How many controllers? How many ports on those controllers? Did you have a custom setting for DiskIdxMap and/or SataPortMap in your loader?

Are your disks passthrough? How many controllers? How many ports on those controllers? Did you have a custom setting for DiskIdxMap and/or SataPortMap in your loader? Thank you for your answer. I did try to edit /etc.defaults/synoinfo.conf. That was the first thing I tried. But even though I changed the values to 24 disks, there is still only 8 disks visible in DSM Storage Manager. I think this must be the problem, right? Why doesn't the change in synoinfo.conf reflect in the Synology? About my system: I have a Supermicro Motherboard with a built in LSI controller with 8 SATA ports (on the mother board). The controller works as a regular PCI HBA and is passed through to the Synology server. I also have a regular 8 port PCI LSI HBA that is passed through in the same way. I don't recognize DiskIdxMap and SataPortMap. I have never changed any of those values before. Is that something new with version 6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyride Posted May 28, 2020 Share #553 Posted May 28, 2020 The values in /etc.defaults/synoinfo.conf are copied to /etc/synoinfo.conf each reboot. You will probably need SataPortMap=188 and DiskIdxMap=180008 for your drives to be properly visible spanning controllers. If you are asking whether this is new for version 6, you need to go to the FAQs and spend some time reviewing the 6.x loader instructions and how to implement those settings into the loader.

Just one thing, for macOS, you didn't say how to mount the partition to change the extra.lzma, just to change the grub.cfg. Could you please provide the info? Thank you very much!! Please add to the macOS tutorial, how to mount the other partition, in order to modify the extra.lzma/extra2.lzma: mkdir /tmp/partition2 sudo mount -t msdos /dev/disk2s2 /tmp/partition2 Although I find a problem to eject/unmount it properly... and that's why I wanted to have some help with that Edited May 31, 2020 by ed_co Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCon Posted July 5, 2020 Share #557 Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) Hi Thanks for the detailed tutorial! Been trying to update my 5.2 Synology server. Running on HP DL180G6 Run faultlessly on Xpenoboot for DSM5.2 for years but well past time to update now as many packages etc aren't compatible any longer! As this server has a P410 Raid controller this is listed as not working in the extra ramdisk post and therefore the loader won't work with the server Is there any other loaders I would be able to migrate my current 5.2 installation to? Would a migration be possible using 1.01 and DSM 6.0 or migrate using 1.03 and DSM 6.2? Thanks Edited July 5, 2020 by JCon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genlee Posted August 1, 2020 Share #558 Posted August 1, 2020 Thanks for all information updat. Finally I can update a baremetal HP N40L (mod bios & using onboard NIC) with 6 HDDs, from nanoboot DSM 5.2-5644 to Jub1.03b loader for DS3615xs with DSM6.2.3-25426 directly. Data migration is straight forward & perfectly smooth. Only needs to ensure C1 disabled in BIOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You connect to the installation using Synology Assistant to find he machine over the network once the bootloader has loaded then proceed to install DSM.

If I manage to get Linux on it, can I install DS straight on Linux? or would I have to use a bootloader and use linus to tell it to boot from usb? thanks!! (apologies if this is too far off topic!)

Ive already got a xpenology build on a HP box I just wondered if I could use the old drobo hardware better to make the most of the raid system but as the answer is no It'l free up some brain space thinking about it - thanks so much!

Ghosthawk Posted November 6, 2020 Share #565 Posted November 6, 2020 Hi I am trying to xpenology on an old PC running with Q6600 on Asus p5g41t-m lx. This mobo uses Qualcomm Atheros AR8131 ATL1C, that is supossed to be into the loader I am following all the steps but i cannot find in my local network I have used 2 diferents usb, also adding the new xtra but it is not working i have connected a display and showed that is working with no faults any clue to follow?

IG-88 Posted November 6, 2020 Share #566 Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) what loader did you use, it needs to be 1.03b and you need CSM mode in bios maybe try 1.02b 3617, to boot you dont need to change anything (vid/pid is only important when installing a *.pat file), 1st step is to find it in network the cpu should work with 3615/17 (used this cpu last year for testing) Edited November 7, 2020 by IG-88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you've even tried opening the case and hacking the serial port, only to discover that you don't have the root password. The DS Assistant password doesn't work, and you exhausted all obvious guesses - blank, synopass, synology, password, admin, root, etc. ... Bonus tip: if you're curious how exactly the password is generated, here's the gist: 1st character = month in hexadecimal, lower case (1=Jan, ... , a=Oct, b=Nov, c=Dec) 2-3 = month in decimal, zero padded and starting in 1 (01, 02, 03, ..., 11, 12) 4 = dash 5-6 = day of the month in hex (01, 02 .., 0A, .., 1F) 7-8 = greatest common divisor between month and day, zero padded. This is always a number between 01 and 12. So, let's say today is October 15, the password would be: a10-0f05 (a = month in hex, 10 = month in dec, 0f = day in hex, 05 = greatest divisor between 10 and 15). 11 hours ago, Ghosthawk said: IP to the MAC address but there is no sign with the loader keep in mind you are looking for the mac address that is defined in the grub.cfg the default in 1.02b 3617 is 0011322CA603 (in the final stage for installing that's usually replaced with the real mac to have WOL functionality) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
