DSS to DSS6 upgrade

[Stevel]

I was worried to do this, will this affect the existing data ?

Not at all, the data is fine.

Thanks all is good now !

Now as you upgrade to the DSSv6, it is recommended to save your settings/configurations (MAINTENANCE -> miscellaneous -> Function: Save settings) in a safe place in case you will need them for future.

Quick note for others that stumble across this issue also. I also experienced the same issue upgrading from DSS v5 to DSS v6. I exported the setup and configuration before the upgrade, re-applied them after doing the upgrade and it appeared everything was working. Until I went to look at the NAS shares and noticed they were all gone (but my RAID volumes were still there).

I went back and re-imported the "configurationg" backup, rebooted and low and behold all of the NAS shares were back! Looks like you need to import the configuration twice after the upgrade to sucessfully get everything restored.

Glad the second go was able to get it sorted, but this would indicate a problem with the file system or with the RAID.
A file system repair should be done from the console to be sure, and check the RAID health fom the controller. While your in the controller interface, check for latest firmware also.
