I have 7 drives in there right now as SHR-1, largest drive is a 4TB and I added a non-initialized 4TB to perform the change to SHR-2.

It will certainly "import" existing SHR volumes, but I am not sure you can make any changes without it enabled. I guess not. A quick google search found that I need to ssh and then sudo vi and comment out supportraidgroup="yes" and add support_syno_hybrid_raid = "yes". Just did it. Damn, now upon reboot, my DSM is asking to reinstall/migrate. Is this normal? Should I proceed with installing/migrating again? Edited November 6, 2017 by undecided I found it.

Dfds Posted November 6, 2017 Share #179 Posted November 6, 2017 From Synology website: SHR-1 with the following disk configurations may require two additional disks when changing to SHR-2: There are only two disks. All disks have different capacities. Three or more disks in the RAID Array contain a pair of higher-capacity disks compared to the other disks in the RAID Array. what disk configuration do you have?

It seems that making that change to synoinfo.conf results in the diskstation wanting to reinstall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dfds Posted November 6, 2017 Share #184 Posted November 6, 2017 If you're array is ok why not swap the 500gb disk for a 4tb, let the array rebuild then change to shr-2. I'm assuming that you have backups of all your important files while you're doing this of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming that you have backups of all your important files while you're doing this of course. Yeah, data is backed up. Why would the swap from 500GB to 4TB allow me to change to shr-2? It would go from Disk 1: 1.8TB Disk 3: 2.7TB Disk 5: 2.7TB Disk 6: 3.6TB Disk 7: (Not initialized, reserved for upgrade to SHR-2) 3.6TB Disk 8: 3.6TB Disk 9: 2.7TB Disk 10: 466GB to Disk 1: 1.8TB Disk 3: 2.7TB Disk 5: 2.7TB Disk 6: 3.6TB Disk 7: (Not initialized, reserved for upgrade to SHR-2) 3.6TB Disk 8: 3.6TB Disk 9: 2.7TB Disk 10: 3.6TB Still 3 different sizes of drives.

Then what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dfds Posted November 7, 2017 Share #188 Posted November 7, 2017 Essentially yes, when you remove the 500gb the array will degrade, add the 4tb DSM should see the new disk & expand the array. Once complete you should be able to change the raid type to shr-2 with the spare 4tb disk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found that depending on how the edit is done the file can get 'corrupted' so its not 'read' properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No biggie as I am hoping to retire this server soon (move to a VM), but thought I would report it. Sorry for spamming up the thread.

kATABATIC Posted November 10, 2017 Share #199 Posted November 10, 2017 DFds to get rid of the 500gb disk , i dont think you have to degrade your array , just tell dsm that you want to don't want use that disk and it will migrate everything off . dsm -- storage manager --volume--"remove" 500Gb disk .. should be quick (assumes you have enough space on other disks for the moved data) I dont know whether its this simple in shr-1 ?
