    At what os6 version can be updated the RND2000? I saw from 6.0 to 6.10 but I'm not pretty sure what release must be selected.

     


    The current binaries would install 6.9.5.  If you want to convert to OS-6, you should upgrade the RAM from the stock 1 GB to 2 GB.  Some folks have run into out-of-memory issues with the stock memory.

     

    The instructions I generally give are

    1. BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP
    2. Upload PREPR4TOR6_0.1-x86.bin as an add-on using the ReadyNAS web gui, but do not reboot afterwards (avoids the need to do manual factory resets)
    3. Upload R4toR6_6.9.5.bin using the ReadyNAS web gui firmware update
    4. After you upload the addon+firmware and reboot, it will update the firmware and start a factory default.
    5. Go through the setup process on the converted NAS 
    6. Update the NAS to the current OS 6 if you like(check for updates will work).
    7. Restore files from the backup.

    Note that 6.10.5 has some issues (which need a hotfix to resolve).  If you upgrade to it, then I suggest is to leavomg the admin password set to password until you get the hotfix.  Otherwise you might get a nasty login loop that can be hard to resolve.
