Did you use WEBUI when building the loader?
WEBUI is known to operate as withfriend by default.
If you built the loader with a command using the console, try converting it to FRIEND by adding more withfriends as well.
FRIEND is much less likely to encounter a 58% file corruption message than the conventional method without withfriend.

 

Now it's like this:

Ок,

Downloaded the latest TCRP image today.
Started it up and did all the actions from the HTML.

The screenshot says "Failed to install file. File may be corrupted".

PAT file DSM_DS3617xs_42962.pat is original, downloaded from Synology website.

Is this a proxmox VM ? Did you use the PAT file that you downloaded from Syno ? 

 

At 55% corrupted file the usb vid:pid is usually wrong and synoboot is not shimmed properly , can you check using http://yourip:7681 (root/no password) the existence of synoboot with fdisk -l ?  Also lsusb can be helpful.

It's not a Proxmox VM, it's a hardware server, just located far away and managed via IPMI.

The DS3615xs installed and updated successfully.

How can I now add a second mac and change the sn and mac to the real ones I have?
Over ssh to edit grub.cfg on a running system?

 

Also, how can I change dev mode to prod and close port 7681?

It will work on the real IP.

Feedback from a mac address issue that is not affected by the user_config.json settings:

 

I had tried ARPL on a machine, I had customized the SN & MAC before the build of the loader. After that, the tests were not conclusive (AMD processor causing a Kernel Panic), having finished my tests, I returned to my loves: TCRP.

 

When rebuilding the loader, I affected an S/N & MAC of a real Syno. At startup, in Synology Assistant I see that the old mac entered !!! Verification of GRUB: everything is OK, the mac address is the one entered when building the loader. Restart and again the wrong MAC...

 

To solve the problem I had to flash a usb stick again with arpl, boot on it and customize the mac address.

 

Upon reboot to TCRP, the new mac entered ARPL appeared. Also in Synology Assistant.

Same here with fresh build DSM_DS3622xs+_64570.pat on esxi 6.7.

DSM_DS3622xs+_42962.pat works as expected.

 

Booth builds are done with same snapshot.

Using the WEBUI and tinycore-redpill-uefi.v0.9.4.9.img I got a bare metal build operational. (Asus P9D-I serverboard / Xeon E3-1225v2)

However, Info Center- General page was completely empty (no info) and the USB-bootdrive was visible and accessible in File Explorer (as 3 devices)

 

Reverted back to tinycore-redpill-uefi.v0.9.4.8.img, used the manual SSH procedure (including updating loader) and all issues were resolved.

Hi @pocopico,

I tried to migrate a test machine (amd 64bit platform): 7.1.1 42962U5 -> 7.2 64570.

First, used shell commands: unable to create loader. The ALX module is incompatible with the requested version.

Then I tried with the WEBUI. The process worked, the server was detected and I was able to install DSM 7.2. On reboot, the server was in recoverable mode. I applied, on reboot I launched the built-in FRIEND function to rebuild the loader. It has detected an update and has rebuilt the charger.

After that, the server rebooted, but now the server is totally not found.

If I rebuild the loader (without the minor update) it is in recovery mode again, after repair the server reboots. If I don't apply the "postupdate" procedure from the grub menu, I stay in the loop. If I apply the procedure from the GRUB menu, the server becomes invisible.

The network card LEDs are both on, the server does not boot (no disk noise at boot). It displays the usual message on the screen...

 

I specify that the loader was built in static mode.

 

An idea ?

 

EDIT : i use TCRP v0.9.4.9c

This indicates a hardware issue, not related to the loader. Drives should allways spin up when machine starts/boots. 

 

Hi,

 

On startup, DSM loading, causes disk access (audible). In my case, no noise is emitted. I'm thinking more of a system crash (kernel panic?).

 

I tried last night with the latest ARPL loader, direct boot mode.

My server is fine and as usual, emitting disk access noises at startup.

 

I was able to recover all the files and configurations.

 

Do you think the problem will ever be solved? I have a preference for TCRP.

 

THANKS :-)

EDIT : i use TCRP v0.9.4.9c

 

As in the script below I have in M-Shell for TCRP

 

When installing 64570, I made some adjustments so that postupdate and repair are not required.

 

The reason is that the VERSION file exists in the full version PAT file of the 7.2-64570-1 NanoPacked version provided by Synology.


Strangely, this file is written with U0 even though it should point to U1.

 

https://archive.synology.com/download/Os/DSM/7.2-64570-1-NanoPacked

 

As a result, there is a problem that it is incorrectly recognized as U0 during the installation process, which should be fixed as U1.

 

I made adjustments to rectify this.

 

Line 38 below is related to this.

Hi there,

I wonder if someone could help. I am stuck on step 1. 

I had stable DSM6.2 system which reset so I had to start with a new USB with JUN 1.3b. Long story short, I ran in to connectivity problems reported elsewhere (with DSM 6.2.4-25556).

I have been told to update to 7.x

 

For this, given I have 43TB (27TB of data) in a 4 disk array, I want to be cautious with the steps.

From page 1 of this thread, I cannot find the 0.8 version loader when I go to "stable" GitHub page. All I see is the latest v0.9.4.9 version.

 

So my questions:

1. Where do I get the stable 0.8 version? Is 0.8 the best option?

2. I had a DS3617xs and want to migrate to DS3622xs+, so shall I go straight to DSM 7.1.0-42661?

3. Are there likely any risks to my data such as need to delete all my array in this migration process? If so, what shall I do? How can I avoid data loss?

 

Appreciate any and all help

Thank you.

I did the same upgrade and created 4 videos on how to get from 6.2.3 to 7.1.1 Update 4. They are long, but that is because I was doing an upgrade on my prod system and wanted to make sure everything was correct so the first video is a test run ("prep") on the same system but with a new SSD to test the upgrade process. Good luck!

Hi all,

I tried this method using the video (great video) but ran into sata port mapping issues. My HDD were not getting detected.

In the end I tried this video using ARPL arpl-i18n releases

This video guides the installation of the original ARPL by @fbelavenuto, which has discontinued development.


Currently, ARPL-i18n, a fork of this repo, includes all the latest features.


All installation processes in the video are the same, but it is recommended to use the actual link below.

Thanks you Peter.

 

Currently I am running arpl-i18n-23.9.7.img and it has been running well for a month.

So, should I update to the latest?

How often should one update?

 

Thanks
