MrTPN Posted October 20, 2017 Share #1 Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) Hey Folks - We have made some great progress with our install and stuck on the very last step. 😩 Our Disktation installs successfully, reboots and comes back up again - after a few minutes the interface refreshes and says "Starting Services" in the assistant, if you browse to the web interface it states "System is getting ready" and simply sits there.... After a good 30 minutes nothing happens and it doesn't seem to move past this stage. We have Juns 1.02b boot loader and the DSM_DS3615xs_15152.pat file for the installation as per the guide. Hardware Setup: SuperMicro X9DBL-IF Motherboard 2 x Intel XEON E5-2418L 48Gb Ram ECC 3 x LSi 9211-8i (Flashed to IT Mode - Dell H200) HP NC365T Ethernet controller Various Hard Drives on the LSi's Has anyone else experienced anything similar to the above or can offer any insight / guidance as to what might be up? Many Thanks! MrTPN Edited October 20, 2017 by MrTPN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many Thanks! MrTPN Are you upgrading from a previous version or is this a clean install? If you have a lot of drives attached to the controllers it may be that DSM is installing on them and its taking time. If you have > 12 drives then you will need to change your config to match AFTER the system is installed (maximum =24) You could try reducing the complexity of the system, remove 2 of the LSI, disable onboard sata controllers etc and maybe lower the memory. See if that gets you a 'working' system then build up from there You could check the bios settings and see what resources (IRQ and memory) are allocated to the controllers and other devices, might be a conflict there so disable unnecessary items. IRQ sharing could lead to drive timeouts and slow loading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
