System Firmware Upgrade
Upgrade Advice
Before you do the upgrade, be sure to save a backup of your configuration file.
DO NOT use a embedded firmware upgrade if your XigmaNAS server has lesser than 384MB
RAM.
If a firmware upgrade fails with “broken pipe” or mount/umount related errors, the only solution
is to re-install from scratch, this will delete all data on the OS disk.
512MB of RAM is the minimum system requirement for upgrading any
Embedded version of XigmaNAS.
More RAM is recommended for a better system performance.
Backup Configuration
First before you flash it's smart to have a backup of the systems configuration, you can't be safe
enough.
1. Navigate to the System > Backup/Restore page
2. In the Backup configuration area, click the “Download configuration” button
3. When prompted by your computer, select Save, and a location on your computer to save the
config file

Note: Do not store the XigmaNAS config file on your server storage, keep it somewhere else safe!
Performing the Embedded Upgrade
Navigate to the System: Firmware page and click the Enable firmware upload button.
Click the Browse button (Bladeren on dutch system) and navigate to where you stored the previously
downloaded .IMG.XZ file.
This is not the backup xml file you just saved; this is the .IMG file (for the embedded
release) or the .TXZ file (for the full release) from the Sourceforge or XigmaNAS
website. DO NOT USE the ISO file here!!!
Once the file is in the firmware image file window, click the Upgrade firmware button.
A message will indicate the upgrade installation is being performed and XigmaNAS will reboot once
this is completed: “The Firmware is now being installed. XigmaNAS will reboot automatically.”

Once the reboot is completed, you can login back into the XigmaNAS WebGUI.
Note: If, for some reason you cannot connect to XigmaNAS, connect a screen to your XigmaNAS
server (if not already connected) and verify the network settings using the console menu. It’s possible
that with an new release, the name of your LAN card changes (FreeBSD new NIC drivers for example),
of course this happens seldom if at all.
Verify XigmaNAS configuration
The upgrade procedure may upgrade the configuration file. It should work without problem, but it is a
good idea to verify your settings. Browse to several screens in your XigmaNAS and verify that items
such as the network and disk configuration are still configured as you previously did configure.
