Duo->NV->Pro upgrade path
From what I've seen in the FAQ, the ReadyNAS Duo can be upgraded easily to the NV+ by simply moving the disks. Can the NV+ be upgraded to the Pro by transferring the disks as well? I realize that ...
Although the Frontview screens look very similar to one another, they are totally different files under the hood. So, No, it cannot be done. There is another discussion on here where some one asked what would happen if they loaded the configuration file from an NV+ onto an X-86 system, and the answer was that they would at least have to do a factory default to clear it.
There are two ways to do it. One is to sit down with a note pad and make notes of your settings in each screen starting with the Network section. And proceed though all of them. The other way is to open Frontview on the NV+ in one browser tab and Frontview on the Pro 6 in another. Starting with the Network section and the interfaces, you will note difference in the layout. Then just copy your settings from one to the other. When I set up my first x-86 box a year ago, this was how I did it.
Even going from one x-86 box to another, I didn't copy the config. I shut down my NVX Pioneer and moved the disks into my NVX BE, and the config of course went with it. I then set up the Pioneer as a backup target, so the config was different (except for the mirrored shares).
