DS918+ upgrade to 7.2.2 failed (with RR 24.11.13, VM on ESX, 4 disks pass-through)

[Jas C]

Hi all champions,  need ur help. 

 

My xpenology setting is: 

Server: HPE Microsever Gen10 Plus 

DS918+ as VM on my VMware ESX 6.8 server with 4 disks running as SHR

Bootloader: RR 24.11.13

 

It was running all good on DSM 7.2.1-69057 Update 6.

And I tried to upgrade it to DSM 7.2.2, it failed and I can't even get the DSM 7.2.1 restored.

 

what I did for the upgrading was:

1. booted to RR bootloader

2. chose version: 7.2 → 7.2.2-72806, anything else kept intact.

3. chose Build the loader

4. Boot the loader

 

And then I got the web assistant GUI, and I chose Migrate → Retain system config → Auto Download 7.2.2-72806, and it failed at 60ish%.  

Error msg was like:   Failed to install DSM, Failed to download the DSM installation file. Please check the network connection and try again. 

 

And I tried to manual upload from local PAT file, same error.

 

So, I gave up, and decided to roll back to 7.2.1. and After I changed the config of RR to version 7.2.1, and went to the web assistant. and tried to install the PAT file. I got the same error.

 

Now I am kinda stuck, and no idea how to get my DS918 VM back to work again.

 

Any help or hints are really really appreciated.  many many thanks.

haha, problem resolved.  it turned out /dev/md0 partition running out of space.  In my case, it worked after I cleaned up, and made 690M available space. and it worked.

 

In terms of how to access the NAS, and delete files, please refer to the url below.
