[Converting ds1515+ into ds1517+ DSM 7.2]

"7.2.1-69057 Update 5" just released, how to update to it? Can I simply do it from GUI, or the scripts will be missing after that?

[Converting ds1515+ into ds1517+ DSM 7.2]

I just tried the script from the GItHub. While the script itself worked, immediately after it finished, I was unable to put 1517+ pat file into GUI, as GUI started refusing connections. @prt1999 please help. It allows me however, after reboot, to install 7.1.1 again...

 

Tried again, there are some errors:

Done.

Then manually update to DS1517+ DSM 7.2.x from the web interface.

 

EDIT: It succeeded finally. I tried second time, but this time not from root, but from regular user with sudo as in instruction - maybe that was a problem. It updated and now it's 7.2 newest version.

Please report, if File Station is working OK after modding? I need quotas and I have read above in this thread that for someone it's not working.

I just want to be sure. Is VMM and Docker still working as well? BTW, to revert it back to original (in case of selling the unit) we need to flash .orig ROM,

then remove scheduled task, change HW back to 1515+ for example, and reinstall DSM?

 

EDIT: One more thing, this:

mem_max_mb="6144"    1517+: "16384"

I already have 16GB RAM in my 1515+ unit, I just bought it like this. Does it mean I have this modded, or unit simply took the RAM as inserted (by someone else)?

Hi there!

 

I'm new to this all, and already read a lot of posts and tutorials, and I'm a bit stuck, so forgive me my newbie questions:

- what I someone whan to install newest verstion from scratch on baremetal/esxi/vmware player and so on? where is the vmdk file

- why only img files (and for the rest I need to convert)

- a lot of info, but I'm missing some simple solution: download this and this, setup this and this and you're done.

 

So basically, a lot of people here did working setups, why not to share ready files/vmdk's and the stuff?

 

Cheers,

Leszek
