yud Posted June 30, 2016 #1 Posted June 30, 2016 Hi, Sorry if this has been asked before, I think my situation is a bit different and I need some advice. Currently running DSM 5.2-5565 Update 2 on ESXi 6 on HP Microserver Gen8. I think my XPEnoboot version is 5.1-5022, but I'm not sure (is there an easy way to check without a reboot?) My EPEnology storage is on 2 x 3TB in RAID1 (hardware array controller in the Microserver) and is mapped with RDM. I'd like to upgrade because I like having the latest and the greatest. (but not at all costs...) So: Should I upgraded to the latest 5.2? or Should I upgrade to DSM 6? and: is the upgrade simple? or do I need to jump through hoops? do I also need to upgrade XPEnoboot in either case? should I keep RDM? or just wipe it and go with a standard VM storage? If the recommendation is to upgrade I will appreciate a link to a simple guide. Thanks. Y.
sbv3000 Posted June 30, 2016 #2 Posted June 30, 2016 DSM 6 NO! its not working yet with XPE boot If you are already on a DSM 5.2 version then your upgrade of the XPE boot should be simple. Just create a 5.2.5644 boot drive and reboot. Its always good practice to backup data before any 'major surgery' anyway
