Ok so you're saying <yourplatform> refers to the current DSM "version" I'm running?  I just want to make sure.  Maybe it'll just error out, but I fear worse if I don't type the correct value here.  Maybe it's just semantic differences, but in other posts "platform" refers to the hardware (e.g. DS3622xs+.).  Then in a previous post on this page Loveburn (member) described a successfull manual update to 7.1 U2... with a postupdate command that specifies 7.0.1 42218.  Can you really make that jump?

Hello, I am certainly not an expert but if you run the ./rploader.sh postupdate command it will spit out usage and there you can see examples of what you can specify as arguments. I believe that the postudate command would be useful only in minor updates like Update1 or Update2 where the main version number will remain the same for example 7.1.0-42661. If it was a major version number change I think a loader rebuild would be necessary.

In you case the broadwellnk-7.1.0-42661 the broadwellnk defines the platform and the 7.1.0-42661 the DSM version.

When I did the postupdate for DS918+ I had to use ./rploader.sh postupdate apollolake-7.1.0-42661. On the DS3615xs+ I used  ./rploader.sh postupdate bromolow-7.1.0-42661

 

The codenames apollolake, bromolow etc are the Intel platform.

Try run the command ./rploader.sh postupdate only and you will see the output.

I hope I am not making any mistakes and hopefully someone with more knowledge can chime in. I did two successful postupdates with DS3615xs and DS918+ and in both cases it was intel platform-dsmversion (bromolow-7.1.0-42661, apollolake-7.1.0-42661)

I'm getting ready to install 2nd update to 7.1.  Regarding..... ./rploader.sh postupdate <yourplatform>...

 

What exactly should be typed for <yourplatform>?  In my case... should it just be DS3622xs+?  Or also version, build, etc.?

I believe you need to type: ./rploader.sh postupdate broadwellnk-7.1.0-42661

Hello everyone. 
 

Could someone please comment on what is the correct procedure and command to do a postupdate on a DS918+?

I tried this:

./rploader.sh update now

./rploader.sh fullupgrade now

./rploader.sh backup

./rploader.sh postupdate apollolake-7.1.0-42661

 

But I keep getting Check custom_config.json for platform settings. I copy paste the platform from the output of the postupdate function to make sure.

 

On another note I was able to do yesterday ./rploader.sh postupdate bromolow-7.1.0-42661 for DS3615xs+. While troubleshooting today I tried this as well and still game me the Check custom_config.json error message.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

UPDATE: I think I realized my mistake. Updating in case someone else is in the same boat. I was trying to migrate from a previously setup of a DS3615xs+. Had to manually reinstall update2, make sure Synology Assistant found it as recoverable, perform the recovery, upon reboot go to TCRP and run the commands above and then the postupdate worked without spitting the check custom_config.json error.

[Virtual Machine Manager : on what config is it working ?]

Has anyone experienced an issue with VMM, where it displays Guest has not initialized the display (yet)? Using DS3615xs on 6.2.2 on a Dell PowerEdge T410 server with Intel® Xeon® Processor E5503. Same error under 6.2.1. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Windows VM's work fine i7-4770k. 32gb Ripsaw PC-3200 ram, DSM 6.2.1.23824 Update 6

 

Linux VM's do not... I can't get ANY linux based system to run on VMM

 

Did you try Edit Virtual Machine -> General -> Gear Icon next to CPU(s) -> Advanced Options -> Enabled CPU compatibility mode?

Wasn't able to run CentOS until this was checked.
