after this it dropped off and was not able to see it again. I really thought I had it fixed :( I also looked at the VERSION file in etc and etc.defaults. I'm at a total loss now if anyone has any hints or clues that would be great?

 

i edited a little with a comment what could happen if you had a 6.2.1/6.2.2 dsm before, is that case the often used extended special made (for 6.2.2) extra/extra2 will often prevent the system from loader drivers, it would also need extra/extra2 for 6.2.3 in that case

in general its best to have a serial cable (null-modem-cable) to monitor the console with putty in serial mode, you would see drivers loading or crashing and even if network drivers failed you would be able to login local on the console after boot and check with "dmesg"

 

if the version files in /etc and /etc.defaults are showing 6.2.3 it should be ok (i guess the one in /etc would be overwritten on next boot so the one in /etc.defaults is the important one), if both VERSION files are 6.2.3 then look for the extra.lzma on the loader and replace it with either jun#s original or my newer one made for 6.2.3

Gen8 does not have a db9 serial port for use with a null modem cable. It only has the rj45 ilo port.

 

@IG-88I used VSP from ILO and get the following:

pretty sure you will not be the last

 

download a rescue/live linux like system rescue cd (i used a "older" version 6.0.3, mdadm and lvm worked ootb, any newer should be fine too), transfer it to a usb (not your dsm boot usb) to boot from it


assemble your raid1 system partition like here (1st partitions of all disks as /dev/md0)

skip anything about swap or volume1 data partition, we only need access to the dsm system partiton
https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/7004-tutorial-how-to-access-dsms-data-system-partitions/

 

mount the assembled raid1 to /mnt with this


mount /dev/md0 /mnt

 

then remove some files with this


rm -rf /mnt/SynoUpgradePackages
rm -f /mnt/SynoUpgrade.tar
rm -f /mnt/SynoUpgradeindex.txz
rm -f /mnt/SynoUpgradeSynohdpackImg.txz
rm -f /mnt/checksum.syno
rm -f /mnt/.syno/patch/*

 

and shutdown the linux


shutdown -h now

 

now you will have to restore the kernel files on your boot usb to 6.2.3 (the udpate also replace files on the loaders 2nd partition)

win10 can have some difficulties with mounting the 2nd partitons of the loader, so look here
https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/29872-tutorial-mount-boot-stick-partitions-in-windows-edit-grubcfg-add-extralzma/

(it can also be done with linux but i have not tried what other tools will extract the kernel files but if you are familiar with linux you will find out

https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/25833-tutorial-use-linux-to-create-bootable-xpenology-usb/)

 

on 2nd partition delete all files except extra.lzma and extra2.lzma (if its 3615/3617 then its just extra.lzma)
use 7zip to open "DSM_xxxxx_25426.pat" (dsm 6.2.3 install file, depends on you dsm type 3615/3617/918+)

 extract "rd.gz" and "zImage" and copy it to the 2nd partition of your xpenology usb

<edit>

the assumption here is you already had 6.2.3 before the 6.2.4 udpate try, if not you would use the kernel files from the *.pat of the 6.2.x you had installed

as a example what could go wrong: if you had 6.2.2 and did 6.2.4 your extra/extra2.lzma on the loader where usually replaced with special ones made for 6.2.2, if you add 6.2.3 kernel files to the 6.2.2 extra/extra2 (drivers) then most of the drivers will not work as of the incompatibility with 6.2.1/6.2.2 with 6.2.0/6.2.3

if you are unsure about the extra/extra2 or you dsm version then use the original extra/extra2 from jun's loader (img file can be opened with 7zip, loaders kernel files and drivers in its extra/extra2 are 6.2.0 level) or use a extended version of the extra/extra2 made for 6.2.3 and use the kernel files of 6.2.3 if you had a older 6.2.x that would do a update to 6.2.3

</edit>

 

put back your usb to the xpenology system, boot up, find it in network (i used synology assistant) and migrate to version 6.2.3 (aka reinstall 6.2.3)
it will boot two times, one for 6.2.3, 2nd for 6.2.3_U3 (it will be downloaded automatically if internet connection is present)

 

everything should be back to normal except patches like nvme ssd patch (or other stuff you patched after installing 6.2.3 that is not dsm update resistant)

if that all works you i will  make a new thread in the tutorial section because if synology starts offering 6.2.4 with the web update there will be more people asking for a fix to come back to 6.2.3

please comment on how to make it easier to follow, its just a short version i tried once

 

if that sounds all to complicated then its still possible to use the other downgrade method (but you will loos all settings and end with a factory default DSM)

https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/12778-tutorial-how-to-downgrade-from-62-to-61-recovering-a-bricked-system/

 

 

It was my own fault. I completely forgot everything I know about change management and hit update on my live servers, only to watch both of them get bricked. Damn!  In my defence, I was still suffering from a rather nasty bout of gastric flu, but it does make me question whether I should turn in my ITIL certification...

 

Anyway, massive thanks to you @IG-88, I followed your process on both servers and they are now happily whirring away again.  I'll keep an eye on them to make sure nothing untoward happens, but so far, so good.  In my local parlance, you, sir, are a flippin' legend!

Thanks @IG-88

I guess now I just need to work out which Slot is which in my Microserver as far as DSM is concerned and transfer everything to the genuine 1815+ that is sitting in my wardrobe that I've just never got round to moving the drives to for fear of everything crashing.

 

The recovery worked amazingly well - the only issue I encountered were my bonded ethernet ports - I had to move to a single port on my switch, then put the 4 cables back in their original switch port and reboot, after that everything came back up.

 

Once again, thanks for the information and I hope that soon we can get an EFI loader that works but I don't think it will be me who manages to do it :)

I did the upgrade from 6.2.3u3 to 6.2.4 like a noob.

On the morning I received the mail from Syno telling me there is an update available.

I checked the ReleaseNotes, meh it's just a minor upgrade let's do it.

Totally forgot to check the forum before applying the upgrade.

 

Thank you so much @IG-88 for your guide on how to downgrade to 6.2.3u3 !

The links you provide to other guides made your explanations really complete.

I personally do not see how to make it more clear.

 

I just had a doubt about deleting this file :

Citation

rm -f /mnt/SynoUpgradeindex.txz

It was  not present on my disk but there was  file named SynoUpgradeIndexAAA.txz (AAA = something I don't remembre -_-')

I juste assumed it was the same and deleted it ending with no more file named /mnt/Syno...

 

Thanks again, you made my DS918+ back online without loosing data or configuration :-)

I followed these instruction and then tried to use the DSM_DS3615xs_25426.pat file on the "Migration: Keep my data and most of the settings" step but it keeps telling me the following..

 

You have to use an installation file of 6.2.4-25556 or later. (10)

 

there is a new thread in tutorials

https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/42765-how-to-undo-a-unfinished-update-623-to-624-no-boot-after-1st-step-of-update/

 

main points beside deleting the update files are to reset/delete the two VERSION files on disk AND reset the zImage and rd.gz on the loader to the 6.2.3 versions

the rd.gz on the loader also contains a VERSION file, the loader checks the VERSION files on the loader and on disk and if one is still 6.2.4 it will not downgrade
