albruno Posted January 18, 2021 Share #1 Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) By mistake, on an HP Proliant gen8, I upgraded the system to version 6.01, trough the dsm upgrade. I have old bootloader for 5.2. Of course now the NAS no longer starts and I don't know what to do. He doesn't remember anything more than what I did in the previous 5.2 installation. I would be grateful if you could guide me step by step on how to recover this mess. Edited January 18, 2021 by albruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Migration upgrade with new bootloader == in-place upgrade, boot failure, then boot with new bootloader Bootloader must be configured either way. Not sure how that is simpler than the tutorial procedure. You will have xpenoboot file problem however that will need a quick fix.

Not sure how that is simpler than the tutorial procedure. he might need to restore/rebuild his old loader and as dsm is not starting anymore, he would need to use a recovery linux, assemble the raid1 system partitions and change the version file and after that he ends up with a massively outdated 5.2 system and no knowledge about 6.x that will help him later seems better to invest the time in getting 6.0 up and deciding about to repeat the steps used for 6.0 to get 6.2 up and running (no difference in preparing jun#s loader for 6.0 or 6.2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i make a usb loader 6.01, can i boot the dsm? I have no monitor and so i need something i pull in usb and then can do anything trough the net. I have only 1 HDD inside and no raid Edited January 19, 2021 by albruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albruno Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share #8 Posted January 19, 2021 Thank you very much. Another question: i have not monitor and keyboard, how can i install dsm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyride Posted January 19, 2021 Share #9 Posted January 19, 2021 There is no monitor or keyboard on Synology units. They are not required for DSM. You know this already from DSM 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albruno Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share #10 Posted January 19, 2021 I know that. When i istalled the 5 versione i used monitor and keyboard for select xpenology installation in grub. I dont need it in version 6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyride Posted January 19, 2021 Share #11 Posted January 19, 2021 If you configure grub by modifying the loader, no keyboard or monitor is needed on the DSM device (which is what the directions state, and most people do). Optionally you may interact with grub at boot time, and in that case, you will need a keyboard and monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont need it in version 6? with 6.x there is noting on the monitor then the grub selection and you only need the defaut (1st entry) there is no console output, that goes all to the serial port so even with keyboard and monitor, there is nothing you would need it for, only in rare case of the special reinstall option you would need to select something in grub (if you scroll through the grub.cfg you will see the menu options of grub in the lower area) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
