Svenman2 Posted November 18, 2018 Share #1 Posted November 18, 2018 (edited) Hi everybody, I'm still quite new with XPEnology but I've been running the summer vacation on an old PC. At the bottom you will find the PC information. Today I wanted to update my XPEnology PC. I quickly arrived at the Forum that v1.02 is not suitable for DSM 6.2! so looking for which version I ran now and Jun V1.02 with DSM 6.1.6-15266 update 1. Then the last version of DSM 6.2.1-23824 and JUNV1.03B after I did this I went to the installation procedure to follow, so put new USB in there JUN and PC restart and put I want DSM 6.2.1-23824 and PC reboot okay everything seems good to this point! I can not see my NAS coming online with an IP address !!!! so panic of what now. In doing so, I first went to see if I could go back to a previous version of DSM, unfortunately I could not get an IP address with every reboot of a recovery. Then JUN version went back the same story. Then I tried after hours and searched for this link Here were some tips that I have followed and I succeeded and I now run on version DSM 6.2-23739 with last JUN V1.03B Steps I have taken (YOU HAVE ALL YOUR APPS LOST BUT DATA REMAINS ON DISKS) 1) Disconnect all disks 2) Connect a spare HDD to SATA port 1 3) reinstall USB with JUN V1.03B and download DSM DSM 6.2-23739, create an administrator user and a server name that matches the live system, do NOT make volume / raid. (Update DSM with your pre-beta version) 4) Shut down, reconnect raid drives to SATA ports 2-n 5) Restart, log in, go to Storage Manager there you can fix partitions on raid, Check if all your data is visible again and switch off NAS. 6) Remove backup HDD and reconnect raid drives to SATA ports 1-n 7) Start your NAS, Login and check your data. 8) Turn off automatic update. I also updated from DSM 6.2-23739 to DSM 6.2.1-23824 while attempting to repair my NAS AND THAT'S NOT WELL !! DO NOT UPDATE !! OLD PC SPEC JUN Versie V1.03B DSM Versie 6.2-23739 XPEnology Model DS3617xs CPU Intel Xeon D-1527 CPU clock rate 2.5 GHz CPU Cores 4 RAM 5120 MB HHD 2x 1 TB + 1x 4TB I hope you have some information about this, how you can update and downgrade and what you should not do. If anyone has any questions, I would love to hear it. Best regards, Svenman2 Edited November 18, 2018 by Svenman2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threska960 Posted November 18, 2018 Share #2 Posted November 18, 2018 I suspect quite a few will be doing this. The upgrade warning in the upper right of the forum should have a link to this. Also it would be interesting somewhere on the forum having a technical analysis of what's going on. "Official drivers" indeed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threska960 Posted November 20, 2018 Share #3 Posted November 20, 2018 I should make one important point. Your process requires that the array be complete. If it takes four disks then that what needs to be moved. Anything less and "repair" will not show up. The spare HDD on SATA 1 is more a limitation of the BIOS and what's bootable. Also for those who have an HP Prolient 40L the internal bays left to right are 0-1-2-3. Anyway I'm almost tempted to call this latest "upgrade" a virus. More because it's difficult to get rid of, than put on. Next step (for me) is file recovery. More possible when discussing an array, but still a PITA.

haydibe Posted November 25, 2018 Share #4 Posted November 25, 2018 The injected XPE drivers stopped working with DSM6.2.1. The VMware SATA virtual controller is supported in DSM 6.2.1. the Intel 1000e vNic is also supported. The only source for trouble are sata controllers passed into vm using direct-io.

d0man Posted June 26, 2019 Share #5 Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) would this method also work with JBOD array?I have tried few times but no luck, fresh install and config on spare drive but once I remove the spare new hdd , after reboot it always comes back with RECOVER but this fails to show up after a reboot with the spare drive either connected and not connected. next I will try manually format small 2.3GB first partition on original array drives and reinstall from fresh USB loader Edited June 26, 2019 by d0man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0man Posted June 27, 2019 Share #6 Posted June 27, 2019 I can confirm this has worked like a charm , no need having clean drive and swaping installation drives , this did not worked for me at all. simply boot your NAS with GParted live usb or similar ,and format each 2.37GB partition to ext3(don't touch any other partitions!!), then boot again with fresh usb , I had old 6.1 1.02b before and went straight to 6.2 1.03b , select 2nd option on the bootloader screen , feed PAT file via browser and boom all your stuff is back even on JBOD setup!!
