Did you do the upgrade to 7.1 inside DSM running on 7.0.1 and then reboot into the TC build mode ?

Hi @phone guy, Thanks a lot for your Response. I'll try it out soon.

Hi guys, After a lot of activities and posting here recently about migrating to version 7.1, I now have a quick question. What is the best way to upgrade my ds3622xsp(Baremetal on HP Microserver Gen8) , which is running on 7.01, to broadwellnk-7.1.0-42621 ? Thanks in advance for the support !

Hi All, I just have made a successfully Baremetal migration from my HP Microserver GEN 8 version DS3615xs (broadwell-7.0.1-42218) to DS3617xs (broadwellnk-7.0.1-42218) without any issues inclusive settings and data's. To make sure , that the migration will not destroy my data's and settings I have made a test with old harddisks before. The only thing to be adapted after the migration, was the logical LAN apdapter setting from DHCP to fix address. Many thanks to @pocopico and all active community members for this great project !!!

Hi @Dvalin21, Related to your post, did you ever find a solution for the broken file and the DS3617xs image ? I've been fighting for weeks to get it working for my HP Microserver Gen8 and I always stuck on 55% during the pat file Installation. Thanks in advance !

Hi @haydibe; That sounds great, but to be hoenest, I'm not really unsterstand what exactly have to do(newbies problem ;-.) Can you give me some more explantions regarding this sentense: is caused by missing "add_extensions": [] in the platform profile. Add it to each profile where it's missing and you will be good. Thanks in advance !

@haydibe Here is the return of your given command. I guess its OK as it shown, or not ? Please note, the same procedure is working, if I create a bootloader image for the DS3715xs( ./rploader.sh build bromolow-7.0.1-42218 ). The only think, I've change is the serial number. tc@box:~$ find . -name "*.json" -not -path "*redpill-load*" -exec bash -c 'jq . < {} > /dev/null && echo "{}: OK" || echo "{}: broken"' \; ./user_config.json: OK ./rpext-index.json: OK ./global_config.json: OK ./custom_config.json: OK ./modules.alias.json: OK

@eldi: I have exactly the same issue and havn't found any help. I've you found a solution, I would be happy.

@Brunox: I'll try to give more details about my issue based on some screenshots(attached) and console outputs . As already mentiones I'm trying the install a broadwell-7.0.1-42218(DS3617xs) image on my HP Microserver Gen 8. I'm able to create a USB key and can boot from them. The station has been found in the network(see attached files). However, if I try to install the ds3617xs_42218.pat(comes directly from pocopico/tinycore-redpill cache folder), I always getting an error about the file seems to corrupt. If I do the same with an bootimage for DS3615xs , it works. ./rploader.sh build broadwell-7.0.1-42218 --> output from build process below . For me , it looks good so far. tc@box:~$ ./rploader.sh build broadwell-7.0.1-42218 static jq: error (at <stdin>:1): Cannot iterate over null (null)DS3617xs_install-IssueFileMaybeCorrupt.docx jq: error (at <stdin>:1): Cannot iterate over null (null) Loader source : https://github.com/jimmyGALLAND/redpill-load.git Loader Branch : develop Redpill module source : https://github.com/jimmyGALLAND/redpill-lkm.git : Redpill module branch : develop Extensions : Extensions URL : TOOLKIT_URL : https://sourceforge.net/projects/dsgpl/files/toolkit/DSM7.0/ds.broadwell-7.0.dev.txz/download TOOLKIT_SHA : e050987fbbab0c246aff2af935b1d8a4140ce490915aa4c92f3c8d163eea970c SYNOKERNEL_URL : https://sourceforge.net/projects/dsgpl/files/Synology NAS GPL Source/25426branch/broadwell-source/linux-3.10.x.txz/download SYNOKERNEL_SHA : d3e85eb80f16a83244fcae6016ab6783cd8ac55e3af2b4240455261396e1e1be COMPILE_METHOD : toolkit_dev TARGET_PLATFORM : broadwell TARGET_VERSION : 7.0.1 TARGET_REVISION : 42218 REDPILL_LKM_MAKE_TARGET : dev-v7 Checking Internet Access -> OK Checking if a newer version exists on the repo -> Version is current Cloning into 'redpill-lkm'... remote: Enumerating objects: 1055, done. remote: Counting objects: 100% (1055/1055), done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (502/502), done. remote: Total 1055 (delta 727), reused 874 (delta 546), pack-reused 0 Receiving objects: 100% (1055/1055), 449.38 KiB | 5.48 MiB/s, done.

Hello @Brunox, thank for your replying. I've found serveral posting from buggy25200 under the given link. Which post exactly do you mean? Sorry, but I still at the beginning with learning about this stuff.

Hello Guys, After having successfully managed to get my HP Microserver Gen8 running with a DS3615xs 7.0.1-42218 image, I would like to know if anyone has managed to get it running with DS3617xs on baremetal platform ? For me, I always fail at the point to install the related pat file. Thanks in advance

@profet: Thx, Meanwhile I've created a ds3615xs bootloader for my HP Microserver Gen8 and everything works well. Furthermore I know that there is a bug with the USB PID/VID recognition for the Redpill image of the ds3617xs. I found some discussion about it in another thread. Most likely the problem comes from the fact that after booting the ID's are read incorrectly. I hope this will be fixed soon. All in all, I am very excited about this community.

Hi Community, Meanwhile, booting from USB and creating tinycore-redpill boot image(for DS3617xs) for my HP Microserver Gen8 are working well. Thanks for the hint with BalenaEther and the partions to set active the partion. Now DSM loader boots ok, However when uploading the pat file(ds3617xs_42218.pat) I always getting an error telling me the file is probably defect , while uploading to the NAS? I arleady have replaced the USB key and checked the PID/VID. Nothing was working..... Is there anyone with the same problem, or knows what else I can try to solve the problem ? Unfortunately; I've think found so far . Thanks in advanvce.

Thx Dfds. I'll try it out, if the backup of my current server config has been finished.

@profet: I'm also running DSM version DSM 6.2.3-25426 with my HP Microserver Gen8 and want to ugrade to v7.0.1-42218. Unfortunately, I have a problem to get my HP Microserver Gen8 booting from my USB stick with tinycore-redpill image. Booting from USB with the Jun's Loader v1.03b DS3617xs works well. Also, the stick works on my laptop. Only the microserver does not want to boot from it. I have already tried several USB drives and SD card. How exactly did you get the Microserver Gen8 to boot from USB tinycore-redpill image ? Are there any specific BIOS option to be taken into account? THX
