nimbu Posted January 24, 2018 Share #1 Posted January 24, 2018 Hi Guys, I have an old HP ML110 G6, which I used to run DSM 5.x on ages ago. Its been retired since then. My friend wanted to get his storage consolidated without a huge spend. He has 4x4TB and 3X3TB. The ML comes with the 4 port SATA controller to the HD bay, but I need to add 3 more ports, I was wondering if the card below would work in the current latest Juns loader? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00AZ9T3OU/ref=psdc_949408031_t1_B00BUC3NNS?th=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cr4z33 Posted February 19, 2018 Share #5 Posted February 19, 2018 I got the card today, but when I run the NAS I get the 'No Disk Found' Synology page. What's wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cr4z33 Posted February 20, 2018 Share #7 Posted February 20, 2018 After having finished installing and configuring DSM in the new hard drive attached to the Syba card I have connected again the 4 previous hard drives to the motheboard and powered on the NAS. The problem now is that the machine keeps loading DSM from the 4 HDs instead from the new one... What can I do without having to format the 4 HDs?

Cr4z33 Posted February 20, 2018 Share #8 Posted February 20, 2018 Perhaps @Polanskiman mate can you help me please? I am using everything in the signature (with the addition of a Syba card and a WD Purple 1TB hard drive). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Update DSM on the 4 drives. Format your 1TB drive and then put it back. DSM will detect it and ask you what you want to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSM will detect it and ask you what you want to do with it.So I ask you just to be double sure... I will have then the option to install DSM on the new drive or just some migration stuff?

Cr4z33 Posted February 22, 2018 Share #13 Posted February 22, 2018 @Polanskiman unfortunately DSM didn't ask me what to do with the disk so I gave up and ended by installing all my apps on that new drive and leaving the OS where it was. By the way isn't there a way to reset XPenology DSM installations like on Synology machines WITHOUT loosing your personal data? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polanskiman Posted February 22, 2018 Share #14 Posted February 22, 2018 Not sure what you did but whenever you plug a formatted drive onto a Synology/Xpenology machine, DSM normally asks you to initialise the drive. You can then use that drive as a single volume or add it to you RAID. You should go to the Storage Manager and check it there. If you want to reset DSM you can simply reinstall DSM. This wont delete your data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
