What to do if a drive fails?

[aleamadoc]

Hi, I installed 8 nvme disks using 2x Asus HyperX Cards, and used shr-2, but now I have a question, since synology gui did not let me use the disks because they are in an expansion card I used this script, so in an event of a disk fail, if I replace the disk on the expansion card it wont let me use it on the shr-2 array, is there an option not to create but to replace a drive on the raid?

Thank you

Which NAS model are you using?

Did you use v2.0.26 or one of the older v1 versions of the script?

The following commands may allow creating, managing and repairing NVMe storage pools/volumes on your PCIe M.2 adaptor cards. It's how my syno_hdd_db enables using the Storage Manager GUI to create storage pools and volumes on NVMe drive in a E10M20-T1, M2D20 or M2D18.

For DSM 7.2.1 and later:

strgmgr="/usr/local/packages/@appstore/StorageManager/ui/storage_panel.js"
sudo sed -i 's/notSupportM2Pool_addOnCard:this.T("disk_info","disk_reason_m2_add_on_card"),//g' "$strgmgr"
sudo sed -i 's/},{isConditionInvalid:0<this.pciSlot,invalidReason:"notSupportM2Pool_addOnCard"//g' "$strgmgr"

For DSM 7.2:

strgmgr="/usr/syno/synoman/webman/modules/StorageManager/storage_panel.js"
sudo sed -i 's/notSupportM2Pool_addOnCard:this.T("disk_info","disk_reason_m2_add_on_card"),//g' "$strgmgr"
sudo sed -i 's/},{isConditionInvalid:0<this.pciSlot,invalidReason:"notSupportM2Pool_addOnCard"//g' "$strgmgr"

Hello, thank you very much for your super fast answer, right now I'using XPENOLOGY with mshell loader.

DSM 7.2.1-69057 Update 4
RS4021xs+
Intel Xeon Platinum 8164 (Overkill I Know but was the only one I have with the PCI Lanes needed)
256gb RAM

I Used the latest script that was available in github as yesterday (2024/04/09).

Thank you very much again for your fast answer,

Best regards

The latest script version uses synostgpool to create the storage pool.

synostgpool has a -auto-repair DISK_PATH option but I haven't figured out how it works yet. I assume DISK_PATH is the drive to add to to the storage pool that needs repairing, but I can't see how it knows which storage pool to repair.

I forgot I had created a wiki page on how to replace a failed NVMe drive and upgrade to larger drives.
