PSP91 Posted April 19, 2016 #1 Posted April 19, 2016 hi guys im currently running on DSM 5.2 5592 an just wanting to know if it's best to go up too the latest version available that been the DSM 5.2 5644 Update 5 / 8 and if so is it safe to do the jump? or go up each version / update individually or should i wait for DSM 6 and then do the jump what's your thoughts guys?? Cheers
brantje Posted April 19, 2016 #2 Posted April 19, 2016 It 'should' be safe. I recommand testing your upgrade in a VM. Posted via Xpenology.us
PSP91 Posted April 19, 2016 Author #3 Posted April 19, 2016 thanks for the reply dude i have no idea on VM but i understand its going to be a feature in DSM6 ?? think il just upgrade one at a time probably safest way
TBK Posted April 20, 2016 #4 Posted April 20, 2016 brantje is suggesting that you create a test VM for installing the updates, it has nothing to do with DSM6. The DSM6 feature is to run virtual DSM machines (guests) on a DSM box (host - bare metal). You don't have to install all the updates individually. Just grab the latest. Why are yo not using 5.2-5644?

Why are yo not using 5.2-5644? yeah i know what brantje was saying but like i said i have no idea on doing / creating a VM an i'm not on 5644 as when i came out there was issues with it to start with an mine was working fine so went on the if it's not broke don't fix it theory, but obviously updates / bootloaders came out and solved the issues but i didn't upgrade as i was busy doing other things but im free again to do the upgrade now you reckon going straight to DSM 5.2 5644 update 5 will be fine ??
TBK Posted April 22, 2016 #6 Posted April 22, 2016 Try to download Oracle VM VIrtualBox and play around with it, a hypervisor is a useful and powerful tool with many use cases. HowTos can be found via google. Update to 5.2-5644 then apply update 5 or 8.
