#General information
The 412+ and 1513+ have the same architecture, that is why it works so well. The only difference is that you will see 5 HDD/SSD instead of 4. This is absolutely not a problem at all

In case your NAS is bricked, this can be solved as well; in case you want to go back to your DSM-6.2.4 it can be done as well, let me know and I will upload a tutorial.

I have come across your post reference getting DSM 7.1.1 onto my old DS412+ using the .pat file from a DS1513+ in order to get the latest firmware. I have followed your instructions but unfortunately at about 59% whilst installing the DSM, the install gives an error stating 'Unable to complete install, the file may be corrupted'. Were there any additional steps you took to mitigate this? I have been able to install the .pat from DS713+ (only 2 disks available) and the .pat from RS814+ (unable to update past 7.0.1 Update 4, due to an additional patch is required).

 

I would be very grateful for any help you can offer. Also could you kindly send you pdf as it is unavailable using the above link.

 

Thank you kindly

Bonjour, 

 

Quelqu'un a t'il réussi? j'ai aussi l'erreur "Failed to install the file. The file is probably corrupted. (13)"

 

Merci pour votre aide

Of course, the files are not broken. DSM 7.1 uses a different partitioning scheme. The migration steps provided by the manufacturer cannot simply be skipped. The whole thing requires two drives, unless you're a crack user. If previous appropriate actions have created other conditions, it can also work by chance, as with the TO.

 

If you start with without any data to transfer, you can do it without an additional hard drive. All you need to do is to copy 4 files online from the DS1513+ pat file to the DOM. With SHR or RAID5/6, you can't manage without a completely new and larger set of hard drives. In this case, the transfer can only be done using the unload-reload procedure.

Good evening, thank you for your help, I am using a blank hard drive and yet I still encounter this error 13. on the other hand, I do not understand very well which files and what the DOM is.

Is there a new instruction on how to migrate to DSM 7? Who was able to install DSM 7?
