  2. Starting from DSM 7.2 Beta, Virtual Machine Manager will no longer support creating clusters with older DSM versions. Please update each host in the cluster to the same DSM version or above versions for the Virtual Machine Manager cluster to operate properly.

Notes:

So the changes are the following (compared to the previous version):

This update includes fixes to the below issues mentioned in 7.2-64561:

  • Fixed an issue where updating to DSM 7.2 might fail if users' Synology NAS weren't connected to the Internet.
  • Fixed an issue where, when the Encryption Key Vault of encrypted volumes was set on a KMIP server, the system would not be able to auto-unlock these volumes after a restart.
  • Fixed an issue where, if Web Station was installed on an encrypted volume, resetting the system would cause the volume to crash.
  • Updated C2 Identity Edge Server to version 1.52.0-0186 to ensure its availability and functionality.

A few more points than what the recall message is reporting. It is clear that Synology has decided to use this recall to implement a fix for a few more bugs. On top of these key fixes, there is also one more addition to the DSM.

  1. Added support for Auto Block, which restricts SMB login attempts from abnormal IP addresses.

As with the previous version there is a list of models that will not support automatic upload so manual download and install will have to be done.
