upgrading

I have a DS720+ with a 4TB and 8TB drive, running SHR. I bought a new 8TB drive (same brand/model as existing 8TB) and would like to upgrade the 4TB drive. I think I need to follow the instructions on Replace a Drive | DSM - Synology Knowledge Center starting at the heading "To replace a drive...

This should be simple.... and it isn't as much of an upgrade as the 220+ will be used for offsite tasks. In theory I should be able to swap drives from 220 > 224, boot and be up and running on the 224... BUT not the case. Swapping drives, unable to access squat through ethernet or network. If I...

Sorry to ask for advice on a fairly basic question... I have a DS918+ running DSM 7.1.1, which had 2 x 8 TB Seagate Ironwolf Pro and 2 x 10 TB Seagate Ironwolf HDDs in one SHR storage pool (using btrfs) with 2-drive fault tolerance. Both 10TB drives unfortunately failed a short time apart and...

I'm surprised that the starting offset is set to 1024 after the switch to 4Kn. That can't be right. The old value under 512e is 8192. fdisk -l /dev/sde Disk /dev/sde: 10.9 TiB, 12000138625024 bytes, 2929721344 sectors Disk model: HUH721212ALE600 Units: sectors of 1 * 4096 = 4096 bytes Sector...

I have a DS216+ with two 1GB drives running as a file server in my small office. We are using SMB, Synology Drive, Synology Directory Server, Cloudsync, and Hyperbackup. We are using full encrypted volumes and Hyperbackup is encrypted. This setup is over 5 years old and I want to replace it...

I’m browsing other forums on routers, just to see how others are happy either them. And to learn about their strengths & weaknesses….. I can see it will take a long time to make any decision. So, in the meantime I examine what I can… to see at the other end of the network….what could benefit...

I'm thinking of upgrading my DS923+ with this adapter. Is there anything I should think of before doing that considering the NAS itself? When installed, it's just to use the new ethernetport instead of the builtin and everything will work as before?

Hello all. Would just like to try to pick some smarter minds than my own about this. This is going to be my first big upgrade, so any help appreciated. Present setup: DS918+ : 8Gb : 4x6TB* : 2x 500Mb NVMe R/W *to be be replaced with 4x20TB HDDs, still thinking about what to do with old drives...

Hello all, I hope I chose the correct forum section for this question. I tried to upgrade my DS218+ today from 7.2.1 U5 to 7.2.2, but did by mistake select the wrong .pat file and installed the 7.2.2-72806-Update1 patch file without installing the 7.7.2-72806 base patch first. I cannot install...

Hey, Was wondering if anyone else got this problem. As mentioned I have a new DS223j with 2 Toshiba 16TB NAS HDD drives. Once I run the setup from finds.synology.com it asked me if I want to update the system. Since I approved it is stuck upgrading. I wasn't sure if its the new drives it might...

Hi guys, New here So I've been using my DS1513+ long before the btfs became a thing. Only just realising. The Filesystem. When I started my nas journey was ext3. In my research, I learnt that the only way to change to the new Filesystem is by starting afresh. This is what I'm doing now... How...

I have a DS918+ and a DX517. I have one SHR volume on 4 x 8tb in the DS918+ and 3 x 8tb in the DX517 (so 2 slots left empty in the DX517). I want to put 16tb in the DS918+ and was wondering what is the best way to do it since I have 2 slots left in the DX517. Should I create a hot spare by...

Hi, I finally came to a decision to upgrade my DS1618+ from DSM 6.2.4 to a DSM 7. As there is a lot of packages and few docker containers (with their databases), I would like to know from someone who already ran through it - is it safe? Will everything upgrade without any damage? Especially...

Hi all. New here! I have been on the Synology forums and have to say it's the worst community I've seen in quite a long while. Joined here and instantly see such a big difference! I have the old DS215J and have been using it mainly as a media organiser, surveillance server, cloud backup and...

I am trying to use BSNL fibre net on my newly bought TP Link router but after upgrading the firmware as instructed I am getting a green flashing PON status (using EPON as told by ISP) and shows “ registering”. Please help.

Hi all, I own a DS1513+ for a lot of years now. Disks have been replaced multiple times without an issue. Right now a rebuild is running for replacing a 3TB to a 12TB drive. The drives currently in my nas are 12TB + 2x6TB + 4TB + 3TB. Because of these upgrades my volume is now spread over 4...
