dhirenmehta Posted May 21, 2015 Share #1 Posted May 21, 2015 Hi Folks, I'm a little confused on what the process is to upgrade the XPEnoboot version from 5.1-5022.3 to 5.1-5055.1 to allow me to update the DSM version from DSM 5.1-5022 Update 5 to DSM 5.1-5055. Can anyone help? Am currently running XPEnology on VMware ESXi on my Microserver Gen 8. Cheers, Dee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berwhale Posted May 21, 2015 Share #2 Posted May 21, 2015 I've tested the upgrade on my Hyper-V VM (I run my main servers on physical boxes)... Steps to test... 1. Shutdown DSM. 2. Replaced the old bootloader with the new ISO in the VM settings (this is equivalent to creating a new USB key for a physical installation) 3. Booted VM and selected Install/Upgrade in the bootloader. 4. Accessed DSM web interface from SynologyAssistant, selected Install/Upgrade, then Manual and pointed it at the PAT file download from above. 5. Install progressed smoothly and everything looks fine in the resulting DSM install. I'm not sure if I needed to do the install/upgrade or if I could have let DSM upgrade itself, but the above process worked. You can download the 5055 PAT file and new bootloader here: http://xpenology.me/downloads/ Regards, Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thecapri Posted May 22, 2015 Share #3 Posted May 22, 2015 For me was almost the same 1. shutdown the nas 2. Put new usb key (it is physical installation) 3. Booted the nas in normal not in install/upgrade mode 4. Login in your nas 5. Go to control panel and click on update & restore, in there do the manual installation. 6. Your nas will reboot and voila all is done. Did this on my 2 nas Hope this help some and thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty Posted May 23, 2015 Share #5 Posted May 23, 2015 I skipped a bunch of that doing mine. Put new USB stick in currently running NAS, update, reboot, done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
