sandyring Posted November 12, 2017 Share #1 Posted November 12, 2017 I hope someone can help me here, I've done quite a bit of searching, tried some things, but nothing has worked. Firstly, I've got a HP Microserver gen 8 which was running 5.2, I followed this tutorial: All was going well until I got to part 9:, essentially during an attempted migration it's appears to be stuck in a loop: Welcome back with the recover button, you click the recover button, the server reboots, but you find yourself stuck in a loop back at exactly the same recover screen 5 mins later....

huxmut Posted November 14, 2017 Share #3 Posted November 14, 2017 No real idea if this will help ... but have you tried at step 7 selecting the reinstall option ? When i did my Gen 8 I followed the same tutorial. I dug out the PID and VID and SERIAL and Network MAC from the old 5.2 boot loader usb stick Another thing you might try is to have a spare HDD installed as the only drive, and try and do an install to that. If that were to work, you could just drop in your other drives a couple at a time and let DSM do an upgrade on each drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyring Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) thanks huxmut, I did try the reinstall and force install, but still in a loop. Good idea re the old pid and vid though, will try that!. Would dropping in the other drives loose the data though?
