Hard RAID for DSM 4.3 ?

[RGM-111]

Hi, i'm planed to set u for a new ITX XPEnology, does DSM 4.3 support LSI MEGA RAID SAS,

if i use LSI 9261-8i for my set up is it i need to create a RAID volume through the CLI / WebBios (LSI Option ROM on boot) before the USB synoboot to run?

 

Or can the DSM to install and then create the RAID volume through the DSM ?

 

Thank's for every bodys' help

you wont be able to on raid, i flashed mine to IT mode and even so with 4.3 you will have to install to a drive not connected to the SAS controller then re-attach drives on SAS and create a volune, you will have to repair volume everytime you reboot

 

my opinion this project is a dead end if you really want to take advantage of your hardware, unless you want to stick with mobo embedded stuff

DSM will always use disk name (i.e. /dev/sdX). Can you post your /proc/partitions and dmesg result?

Thank's stanza,

 

Tried the latest 4.3-3810 pre-V1.1 beta 5, it can detect my LSI-9261-8i (as the 9261 didn't have IT mode support) i tried to create 1no RAID 5 VD with 4 disk.

the Disk manager can shown MR9261 (RAID 5 VD treaded as 1 single disk)

This set up would solve my issue n using the LSI9261 while drawback is all rebuild and disk handeling by the LSI-9261 instead of the DSM.

 

 

Anyway thats a gerat improvemet for DSM to run with HBAs
