Hi, 

 

Can I upgrade from DSM 6.1.7-15284 using this loader? Not losing any data. 

 

Previously used Jun's one. 

 

Hardware - hp microserver n54l

 

Thanks for the help. 

 

Cheers,

Jake

I am exactly in this situation.....did you try it?

This loader is not been developed for sometime now. It is better to go to M-Shell. If you cant make a backup of your data before update, it is a very big risk, but Synology had made a very good job in this last versions to prevent data lost.

My suggestion: backup at least what is very needed and cannot be recover, and try it.

What is the model you are using? There is a way to upgrade slowly, version by version and you can find it at Synology site.

https://www.synology.com/en-br/support/download

I have a DS414j (oficial) and a 3622xs+ as Xpenology. To upgrade my 414j I used this:

I recommend to see what is the path to update and get each best loader for the model/DS version.

I have been using this quite well for over a year (DS3622xs+ 7.1.1-42962). Now I want to add a 19gbe card. I got a Silicom dual-SFP+ Intel 82599ES based card. The card is detected by DSM (seen in "ip link show" as below, eth0 is default 1Gbe interface, eth1 is a 2.5gbe card, both show up in DSM, eth2/eth3 are the 10gbe ports):

root@NAS:/# ip link show
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast master ovs-system state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:22:4d:7e:b6:82 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: eth1: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,SLAVE,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq master ovs-system state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 90:de:80:e0:12:d6 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4: eth2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:e0:ed:90:f4:4f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
5: eth3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:e0:ed:90:f4:50 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

Not sure how I can go about enabling this card without doing a fresh install (I like that everything else is working as I want). Any help is appreciated.

 

thanks

Looks like the issue might be with SR-IOV function on the card. how can I disable it?

Try last RR release with 'Direct boot' enabled.

Hi Guys!

 

Fore those which have lot of questions i am happy to share my case:

Old conf:

Automated RedPill Loader (ARPL) 0.8 alpha (autumn 2022)

DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 2

Model DS3617xs

 

New conf:

DSM Version: 7.2.2-72806

ARC loader 24.10.20

Model DS3622xs+

 

Download ARC loader (https://auxxxilium.tech/redpill/), Flash USB with rufus, boot, choose model and DSM, then you can customize addons (i selected only recommended by loader options), after the loader building process ends- boot to DSM and choose MIGRATION with KEEPING ALL SETTINGS AND APPS

wait 10-15 min

you will get 7.2.2 with all you settinggs and apps like Transmission and Syncthing etc 

 

ALL DONE, Enjoy)

Thank you! My old USB died and I was struggling to get my station up and running, and nothing was helping. Your loader saved my day! Extremely easy to set up, I was easily able to go from 7.1 to 7.2 now, and keep all my settings!

 

I am running i3 10th gen with MSI B560M Pro mb.

[dh22r]

i'd just rec'd an aoostar wtr pro 4 bay NAS with ryzen 5825u.

 

i booted the latest arc loader, chose model ds3622xs+, the latest 7.2 release and the default settings.

the DSM refused to boot and appear on the synology assistant.

 

i then tried model ds923+, thinking it's an AMD processor mismatch with ds3622xs+, still no luck.

 

in bios, secured boot is disabled.

 

any ideas?  all help appreciated.

Yes, I just figured it out 1 hour ago, sort of. I spent all day working on it. Now, I have no idea exactly what is going on but here is something that might make it work for you. I did two things that fixed it for me.

Try:

1. Disable all addons and trying to create a boot loader. Boot from it. It would not work.

Power off the machine.

2. Go to your BIOS settings>Advanced>AMD CBS>FCH Common Options>

Disable the following:

I2C Configuration Options

Uart Configuration Options

ESPI Configuration Options

LPC Configuration Options

HFP Options

 

Basically set all their options to DISABLE

Now save and exit BIOS settings. Go to the DSM loader and try to boot from it. It will work.

Now if you go back and enable all of those options back it would STILL WORK. Again I have no idea why. Now if you go back and enable all Addons back it will work.

Maybe you don't need to disable those addons in the first place but this is what I did and what fixed it for me. I was able to get SA6400, DS3622xs+, DS1621+ working. The others might work as well but I didn't have enough time to test them. 

I use Synology Assistant on Windows to check whether it is available or not. You can also directly connect via the IP address of the machine. Do not use find.synology.com it is messed up and caches things. Totally useless.

Let me know what happens.

[dh22r]

thanks so much for your work!

i'd restored to default bios and followed your changes under the "FCH common options".

i tested with arc-1.1.9 for models SA6400 and DS923+ (my choice) -- both were successful.

You're welcome! Glad to hear it worked! I'm using Aoostar two bay system (the white one).

BTW, even if you reset the BIOS it would still work. Quite boot also works. The only thing I found that would break it is using a new USB image for Arc Loader. Then you need to repeat the steps. If I have time I'll try to narrow things down. But it's Thanksgiving holiday here and I'm out of town.

[dh22r]

does anyone know how to disable the "Arc Release x.x.x" notifications?  it keeps popping up after the restart of my DSM.
thanks.

Based on this article, the 920+ can only use 8 threads (probably 923+ too). The Ryzen 7 5825U has 16 threads. Basically you're losing half of the threads on your CPU with that configuration. Not sure if you care about that.

[dh22r]

i'd switched the build to SA6400.  thanks.

I just noticed an addon called Updatenotify.  When you create your loader it is automatically selected. You can remove it and recreate the loader. Alternatively, you need arc control.spk which is an application that lets you configure arc. I got it from the Discord channel.

will remember to unselect "Updatenotify" on the next loader build.  thanks.

Hello,

 

successfully moved yesterday from ARPL to ARC following this Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Xpenology/comments/16zz4kw/where_to_get_started_upgrading_from_vmware_esxi/

 

my hardware: microserver gen8, 16GB ram, 1265L v2, LSI card in passthrough mode

 

ESXI 7.0, ARPL and DSM 7.xxxx

Everything went smooth with the automated configuration offered by ARC loader at first boot (model ds3622xs)... also disks were correctly detected (with ARPL I needed to specify sataportmap e diskid parameters)

 

Then, at the next boot, DSM downloaded the new pat file, migrated my data, and now I have DSM 7.2.2-72806 Update 2 on my microserver gen8

 

P.S. I used the same VM used before with ARPL, just pointed to the new vmdk file

 

Feel free to ask if needed, but the reddit post above has links to detailed guides.

Acabo de actualizar el cargador con ARC y actualizar el DSM, en principio parecía que todo bien. Tengo discos conectados a la placa base y otros conectados a una tarjeta SATA. Me detecta los discos que están conectados a la tarjeta sATA pero no detecta los dos discos que tengo conectados a los puertos SATA de la placa base. 

Con el cargador automático antiguo detectaba todos perfectamente.

Podéis ayudarme a que los detecte?
