Hi @Tope6402
ReadyNAS Ultra 2 is also an EOL unit and it is also running on RAIDiator 4.2 not OS 6.
Both have different architecture, NV+ runs with Sparc and Ultra 2 on X86 and migration is only allowed on the same architecture. If you plan to move to Ultra 2 then you need to have your NV+ working first. You may want to check on this unofficial guide from @mdgm on moving from a Sparc ReadyNAS to X86 ReadyNAS very good information you can read on this unofficial guide if you will push through with the Ultra 2.
I would still advice getting an OS 6 unit like the RN200 series or RN400 series this way you will have the latest support and of course features. You will also have 90 Days phone support included.
Migrating to RAIDiator 4.1 or 5.3 to OS 6
Hope this helps!
Regards
