Struggling with update to 6.2.3 on ESXi


StanG

Question

I'm really struggling with the update of my production XPEnology system to 6.2.3

Model: DS3617XS with loader1.03b

Virtual (VM) on ESXi 6.7

DSM currently on: 6.2.2

updating to 6.2.3 via automatic update in control panel.

 

I had previously replaced the extra.lzma when updating to 6.2.2 because of problems with VMXNET3 after that update.

From reading the topics, I need to revert back to the original extra.lzma in the loader1.03b.

 

So what I've done.

1) Started the update in control panel.

2) When the VM reboots, I shut it down.

3) Edit the synoboot.img with OSFMOUNT, replace the files: rd.gz, extra.lzma and delete the synochecksum files.

4) Put the changed synoboot.img back on the VM.

5) Boot the VM.

6) Using serial connection I see some upgrade actions, and then errors after ==== start udevd =====

And then it hangs on that last line

[   57.838085] VMware vmxnet3 virtual NIC driver - version 1.1.30.0-k-NAPI

 

And nothing happens further. DS Assistant does not see the XPEnology.

 

If I change the NIC to E1000e instead of VMXNET3 the XPEnology boots further and I can login on serial but there is no NIC only "lo" when I do ifconfig.

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks for your help

As you state, vmxnet3 does NOT work with 6.2.2 out of the box.  Therefore e1000e was the only virtual NIC dialect possible for those versions.

Why don't you just switch your vNIC to e1000e before upgrade, use a clean loader before starting the upgrade, and then change it to something else after you have completed your upgrade?

 

The upgrade is editing the loader partitions when you start it from the GUI.  If you are changing it mid-stream, you're breaking it.  This is not how it's done.

 

You have a test platform, start with the simplest solutions possible and see how they can be adapted to your production system.
