davurleon Posted October 27, 2017 Share #1 Posted October 27, 2017 Hi! I have recently deleted all of my disks by error and now need to setup this server anew, however, even though I am using Jun's 1.0b and it boots and seems to be working, somehow I cannot add disks 2-4 to my SHR. They are added, and then dissappear just for the system to say that it failed, the only disk I can connect and make the system on is nr. 1, I even tried switching them around and still only nr. 1 can be made to work, what can have gone wrong? I did switch off C1E of course, and the server is reachable I just cannot add disks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbv3000 Posted October 28, 2017 Share #2 Posted October 28, 2017 To check - you can see all disks in Storage Manager, but if you try to add them to a raid/shr it fails? I don't have an N36, but had a similar problem on a bare metal system, drives would not add to expand a volume. What worked for me was to create separate volumes on each disk, then delete them, then I could add all the drives to the raid/shr. Don't know why this worked, guessing something to do with disks being initialised/partitioned and some unknown other 'magic' happening to allow the raid creation/build process to work. You might want to check the smart status of the drives too, a failing one might interrupt the build process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearcat Posted October 28, 2017 Share #3 Posted October 28, 2017 DSM6x do not support SHR "out of the box". Quote SHR on dsm6: edit synoinfo.conf located in /etc.defaults/synoinfo. conf comment out / delete supportraidgroup="yes" then add support_syno_hybrid_raid ="yes" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davurleon Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted October 29, 2017 I have already enabled SHR, it seems as if disks 2-4 are on "non-working" ports or something, can I have made some mistake setting up the BIOS of my N36L? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearcat Posted October 30, 2017 Share #5 Posted October 30, 2017 Do you have one of the "modded" BIOS versions? All ports set as AHCI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davurleon Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share #6 Posted October 30, 2017 Hi again I have a modded BIOS yes, set to ACHI. The really weird part is that I tried booting the server with Windows 10 and if I run Device Manager there it says that the HDDs 2-4 are "offline" somehow, never seen that before...

davurleon Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share #7 Posted November 6, 2017 So incredibly silly, I had chosen to make the harddrives JBOD on my RAID card in an earlier installation, it was this that made them not able to be added to the server... Something learnt today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
