OK To Skip Intermediate Upgrades?

[kenmichelle]

My DS920+ was running DSM 7.0-41890 and I wanted to update to the latest 7.1.1-42962 Update 3. I'm not sure if jumping over some of the intermediate updates was a good thing to do so I went to the Synology Download Center, selected what I was going from and going to. I was given this update path.

I downloaded 7.1.1-42962 Update 1 and Update 3 as suggested. Then I did the manual update with the file path set to the Update 1 file. When the update proceeded, it seemed to do a single update directly to Update 3. Did that really happen or did it perform both updates as one step? Does skipping intermediate updates cause problems? I had waited because I heard there were some problems with the earlier updates. Maybe waiting is not recommended? I'm just worried that everything did not get updated properly.

If the DSM is reporting up3 version then you are fine. There are no problems skipping version that’s why the update path has a specific route its needs when you do decided to update.

Nothing to worry it’s all good.

Sometimes the manual path is in steps, my assumption has been that one of the steps is using a small patch updater and other are larger 100/200MB full updaters. If DSM is reporting it is at Update 3 then you are all done
