[Software Description] This software will update the TS6000 series TeraStations’ firmware to version 6.02. If your unit’s firmware is already version 6.02 or later, you don’t need this update. [How to Verify the Firmware Version] Select your TeraStation from NAS Navigator2. The firmware version is displayed on the bottom right corner of the window. [Updating Firmware] • Do not turn off the TeraStation until the firmware update is completed and the “Finished” message appears. • Disconnect iSCSI volumes using the iSCSI initiator before updating the firmware. [Notes] • Make sure the TeraStation’s MTU size is set to a value smaller than that of the hub or router. Larger MTU sizes may not allow data to be transferred to the TeraStation properly. • This firmware will send your usage information to Buffalo automatically. For more details such as the information sent and how it will be handled by us, refer to the privacy policy from https://www.buffalo.jp/contents/support/privacy_usage_feedback/. To disable this function, open Settings after updating the firmware to this version, then navigate to ‘Management’ > ‘Update’ > ‘Edit’ and disable “Update Notification”. For more detailed information, refer to the user manual of your TeraStation model. • If settings are initialized with an iSCSI volume that had been created using an LVM-enabled drive or array, that iSCSI volume mode may be displayed as “NAS”, instead of “iSCSI” on the NAS volume list. Even if in such a case, the iSCSI volume remains accessible via the iSCSI initiator. • If you are using firmware version 5.70 or earlier, data may be erased from OneDrive when renaming or moving folders on OneDrive and OneDrive Sync is enabled on the TeraStation with bidirectional sync mode and either a 1, 5, or 10 minute-sync period configured. Please update the firmware to the latest version. • If OneDrive Sync is enabled on a TeraStation that is in bidirectional sync mode, either of the following operations may cause a subfolder and the files within to be deleted during sync: 1) A subfolder is deleted from the TeraStation’s shared folder at the same time a new file is created in or moved into the same subfolder in the OneDrive folder. 2) A subfolder is deleted from the OneDrive folder at the same time a new file is created in or moved into the same subfolder in the TeraStation’s shared folder. In such a case, recover the deleted files from the OneDrive recycle bin before the retention period expires. • Disable any antivirus software on the computer that will run the updater before updating the firmware. • It is recommended to connect to the computer via a wired connection for updating the firmware. [For Customers Using Replication] To securely copy your data via replication, a backup device access key must be configured for the replication target. Please make sure you have installed the latest firmware downloaded from the Buffalo website onto your TeraStation and verify that a backup device access key has been configured on the replication target folder for any configured replication jobs. Refer to the “Replication” section in the user manual of your TeraStation model for the procedure to configure a backup device access key to the replication target folder. If you are replicating devices over different subnets or through NAT abstraction, using a VPN is recommended for network security. [How to Update the Firmware] 1. Extract the downloaded installer file. 2. Execute “update”, then refer to the on-screen instructions. [Release Notes] Version 6.02 [2024-01-09] After updating to this firmware version, restart the TeraStation. If email notification is enabled, you may receive two identical emails after updating the firmware. Restarting the TeraStation will resolve this issue. Bug Fixes [USB Drives] • Fixed a bug where if a USB drive was connected to the TeraStation while the firmware is updated to version 5.98, the USB drive became unwritable. If your TeraStation’s firmware version is 5.98, update the firmware to the latest version with the USB drive connected to resolve the issue. Version 5.98 [2023-11-30] Added and Modified Features [SMB] • Now supports SMB signing. [AFP] • AppleDouble format is now selectable. If using AFP, we recommend backing up data before updating to this firmware version. After updating the firmware, make sure to check the format before use.
