[HELP - failed DSM update]

On 4/7/2021 at 5:57 AM, Earthian E90 said:

Hi Everyone,

 

Today I was an idiot. 

Last few DSM updates went smoothly so I was confident that today would be no different.

 

After the update i could not connect to the DSM and when i connect a screen this is all I see. 

 

 

Is there any way to save this situation/data/setup?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

 

I did the same stupid thing today.  I wasn't logged into this forum and didn't see the warnings at the top until logging in now.  I did check the forum to see if others were successful but I looked at the wrong version thread.  Did you get this fixed?  If so what did you do?

[Updating from 6.2.1 update 4 to update 6]

Can you just apply the update in the GUI or do you need to download it and apply it through the shell?  If the shell method is there a guide somewhere?  I found one form 2014 but not sure if it still applies.

 

Thanks

[Supermicro X10SL7-F, DS3615xs, and Drive numbering weirdness]

It's because I was using the onboard sas ports which are enumerated after the sata ports.  Disabled the sata ports in the bios fixed the issue.  The sas drives will always numerate sequentially.

[Supermicro X10SL7-F, DS3615xs, and Drive numbering weirdness]

DSM 6.2.1-23824 Update 4 installed.

 

I have a bare metal install on a Supermicro x10sl7-f motherboard in a supermicro cse825-tq chassis.  The case has 8 hot swap drives.  I have the 8 sata cables connected to 8 ports on the motherboard.  I have one drive in it for the initial install and it shows up as "drive 7" in the dsm gui.  If I add a second drive it shows up as "drive 8".  The weird thing is it doesn't matter which empty slot I put the drive in.  It always shows up as drive 8.  Anyone know why this would happen?
