Replacing 2Tb Seagate Hdd with 3/4 Tb Disks
i have to upgrade storage in one of ReadyNas Pro at our company. its RNDP6000 with 6 Seagate Hdds each of 2Tb in XRaid. Please guide me about the process of replacing the Hdds. i would like to use 3tb...
The procedure is to do a backup, then remove one of the disks, and insert the new one with the NAS running. Wait for the resync to totally complete before moving to the second. The backup is an important step, as the RAID array has no redundancy while the expansion is in progress.
There are two expansion limits - the first the NAS will not expand to more than 16 TiB. If you need more than that, you will need to do a factory reset with all storage in place, and restore the data from backup.
The second limit is that the NAS will not expand a volume more than 8 TiB from the starting point. If you did your initial install with 6x2TB all in place, then you will reach the 16 TiB limit first.
