Ready NAS 104 connect to Ready NAS NV+
I recently purchased Netgear, Ready NAS 104 as my Netgear, Ready NAS NV+ is running, at almost, full capacity.
Is it possible to link Ready NAS NV+ to the Ready NAS 104 admin?
Doing so would simplify administration.
Thank you.

RAIDar will let you see the status of all NAS, and then manage each - which might help a bit. Apart from that, I don't know of any method.
I lost my NV+ (failed PSU) a while back and it took me longer to notice than it should have. One simple thing I've done to prevent that from happening again is to have the first backup job in every NAS send an email status (whether it suceeds or not), which gives me daily confirmation that all NAS are functioning. It is posslble to set up "dummy" backup jobs (two empty local shares) with email status.
Providing a single administrative portal is a good idea, perhaps post it in the idea exchange. Though Netgear won't change the NV+ at this point, and would likely only implement for OS 6..

Thank you taking the time to reply.
It would have been nice to be able to have added the NAV+ to 104 doing so would make management a little easier.

It'd be good if you could post it as an enhancement here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Idea-Exchange-for-ReadyNAS/idb-p/idea-exchange-for-storage?topic-zoom=&sort-by=&date-range=all
Many people (and businesses) have multiple NAS, and a way to integrate management would be useful.
