Follow these steps:

  1. Backup your database (Refer to your DB vendor).
  2. Take a snapshot of your DSM VM (if applicable).
  3. Download the latest Linux DSM installer from the Help Center. Save it to the target Linux DSM Server.
  4. Switch to root and navigate to the directory of the DSM installer.
  5. Use the command CHMOD 777 or CHMOD +x <DSM installer package>.
  6. Create a file called "install.properties" under DSM installer directory.
  7. Append and fill out the following parameters inside the "install.properties" file, and save it.

    AddressAndPortsScreen.ManagerAddress=<your DSM IP>
    AddressAndPortsScreen.NewNode=True
    UpgradeVerificationScreen.Overwrite=False
    LicenseScreen.License.-1=<Your Activation Code>
    DatabaseScreen.DatabaseType=<your SQL type> #ex: Microsoft SQL Server if you are using MSSQL
    DatabaseScreen.Hostname=<hostname or IP address of your DB Server>
    DatabaseScreen.Transport=TCP
    DatabaseScreen.DatabaseName=<your database name>
    DatabaseScreen.Username=<YOURUSERNAMEFORDATABASE>
    DatabaseScreen.Password=<YOURPASSWORDFORDATABASE>
    AddressAndPortsScreen.ManagerPort=4119 #default dsm port
    AddressAndPortsScreen.HeartbeatPort=4120
    CredentialsScreen.Administrator.Username=<DSM username> #default is masteradmin
    CredentialsScreen.Administrator.Password=<YOURPASSWORDFORDSM>
    CredentialsScreen.UseStrongPasswords=False
    SecurityUpdateScreen.UpdateComponents=True
    SoftwareUpdateScreen.UpdateSoftware=True
    RelayScreen.Install=True
    SmartProtectionNetworkScreen.EnableFeedback=False
    AddressAndPortsScreen.NewNode=False
    UpgradeVerificationScreen.Overwrite=False

  8. Once the file is saved, run the following command to install/upgrade the DSM software.

    ./Manager-Linux-<Version>.x64.exe -q -console -varfile install.properties

  9. Installation may take 3-5 minutes depending on the server performance.
  10. Once done, open the DSM console and navigate to each page.
  11. Confirm that the DSM has been upgraded. It is recommended to leave the DSM running for a couple of hours and not perform any further activity as the database upgrade schema is still being processed.
