, 2019 For those thinking of using this Terramaster box with VMware ESXi, my advice is DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME. There are too many issues and the setup is not robust enough even for home use. Here are some serious issues: Hardware pass-through for disks is not fully working. This means that even if you get the drives to show up in Synology (this requires some command line hackery), S.M.A.R.T. info will not be readable by synology. This is a critical warning system that's too important to give up (IMHO) I couldn't get all 4 of my drives to show up in Synology. No matter what I tried only 3 of them were accessible. Booting ESXi 6.7 from a USB stick resulted in various settings to be lost after a reboot. I was able to work around it by installing ESXi on a real SSD drive but that sacrifices one of your slots. There is a 10-20% performance hit in reading/writing from disks After spending about 10 hours on this, I'm going back to bare metal. Although this sounded like a good idea, it's not workable for me in practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
