Just a quick question ... I previously upgraded my Ultra 6 Plus from OS 4.2.30 to OS 6.6.0 and all is working great without any problems. I just recently noticed when entering Raidar that a newer OS 6.6.1 is now available. My question is whether one just uses the update function as shown in OS 6.6.0 to update a legacy unit, or is it necessary to perform a manual install of a downloaded bin file since the update is being performed on a legacy unit.
I'm probably just being over cautious, but searching the forum hasn't yielded an answer to this question.
I should clarify you can't use the .bin file once you are on OS6. You'd have to use the same x86_64 .img file we use for our current x86_64 systems if doing a manual update.
The .bin file tricks RAIDiator-x86 into thinking the OS6 image is a RAIDiator-x86 image so that it accepts it. However OS6 will expect an OS6 image so once you're running OS6 a standard .img file will work fine for doing any future firmware updates. This .img firmware file is the same image that is used by the update servers.
I tried updating on my Ultra 2 (RNDU2000) and now it just sits there unresponsive and all the lights are on with a sporadic blinknig of the aCT light. I haven't used this NAS in while but I had upgraded it to OS6 way back and decided to pull it out and turn it on. It was working fine and had prompted to update to 6.6.1 which when I read this post it sounded like it shouldn't be problem. Any thoughts on what might have happened?
Try disconnecting the power then reconnecting it and trying to boot the system again. If that doesn't resolve the problem have a look at the PM I just sent.
