Upgrade Synology DS1010+ to DSM 6

The DS1010+ is almost identical to the DS1511+, but for some reason the DS1010+ isn’t supported under DSM6. This upgrade trick works well, the only side-effecrt is a swapping of the LAN1 and LAN2 LEDs. There is one absolute clenching moment, however.

1. Install latest DSM on DS1010+ (5.2)
2. Enable SSH
3. SSH to system as root (your user likely will not work; DSM 5.x had weird problems with SSH),
4. edit the following file using vi

   vi /etc.defaults/synoinfo.conf

   Change unique=”synology_x86_1010+” to unique=”synology_x86_1511+”
   Save the file

5. make a copy of /dev/synoboot.img

   dd if=/dev/synoboot of=/volume1/synoboot.img

6. Temporarily mount the USB boot device

   mkdir /mnt/boot
   cd /dev
   mount /dev/synoboot1

   Edit the grub configuration stored in boot/grub/grub.conf

   vi /mnt/boot/boot/grub/grub.conf

   Edit the file to look like this

   serial –unit=0 –speed=115200
   terminal serial
   default 1
   timeout 3
   hiddenmenu
   fallback 0
   
   title SYNOLOGY_1
      root (hd0,0)
      hw_model=DS1511+
      kernel /zImage root=/dev/ram0 ihd_num=0 netif_num=1 syno_hw_version=DS1511+
      initrd /rd.gz
   title SYNOLOGY_2
      root (hd0,1)
      #cksum /grub_cksum.syno
      vender /vender show
      #hw_model
      kernel /zImage root=/dev/md0 ihd_num=0 netif_num=1 syno_hw_version=DS1511+
      initrd /rd.gz

   Save the file

7. Reboot the diskstation to pick up the new model number

   reboot

8. Manually upgrade to 6.0.3-8754
9. Auto-upgrade to 6.2.4-25556
10. Update Modules
11. Update Synology Trust Level (updates certificates for package management)
12. Synology HDD/SSD Offline Update Pack (updates internal drive compatibility list)
