The process I used to update my G7 N54L Server (going from 5.1-5055 Update 5 to 5.2-5565 Update 1)

 

Power Down Server

Take out usb boot drive and update with latest boot image / re-insert usb drive

Power On

Select XPEnology DSM 5.2-5565 top boot option NOT debug or install/upgrade option

wait for it to boot

log in via web browser

Download DSM 5.2-5565.pat from http://www.xpenology.nl/xpenology-software/

update and let it reboot

log back in via web browser

go to control panel - update and restore, check for updates, let it download and install update 1

wait for it to reboot

Done

For those who made th Update to 5.2-5565 Update 1 and can't access the dsm:

 

1. First to get access

1. Login as root

2. type su

3. ifconfig eth0

- I only had a ip v6 adress -> so no connection

4. type ifconfig eth0 #IPofNAS# netmask 255.255.255.0 up -> now you can connect via browser on the given ip

5. Login in DSM in Browser

6. Goto "Controlcenter" -> "Network"

- Check the settings on your NIC "LAN1" and tourn off ipv6

- I have set the ip to static

 

Don't reboot!!!

 

 

 

2. Now you can Trry to downgrade (migration install) - to keep your app's and configs

 

- Ive done the steps here "http://xpenology.me/how-to-downgrade-from-dsm-5-2/" but ive installed the "DSM 5.2-5565" from here "http://xpenology.me/downloads/"

 

- After the migration install iam up an running and everthing seems fin now :smile:

 

Dont update again or the dsm will got the same errors!!!!

 

 

Hope this is a help

 

3. Think about a clean install / test system

So why not upgrade? Thats what I normally do during upgrades. If I don't select update do i lose my apps?

Thanks. N

Ok, so update...

After several reboots and attempts at different fixes, I was able to use the "ifconfig eth0 netmask up" command, along with setting the Version# back, along with Install/Upgrade boot... finally Synology Assistant sees the nas, and attempts to write 5.2.5665 to it... even so it Still doesn't come up with an IP by itself, so once again I manually set it using the ifconfig command... and Im now finally able to log into the DSM.

 

Now, Im looking at doing a Clean Install to fix this mess... I thought I read someone mentioning an ability to perform a clean install while maintaining the Data on the drives, but I can't find that information now. I'm cleaning out my data to prepare for a full backup if Im told that a clean backup is Going to be destructive.... but let me know if Im wrong.

 

Thanks for the help and suggestions ya'll (especially hackerjac and crowpet)

There must be one bug with out HP machines

i can ping my server but webservices are offline

 

only this helps:

. Login as root

2. type su

3. ifconfig eth0

4. type ifconfig eth0 #IPofNAS# netmask 255.255.255.0 up -> now you can connect via browser on the given ip

5. Login in DSM in Browser

 

then the Webinterface is reachable,

and shows a error "Dienst [Web Station service] konnte nicht gestartet werden. Bitte kontaktieren Sie den Synology Kundendienst, um Unterstützung zu erhalten."

 

whats wrong with our machines?

Are all apps in example Audio Statio, Video Station working correctly?

Bacuse on mine HP N40L XPeno, all apps are disabled and I can't start them.

 

 

EDIT: Resource monitor doesn't work anymore. :sad:

 

For previous updates I needed to reboot 2-3 times before all things were back to normal. The disabled apps was one of the things that was resolved in this way.

 

Hope it helps.

I solved mine "no-eth-connection problem" only by following these steps:

1. Login as root

2. type su

3. ifconfig eth0

4. type ifconfig eth0 IPofNAS netmask 255.255.255.0 up -> now you can connect via browser on the given ip

5. Login in DSM in Browser

Yes this works, but not after a reboot (for me anyway)
