ReadyNAS X6 is now called what?

OK, thanks, Stephen, for all advisories. I'll look into gathering all the necessary stuff, hard drives, firmware and software to give the box a maximum upgrade.

Best regards,

Johan.

OK, Chirpa, thanks for the memory advisory. As for the X-raid expansion, I was not even aware of this possibility. However, taking your advice, I'll start all over. This is a procedure I found somewhere:
1.Backup all data
2.Verify backup is good
3.Upgrade to latest RAIDiator for your NAS if you haven’t already. You can check the latest version of RAIDiator under System > Update > Remote in Frontview. If a newer version than what you’re running is offered, update. Be sure to reboot the NAS when prompted to complete the update.
4.Optional – If you don’t want to reconfigure the NAS manually and would rather restore the NAS configuration after the factory reset, do a System > Config Backup (keep the zip file that is downloaded as this is what you will need to restore later).
5.Power down the NAS, remove old disks (label order) you no longer wish to use in the NAS, if any.
6.Put the new disks in the NAS and do a factory default using the ReadyNAS boot menu
7.Optional – if you don’t want to reconfigure the NAS manually, restore the Config Backup.
8.Restore data from backup

Is this still correct?

Johan.

There is one missing step. You need to reinstall any add-ons before you execute step 7. If you don't do that, you end up with the system thinking that add-ons are installed when they are not. If that happens, frontview won't let you install over them, and it won't let you remove them either.

Dear,

I've done the update to 4.1.10, but now my ReadyNAS won't fully boot up again. Services are not available. It responds on the network, can be found by Raidar. I can login with the former root account. Last line in the messages log is 'NAS exiting on signal 15'.
Can anyone help me out with this?

Best regards,

Johan.

Johan,
I think I had a different X6 caller at work recently. I'm not keen about putting V4.1.10 on
an X6, and would like you to hold at V4.1.9. But that's my hunch.!
Let us know of your findings.

Hi, Marto, thanks for your reaction!
Meanwhile I had opened a support ticket and was advised to do an OS Reinstall (holding the reset switch, power on, wait 5 seconds). Have done this yesterday evening and this worked well. It took some time (half an hour), but now V4.1.10 is installed and is working well. FYI, my box is a ReadyNAS 600. So now I'm set for the next step and will look to replace the current disks (300 GB) with 4 disks of 2TB to upgrade capacity of the box.
Best regards,
Johan.
