yaqushi Posted January 28, 2014 #1 Posted January 28, 2014 Hi there, new here, its a great project. I have been reading couple of threads, and have a question for the update procedure: Once DSM 4.3 is installed via real USB stick (no VMWare) on dedicated server, how do you guys update the DSM version? The inbuild software update in the DSM GUI does not work (this was mentioned before here), but I cannot figure out how to update to a newer version. E.g. when downloading a pat file from DSM and trying to do manual update using the DSM GUI, error message with "error 2" occurs. If I try to patch a new USB stick, the Synology Assistant tells me that system is running already, there is no option to install a new pat file. Hope someone can clarify this quickly on how to update a new pat file. Cheers, Y.

Hi, what kind of update you intend? if you want update for exampe from 4.3-3810 to 4.3-3810 update 1, search on forum howto, if you want update from 4.3 to 5.0 beta, may you cant, not all packages from 4.3 are available for 5.0, so, you can break your sistem.

whiendlmayer Posted January 30, 2014 #9 Posted January 30, 2014 The DSM 5 beta works like a charm. Super fast/easy/secure update process. Upgraded from 4.3 U4. When boot from USB with beta 5, the system detect a possibility of Migration Mode. No SA nedded. The upgrade can be made from web interface. All configuration stays. All data stays. All apps request upgrade, but stays. One encrypted folder doesn't open anymore, however, this folder hasn't nothing important. If you have encrypted folder, take care, i don't know if its a rule. After 12 hours, all working fine. Thank you all for the project !!

setch Posted January 31, 2014 #15 Posted January 31, 2014 I just updated from 4.3 to V5 using trantor's release and no issues encountered. I did not lose any data or configuration settings, I just had to update several packages after the upgrade, but I was immediately shown which packages need to be updated. In a nutshell, painless, even updated to the Update 1 that is available. Setch
