How to enable SHR on XS series Synology models

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to enable SHR on XS series Synology models like the DS3615xs:

  1. Connect to your Synology device using a web browser and log in to your newly created account.
  2. Once logged in, go to the Control Panel and select Terminal & SNMP from the System section.
  3. Under the Terminal tab, check the box to enable SSH service on your Synology device.
  4. Connect to your Synology device using SSH. You can use a tool like PuTTY to do this.
  5. Once connected, navigate to the /etc.defaults/ directory by running the following command:
bash
cd /etc.defaults/
  1. Open the synoinfo.conf file using a text editor such as vi or nano:
sudo vi synoinfo.conf
  1. Locate the line that reads “supportraidgroup=”yes”” and add a pound sign (#) at the beginning of the line to comment it out, like this:
c
#supportraidgroup="yes"
  1. Add a new line below this commented line and type the following:
makefile
support_syno_hybrid_raid="yes"
  1. Save the changes and exit the text editor.
  2. Restart your Synology device to apply the changes.
  3. Once your device has restarted, go to the Storage Manager in the Control Panel.
  4. Click on the Create button and select Create Storage Pool.
  5. Follow the prompts to create your new storage pool using the SHR (Synology Hybrid RAID) option.
  6. Once the storage pool is created, you can create volumes and start using your new SHR-enabled storage.

Congratulations, you have successfully enabled SHR on your XS series Synology device!
