Upgrading DSM 7

[johnnydunlop]

Hi,

 

Currently I am running:

Bare Metal installation 

 

tinycore-redpill loader (via USB)

DSM Version: 7.1.1-42962
DS3622xs+

I want to update DSM to the latest 7.1.1 Update 5 without losing data

 

What are the correct steps to perform the update to latest?

 

Thanks in advance!

I figured it out for those also wondering:

 

First update from DSM GUI manually using PAT file downloaded from site:
https://www.synology.com/en-nz/support/download/DS3622xs+?version=7.1#system
 

Second boot into TCRP and run:
./rploader.sh update
./rploader.sh fullupgrade
./rploader.sh backup
./rploader.sh postupdate ds3622xsp-7.1.1-42962
exitcheck.sh reboot

once you reboot. you get a setup screen where it asks you for the PAT file or?

You download the desired PAT file from synology site and browse to control panel -> updates in the DSM GUI itself and thats where it asks for the PAT file (under manual install).

I waited for the countdown timer for reboot to finish and then booted in TCRP to complete the rest.

Obviously take backups of existing USB configuration / your data sitting on DSM HDD's if you can before attempting any of this 😃 otherwise, update at your own risk.
