![]() Now I would definitely need to ability to receive email alerts and notifications from this rig (loss of connection, any problem with the RAID array, S.M.A.R.T. I believe I can live without QC (although it would have bees convenient) since I can remotely access a PC on my LAN and then access to the XPenology rig from this PC. Is there a list anywhere of what I should not use in order to stay within the guidelines? "What about using Synology QuickConnect and other Synology based services?" (edit: DiskIdxMap probably not needed with baremetal unless testing indicates otherwise) If that is true, you should try set sata_args='SataPortMap=65' Odds are that the onboard controller will get recognized first. The challenge with multiple controllers is to be sure that you understand which controller is enumerated first, and how the ports on the controller get enumerated into the slot structure. Mods, please edit if I have overstepped with my explanation here.Īgain, use spare drives to test out your configuration and make sure the drive layout is functional. In the interest of maintaining appropriate use of DSM under XPenology, trying to use QuickConnect (with or without a "real" serial number) is discouraged. Synology uses real serial numbers and registrations to determine valid connections to their cloud services. DSM is an "aggregate" program with GPL and a few non-GPL components - particularly those that rely on Synology's own cloud services such as QuickConnect. I am kind of struggling at the very beginning of the tutorial:ĭSM heavily leverages GPL code, which essentially says that source code and use must be freely made available to all. Thank you very much in advance for your guidance. What should I set SataPortMap to? 65? 56? 44?ĭoes that mean that SataPortMap is related to VMs only? I guess not but I find the comment confusing. I plan to connect 4 drives to each controller. My mainboard has 1 Ethernet controller (RealTek GbE) with 6 sATA connectors but since I need to connect 8 disks I have a 2nd sATA controller (JMicron JMB585) with 5 ports (PCIe x4) on a PCIe2.0 x4 slot. This gives you more time at the boot prompt to switch to another menu entry." In addition you can change the value of "set timeout" to a higher number. " 8 ) If your mainboard has more than one S-ATA controller you can (4x Intel & 2x Marvell for example) change the value "SataPortMap=1" to "SataPortMap=42". I would rather not lose these data since starting the backup from scratch would be very long but it wouldn't be so dramatic either. My 8 drives already contain DSM6.2.x and TB of backup data. However, I guess the SN of a DS1812+ will not work for a xpen rig emulating a DS918+, right?Ĭurrently my goal is to use this XPenology rig to replace a dead DS1812+ that was only used as a backup destination (HyperBackup) for another DS. Is that right? if yes, where can I find a complete list of what won't work?Ĭould I use the valid SN of my dead DS1812+? This xpen is meant to replace it. It sounds like even with a SN some services/modules are not available for xpen users. " A notice for users who want to use QuickConnect and similar services: Do not use QuickConnect as this is a feature for owners of real Synology boxes." I can read in the readme of the tool-set provided here: I'm not sure I understand what the limitations are if I don't edit this SN value. " Where to get sn and mac - is your headache, Google will help you, the system will be installed and will work with those that are initially registered in the bootloader, but with the restriction of the functioning of some services and modules, such as: QC, push notifications, activation of codecs for transcoding, installation of syno licenses. Thanks a lot and am kind of struggling at the very beginning of the tutorial:
