Instructions to upgrade from 8.0.4 to 8.0.4 p1

[venkavis]

Where can I find instructions to upgrade from 8.0.4 to 8.0.4 p1?

I see the release notes, But I am unable to find the instructions on how to upgrade?

My search on the forum shows about all types of upgrades from prior versions and emphasizing the image size has changed but nothing specific for 8.0.4 to 8.0.4 p1.

Appreciate the responses in advance.

Venkavis, I'm a total FreeNAS beginner and managed to do it just fine, it's not difficult. Here's how:

I first had to make sure one of my storage volumes had root/wheel access. My first upgrade failed because I had only given myself access as a user.

Make sure that, when asked, you point to this root/wheel volume. The upgrade wants to store its temp files there.

Now, go here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/freenas/files/FreeNAS-8.0.4/
And get the GUI Upgrade that matches your current install. Probably the 64-bit version. It's about 75MB I think
Also download the tiny .txt file that comes with it.

Open that .txt and copy the contents to your clipboard.

Now go into your FreeNAS GUI, choose Settings, choose Advanced and pick "Firmware Update".
Paste your clipboard in the appropriate box and in the other box, point to your GUI Upgrade download.

Now let FreeNAS do its thing and after a reboot or two, you'll be up-to-date.
