Follow these steps:
- Backup your database (Refer to your DB vendor).
- Take a snapshot of your DSM VM (if applicable).
- Download the latest Linux DSM installer from the Help Center. Save it to the target Linux DSM Server.
- Switch to root and navigate to the directory of the DSM installer.
- Use the command CHMOD 777 or CHMOD +x <DSM installer package>.
- Create a file called "install.properties" under DSM installer directory.
- 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 - 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
- Installation may take 3-5 minutes depending on the server performance.
- Once done, open the DSM console and navigate to each page.
- 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.
