Issues moving a 6 disk XRAID set from a deceased Ultra 6 to an RNDP6350
Good day to all, First a little background... I have a ReadyNAS Ultra 6 that has been my backup platform to my production NAS (at home) for about 2 years. Recently it crapped out and I deter...
There is nothing stored in the NAS itself regarding any configuration. All of that is on the drives, so moves with your volume.
You should boot the NAS with a scratch drive and see what OS it's running. If it's 4.2.x, I suspect it is, then you'll need to upgrade to 6.0 using that scratch drive (if I recall your PM correctly and you were running OS6 in the Ultra).
Before you do the conversion, you should upgrade the memory to at least 2GB (the memory from your Ultra6 is compatible) and back up the VPD file (see Backup-and-restore-of-VPD-file-for-legacy-ReadyNAS-running-OS6).
Thank for your response. I suspect that a factory reset will be necessary to clear the old configuration data and clear the error, and I have disks I can use for a test disk. What I'm concerned about is if I can ultimately install the 6 disk RAID set from the damaged Ultra 6 into the RNDP6350 and regain access to the data on it and, if so, how to do that successfully.
