Guide - Upgrade OMV 6 ---> OMV 7

Quote from Honza

For RPi users (adding "Raspberry Pi" for the CTRL+F and forum search folks), you are also going to need to run the fix6to7upgrade script. You can do this by running

Code

wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenMediaVault-Plugin-Developers/installScript/master/fix6to7upgrade | bash

Because running omv-release-upgrade will likely break your SSH config, you are probably going to need to do this with your Pi connected to a monitor and keyboard.

In my case (see here), I also needed to run omv-salt deploy run ssh to fix the SSH config, but the aforementioned script should now take care of this as well.

With OMV 6 now EOL, I sadly have to report that following the official in-place upgrade procedure linked above still fails:

RE: Is there a guide to in place upgrade?
I ran into Error 502 upon WebUI login (seems due to PHP not being properly upgraded) and remote access via ssh was denied as well.
The Odroid-HC4 then rebooted upon calling omv-salt stage run deploy with a screen and keyboard attached, so I shall retry the upgrade again from the OMV 6 backup :

Worked for me as well. Thanks !

There seems to be an issue with HC4 rebooting in certain situation. One solutions reported in the forum is to disable watchdog. Another one is reported here

RE: OMV7: reboots every time I try to change configuration

Ok. If you read my previous posts in this topic the reboot was solved, but another problem arised.
Did you see the timing in the log ? It took a ridiculous 254 seconds (4 mins) to apply the changes.
So disabling watchdog prevented a reboot during this time, but I suppose 4 mins is not acceptable.

Anyway, a smart guy from the odroid community found another workaround.
By disabling udev rules for Circuitpython no more reboots occur even with watchdog enabled.
These command are used :

Thanks, removing /etc/udev/rules.d/99-odroid-circuitpython.rules seems to have helped.
As well as running https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenMediaVault-Plugin-Developers/installScript/master/fix6to7upgrade before rebooting...
And I had to fix the group for polkit and install the openmediavault-md extension for managing my RAID setup (as mentioned elswhere).

Network >> Interfaces >> Edit interface

I had the same DNS error. But regardless of this solution, I set IPv6 to Auto in the network interface for the enp1s0 device. And that helped even without a fixed DNS.

Hey Guys,

I am trying to do an update to the current version of OMV from 6.9.16-1 and I ran the first step:

sudo omv-salt stage run deploy

Looks like things are ready as I see:

Summary for debian

------------

Succeeded: 2 (changed=2)

Failed: 0

However, I just wanted to understand the following errors that I received at the very end after the total run time is displayed:

[ERROR ] Command 'mount' failed with return code: 11

[ERROR ] stderr: Remounting is not supported at present. You have to umount volume and then mount it once again.

[ERROR ] retcode: 11

[ERROR ] {'umount': 'Forced remount because options (big_writes) changed'}

[ERROR ] Command 'mount' failed with return code: 11

[ERROR ] stderr: Remounting is not supported at present. You have to umount volume and then mount it once again.

[ERROR ] retcode: 11

[ERROR ] {'umount': 'Forced remount because options (big_writes) changed'}

Any ideas on what these errors could be related to?

If I run the omv-release-upgrade command to upgrade to OMV 7, what happens to Docker, containers, plugins like MergerFS and its pool, users and shares? Will everything remain as it is or will I have to do some reinstallation or reconfiguration?

Everything will be in place just as you had it in OMV6. The only exception is if you have a mdadm Raid, in this case you just have to install the openmediavault-md plugin after you are on OMV7, nothing more.

All right. Okay. In addition to Docker and plugins I also installed Tailscale, 7Zip and some apps in Python. Will these apps have to be reinstalled?
