    You would have to upgrade OMV5 to OMV6, and then upgrade OMV6 to OMV7. But I recommend that you do a fresh installation of OMV7, you will probably finish sooner and without problems.

    You can take screenshots of the current settings for reference. You can also install OMV7 on a pendrive and keep your OMV5 installation as a backup by disconnecting the system disk until everything is working.

    Ok... will the new install recognise the existing RAID setup...?

    Check what plugins you're using. Many got ported, some got changed (new names, functionality) others got dropped.


    The UI has changed, get familiar with it.


    Also, if you're using advanced stuff like custom configurations or environment variables, there are new commands to set them.

    It's a very vanilla install fortunately so I think I'm only using the flash drive plugin, which I perhaps don't even need for an SSD drive...? A second NAS drive is running V6 so I can find my way around...

    Please consider installing your system using OMV7 from scratch because otherwise you need to do full distro upgrades from Debian 10 -> 11 -> 12 with all the pitfalls that my occur.

    That sounds a bit hairy for a newb... Is there a relatively painless method...? Will my existing RAID array stay in place and be recognised or will I have to back it up and tear it all down again?

    Hi, Up until recently my OMV5 system has been running so well that I was happy to leave it alone. As it's been giving me hassle lately, I thought I might as well upgrade to V6...

    As I understand it I should just run run omv-upgrade and then omv-release-upgrade to move to V6 but I see some systems getting borked in the process.

    Is there anything I can do to minimise potential issues...?

    Hi, I managed somehow to get back into my server and I'm able to run omv-firstaid.

    My issue now is that I can't get a static ip address for my server. If I set the ip address using omv-firstaid I get someting like "The web control panel is reachable at url: 192.168.0.211:80". In fact it's probably unreachable or is only reachable at another ip address.

    Only if I use DHCP can I reach the WebGui. I have reset things using both the WebGui and omv-firstaid to try to get a static address but it never sticks.

    What can I do?

    Code
    mdadm --detail --scan --verbose
    ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid5 num-devices=4 metadata=1.2 name=openmediavault.local:zulu UUID=e722afd9:58035460:ce00e630:17883000

    Hi,

    As a result of a power outage (I guess) my OMV 5 file server won't mount on my Mac. It has been running perfectly up until now.

    When I try to log in over the CLI, no password is recognised. I know the root password is correct as I have used the CLI before, to replace a RAID disk. Now it's not recognised.

    I'm connected directly to the server now and I see the OMV prompt. I was hoping to be able to run omv-firstaid but I need to be logged in for that...

    I found this: https://www.softzone.es/linux/…ar-contrasena-root-linux/ but I don't ever see a GRUB menu.

    At the OMV login prompt, when I try to enter my password where the username should be, I notice that when I try to type a £ sign (Mac keyboard), which is part of my password, it's not recognised. A "3" appears. Could this be why my password isn't recognised? It contains both £ and $. In Unicode you're supposed to be able to type "Option-shift-U-003" to get a £ sign but I can't get this to work either...

    What can I do please?

    I Googled the ssh error above and ended up going round in circles...


    Code

    I just got an email from the system looking for the Backup disk, which I had disconnected:


    Code
    The system monitoring needs your attention.

    This triggered the monitoring system to: alert

    Something is obviously running, I just can't reach it...

    Hi, I know this is an old setup but it's been running like a train so I've left it alone...

    I have a RAID 5 setup using OMV5 serving my files accessed by SMB.

    Usually this is trouble free but suddenly my Mac can't mount the OMV SMB share.

    The web gui can't be reached.

    The server will respond to a Ping:

    I'm 99% sure that ssh access is enabled as I've used it before but this is what I get in my Mac Terminal:


    Code
    ssh root@192.168.0.211
    Unable to negotiate with 192.168.0.211 port 22: no matching key exchange method found. Their offer: diffie-hellman-group1-sha1

    Can anyone help me past this?
