[Automated RedPill Loader (ARPL)]

Has anyone successfully updated to DSM 7.2.1 (69057) yet with the ARPL loader. 

Yes, with latest ARPL-i18n on two identical machines in two ways.

 

1. Shutdown machine, flash boot stick with latest from ARPL-i18n, build loader, reboot. Migration assistant kicks in, all good.

 

2. Reboot into ARPL-i18n config, update ARPL-i18n in menu, manual update to 7.2.1 via pat.

 

Both work fine.

[DSM 6.2 Loader]

I installed DSM 6.2 - 23739 with Jun's 1.03b DS3617xs on an ASRock Rack D1520-D4i with LSI 9211-8i IT.

 

My box with DSM 6.1 - 15284 Update 2 had disk 1 of 6 in Raid 6 failing. Restore to Hot Spare failed. After power cycling, disk 1 was good, but disk 2-5 where critical. Reinstalling DSM 6.1 with Jun's 1.02b DS3617xs gave me repeatedly the option to migrate, but without success. Odd.

 

DSM 6.2 - 23739 with Jun's 1.03b DS3617xs did the trick, came up with disks 1-5. Took two days to check the raid, add disk 6 and Hot Spare, reconnect to rsync backup on a LaCie 5Big NAS Pro and reindexing.

 

All fine for now and as a bonus, Universal Search finally works reliably with Spotlight. Sweet.

 

Thanks Jun.
