sinnuendo Posted April 14, 2014 Share #2 Posted April 14, 2014 Hi Scoobdriver, I have successfully migrated from Trantor DSM 5-4418 Beta to Gnoboot DSM5 update 2. I was urged to do this because of the Heartbleed vulnerability. I followed this guide to upgrade to Gnoboot DSM5 10.5, then applied updated 2 to bring me up to the latest version. http://cyanlabs.co.uk/news/install-xpen ... thout-esxi Cheers Sinnuendo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't try it out yourself? XPEnology won't harm your data before you perform install action. Simply try if your device will boot up with gnoboot and whether it is reachable from lan.

I also have Sickbeard, Sabnzb, Plex installed and they continued to work after the upgrade with no mishaps. When I launched Synology Assistant, it came up with a status of "Migratable" Cheers Sinnuendo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
