On the N54L onboard nic was not working anymore after 6.2.3 I didn't, but from 6.3.x onwards, the extra.lzma is not needed as some parts of DSM were reverted to those before 6.2.x if I understood correctly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking about 1.04b loader DS918+ or keep 1.03b with DS3615xs like the N54L... Can you give me your opinion ? I also need an HP NC360T with this Gen8 I guess ? Thank you The Gen8 can't use the 1.04b loader as it's too old, stick with 1.03b. As for the internal nic it works fine with 6.2.3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentat Posted June 20, 2021 Share #128 Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) I have a Microserver Gen8 + Intel NIC and Xenon Processor - Intel Xeon E3-1265L V2 DS3615xs Current DSM version: DSM 6.2.3-25426 Update 3 DSM 6.2.4-25556 is available for download, but as the dedicated threads tells, update to 25554 of newer 25556 fail. So, is the end of the road for this hardware? Edited June 20, 2021 by Mentat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentat Posted June 20, 2021 Share #130 Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) Ok, so we (with gen8) are stuck on DSM 6.2.3-25426 Update 3 for ever? Edited June 20, 2021 by Mentat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can see on this forum that people are looking in to it. Others may be looking at it and not being public about what they are doing. In the past the "developers" have waited until the new release becomes rolled out widely before disclosing their work. So we can't say that there will never be a new loader that takes Xpenology forward but equally we can't say that there will be one. We certainly can't say when. I have independently decided to stay on 6.2.3 on my genuine Synology boxes for the time being as 7 is a major upgrade and 6.2.4 seems to have some of 7 backported. It all works at the moment and if ain't broke ...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentat Posted July 28, 2021 Share #132 Posted July 28, 2021 Quick question, as I need to congigure an Gen8 for a friend. Do I need an Intel NIC to install and run DSM 6.2.3-25426 Update 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostivv Posted January 14, 2022 Share #134 Posted January 14, 2022 am I the only one struggling with all this setups? I can install 6.2 and 23739 but still scratching head trying to install 6.2.3 update 3. I've gone through all the replies here but failing to understand the process. Anyone kindly pls post a complete idiot steps to upgrade? It's a clean install so don't need to worry about losing data. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostivv Posted January 14, 2022 Share #135 Posted January 14, 2022 ignore...I'm an idiot. For future ref to myself, pat file was wrong. I was trying with update 3 (small size 45MB) directly without 6.2.3-25426 (around 273MB). Trying to copy data from old HD. The speed currently is 50MB/sec over wired connection. Is is slow? 3 and half hrs for less than 2TB!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These all would be required to assess what is happening. If your source drive is very old, that throughput may be plausible, but that is pretty slow.

jj-lolo Posted March 14, 2022 Share #137 Posted March 14, 2022 I'm currently running a gen 8 with a Xeon E3-1265L V2 and DSM 6.2.3/esxi 7 but considering changing it to a bare metal machine due to issues shutting it down automatically without corruption 1. By reading this thread, is this the best config for me? I do use plex etc. 1.03b 3615XS DSM 6.2.3-25426 Update 3 2. Can I install to an SD card and use the onboard reader? i.e. does this cause issues reading VID/PID? 3. Any other tips for first time baremetal config? Thanks!

Mentat Posted March 14, 2022 Share #138 Posted March 14, 2022 You are correct! Put the img file on the microsd and edit the cfg file with the correct values for microsd VID 0x0424 - PID 0x4030 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentat Posted May 19, 2022 Share #144 Posted May 19, 2022 I've managed to install 7.0.1, but I cannot upgrade to 7.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boris blank Posted July 7, 2022 Share #145 Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) @Mentat Lol, I did a dummy run using a spare Hard Drive and the update to 7.01 worked perfectly. Put my four data packed HD's back into the HPGen8, re-ran the whole loader/update process and it failed totally! Took a while to get everything back the way it was with 6.2.3 . I think I was lucky to actually keep all my data intact. I won't be trying again any time soon, had a real WTF moment plus gained a few grey hairs. I'll re-visit it at some point but I've had a gig enough scare to put me off for a while. Well done for getting it done. Personally I'd sit tight on 7.01, likely further loader development might get you to 7.1 and beyond, if its working fine then I'd step back for a while and watch for further developments. I have the same Xeon processor as yourself but have the Intel NIC which was required to do specific updates a while back, appears like its not necessary now though. Good luck with whatever you do and whilst I'm here, many thanks to all the developers - great job, really appreciate your efforts!
