DS3617xs 6.2 23739 update 2?


Recommended Posts

Im unable to install anything pass 6.2. I need to know what is the latest security update to 6.2 and where can I find it? I know there is 6.2.1 and 6.2.2, but my system will not install those doesnt matter if im using ds3615xs or ds3617xs.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank in advance. Oh, and Ive searched the Synology archives and it only gives me the ds3617xs 23739 and not the update 1-4.

Hi,

 

if you havent already tried: you could use https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/21663-driver-extension-jun-103b104b-for-dsm622-for-3615xs-3617xs-918/ which made it possible to use the HP Gen8 MicroServer as it contains working drivers. 

 

There wont be anymore updates for 6.1.7 so your system will have security issues which can be maybe ignored if its only a system in a local network.

I did try that and couldnt install past 6.2. I had 103b and 4 installed to which nothing with the 4b worked.  And the only thing that worked was 6.2 3b ds3617xs. Anything past 6.2 (6.2.1 and 6.2.2) wouldnt boot so something is missing from it.

with the link above there is no past 6.2, you will have to use the driver (that are mode for 6.2.2) copy the zImage and rd.gz from 6.2.2 (from *.pat file v24222) to the loader and you hve to install 6.2.2/v24922 pat file, no steps or anything the drivers in that extra.lzma will only work with 6.2.2 anr the same goes for the drivers jun packt with loader 1.03b, they are not working with 6.2.2

you should at least be able to boot and find it in network and synology assistant should show as version a 24922

(i cant see storage you use but i guess when its working with 6.1 it should work with 6.2.2 too)

You would think of it work for 6.1.7 it would work for 6.2.2. It sucks that I've had so much trouble with it. Either way I will have to try and do a mode or something in order to get it to work. It looks like the update for the software I have is put of date. Oh I did make a mistake on my earlier post, when trying to install 6.2.1 or 6.2.2, it does boot and able to locate, but when I try to get it to install it goes through the process and never is located again

i can only encourage you to try

 

there are alternatives to DSM too, if you want to try something different then open media vault is a good option, you can boot up from 1 additional/external media and it will recognize the dsm raid partitions (synology uses mdadm and lvm, thats normal linux software raid), it should be using the btrfs file system (but will not offer btrfs when creating a new, but that can be done manually if needed)

it's my fallback option if dsm fails and a really want to access my data over network (omv does support all the basic nas stuff dsm does and has plugins too, much less hassle when it comes to drivers as its just a normal open source linux distribution - xpenology is a hacked dsm appliance and has its shortcomings and synology is not offering proper kernel source for its gpl based system)

That particular server has been up on 6.1.x since October 2017.  It's a pretty complicated build, so I haven't rushed to upgrade it, although I think all its services are now supportable on 1.03b and DSM 6.2.2.

 

The only inbound services on my network are IP and port firewalled VPN termination points and a guacamole (remote access proxy) server. Personally, I wouldn't ever expose a Synology server directly to the Internet for any reason. Therefore, I don't have too much heartburn about the latest security patches not being available.  Even on 6.2.2, Synology lags so far behind core OS support, I'm not sure it matters all that much.

I appreciate that. Ill have to take some things into consideration.  I've never used open media, but I have used freenas before, however you really have to know your stuff to work your way around it.  May do a vm to play around with it again to see if I really want to make a switch or just stick with DSM 617.  In the mean time, I need to figure out another problem.  Why is Virtual Machine Manager reserving 8gb out of the 10gb i have for the system?  Leaving vm to fail every time i try to turn it on. Anyway, Ive already posted that question.  Anyway, thanks again.  You guys leaving me with some good ideas to think about.
