Carlo 4330 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Hi, Are you still running DSM 6 on your NAS? Which NAS do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al2h 2 Posted December 21, 2021 Author Share Posted December 21, 2021 Hello, yes DSM6 and the NAS is a DS2415+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37064 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Are you able to update to DSM 7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I would suggest is to fire up a VM on that box with DSM 6 and Emby install with a test library and 2 or 3 users added. Take a snapshot of the VM after you build it and do a dry run updating DSM 6 to DSM 7 and then upgrading Emby with our migration instructions. If you have other software besides Emby that didn't come directly from Synology you could install those as well before the DSM upgrade. This way you are fully prepared and have already done a test run or two. Having taken the snapshot after getting everything installed you could quickly revert back to that and do another practice run quite easily as well. You'll be able to comfortably run the the DSM upgrade and any 3rd party program migrations quite easily at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al2h 2 Posted December 21, 2021 Author Share Posted December 21, 2021 @luke: not sûre DSM7 is available for my n'as. @cayars: I have no idea what you are talking about... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al2h 2 Posted December 21, 2021 Author Share Posted December 21, 2021 VM ? Virtual machine ? Installation of emby isn't thé problem but after, it won't star. So, I can't add user and librairies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo 4330 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Wait don't install DSM 7 yet. Read this first so you know what the process is: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 What I was referring to earlier is this: It's available in the Package Center. It allows you to setup and run "virtual machines". So you could setup and run Windows or Linux on your Synology box. It's contained and is like a separate computer. When you open it and click the create button you get these choices As you can see, one type of virtual machine you can deploy is an actual Synology virtual NAS. It will walk you through the setup just like when you first installed it on the read hardware. So the idea behind that is to have DSM 6 installed with any 3rd party apps as well. Then you can upgrade this virtual NAS just as you would do on your actual NAS. It allows you to experience how this will work and allow you to run through the migration steps. If you get stuck or don't understand anything you can come back here and ask about it. Far better to be able to ask questions and do a dry run upgrade/migration in a virtual machine then on your actual NAS. If something goes poorly in the VM it's no big deal and you just learned what not to do. It's possible you might have some other software that isn't compatible with DSM 7 and you would want to reach out to the vendor first before doing the upgrade. Of course this is purely optional but for the hours time it would take you to do this might be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al2h 2 Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 So... I can't use VM because my NAS don't have enough memory. So I will install DSM7 and let you know... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo 4330 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Nicely done @al2h. How long was the overall process for you from starting the DSM 7 upgrade to having Emby up and running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
