[Update to DSM 6.2 on VMware ESXi 6.7.0 on a HP Microserver gen 8]

Hi all,

 

I'm running "DSM 6.1.4-15217 Update 2" inside a (VMware ESXi 6.7.0) virtual machine on a HP Microserver gen 8.

What is the best option for me to upgrade to 6.2?

I have to specify that right now, after each reboot/restart/power loss, I have to always recover my installation.

 

Thanks.

Hi all,

 

What's happened to the boot log?

It used to be working on older versions of the loader.

Can it be brought back?

 

Thanks.

Create a new raid group before you try to create a volume

 

Thanks! I didn't see the option for BASIC RAID group...

Hi all,

 

I just used V1.02a for an ESXi install after an update that upset the DSM and complained of a recovery mode.

 

Whatever...

 

I used the V1.02 and installed from scratch and it seems like it's running the latest version now: 

 

Current DSM version:    DSM 6.1.2-15132

 

Now, my problem is that I can't create volumes, even though I've edited the synoinfo.conf file and enabled SHR:

 

support_syno_hybrid_raid="yes"

 

Any suggestions?

Hi all,

 

Is anyone able to post a proper installation guide for ESXi ona HP Microserver Gen8?

I mean, just the steps, including links to the boot loader (vmdk/img/iso) along with any other required files.

 

P.S.: Would it work to boot from a 6.0 loader and install the latest version from Synology.com instead of specifying a pat file?

 

Thanks.
