ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition with Intel Xeon X3230 CPU
Hi All, I've been following some of the CPU upgrade articles on this forum and pulled the trigger on upgrading my Pro BE to Intel Xeon x3230. Also upgraded OS4 to OS6.9.3 - Thanks to all of the tal...
OK, that's a configuration file issue, then. Your screen dumps didn't show up when I first replied, and I didn't realize you were using the core temperatures to determine you only have two. Check dmesg.log and see if you see a line continaing x86: Booted up 1 node, 4 CPUs. If so, it's seeing a 4-core CPU. The command lscpu can show you even more.
The configuration you need to modify is /etc/sensors.d/system.conf, which by default on a Pro6 should be a pointer to /etc/frontview/sensors/NV6.conf. Restoring the link or just copying the NV6.conf to /etc/sensors.d/system.conf should fix the voltage issues, but I don't know about the CPU core issues since I don't have a Pro6 with a quad-core CPU. The configuration for my 4-core Xeon based 4200s actually ignore all core temperatures and set the CPU temperature in the lower section of the file to "temp2".
Actually, that was one of my first steps. It was from one of your posts i picked up bios update. I also just double checked and made sure that it is the latest bios 07/26/2010 FLAME6-MBV2.0
However, one thing i didn't fix when I upgraded my CPU whilie in OS 4.2.31 althought, the system seems to be running fine, I get this string of errors, exactly the same as this post from Denis1, I couldn't find the solution to this, so I upgraded to OS6 then the error below disappeared. If the indication means I have to fix the error below prior to updating OS 6, then any suggestions would be much appreciative.
DDB18 power is out of normal range [expected: 1.80 current: -0.00].
AVCC power is out of normal range [expected: 3.30 current: -0.00].
VCC3 power is out of normal range [expected: 3.30 current: -0.00].

VCC1_5 power is out of normal range [expected: 1.50 current: -0.00].
VCC1_05 power is out of normal range [expected: 1.04 current: -0.00].
3VDUAL power is out of normal range [expected: 3.30 current: -0.00].
VBAT power is out of normal range [expected: 3.30 current: -0.00].
Fan 1 has failed (SYS -1 rpm).

Thank you for showing me where to confirm this. I just checked dmesg.log and I saw the following. I will continue to run OS6 over OS4, only when i'm on OS4 I get these voltage errors.

Do remember that as running OS6 is not supported on your NAS it's even more important than it would be otherwise to make sure that you backup important data primarily stored on the NAS regularly.
Yes, it used to take at least 12hours to sync 4TB, but now it sync'ed with half time approximately. I'm very happy with the upgrade, I'm still running on 2GB of RAM but it will be upgraded to 4G or 8G. Tyvm for all of the suggestions and recommandations.
