[HELP - Cant log in to DSM via browser after upgrade]

What did you update from, and to?

 

This is the expected symptom if you upgrade from 5.1.x to 5.2 without changing your XPEnoboot image.

[DSM 5.2-5565 Update 2]

No issues with HTTPS here, but I am using a cert that was generated by my CA rather than by the box itself.

 

I did however have to give the box a power-cycle.

[XPEnoboot 5.2.5565.2 install/upgrade problem]

So, I've got a generic x86-64 build running as a DS3615xs. It was running fine as 5.1, I stupidly upgraded to 5.2 and now have many many issues that I seem unable to resolve no matter how many times I read the threads pertaining to the upgrade procedure. Can't use the storage manager, still get lots of "patch not found" errors on boot, etc.

 

I thought the simplest way "forward" would be to downgrade again, but I seem unable to. If I boot from my old XPEnoboot (5.1.5022.3) media, and choose to install/upgrade, I can happily boot into the wizard to perform a migration, but the procedcure fails with an error about needing to use version 5565 or later. I have already edited my /etc/VERSION using vi, it currently contains:

 

majorversion="5"
minorversion="1"
buildphase="hotfix"
buildnumber="5021"
smallfixnumber="0"
builddate="2014/11/12"

 

So I thought about trying to reinstall 5.2.5565 (and then reinstall update 1) by booting from my XPEnoboot 5.2.5565.2 media, but no matter how many times I try, selecting the "install/upgrade" mode from the bootmenu results in the machine booting normally, rather than in install mode!?

 

Am I missing something obvious as to why I can't boot to install/upgrade mode with 5.2?

 

Am I missing something else (that's also obvious) about my inability to downgrade DSM?

 

Alternatively, am I missing something regarding fixing my storage manager / missing patch problems?

 

Many Thanks guys!
