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).
Yup, the Ultra 6 was running 6.10.10, No idea what the 6350 is running because I can't get it to come up clean...yet! 🙂

Did you try the factory default using the info in the hardware manual I linked in above? The test disk needs to be installed.
Not yet Steve, I'm about to but I want to be sure I have all the info I need before doing that

What information do you need?
I have it all now. I just added additional memory to the 6350 and installed the scratch disk. I'll use the information to try and reset the box to factory defaults. Please stand by!
