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...
There are two growth limits:
(a) You can not grow a volume beyond 16 TiB. But you can do a factory reset, and create a volume that is bigger than 16 TiB.
(b) You cannot grow a volume more than 8 TiB larger than its starting point.
Whether you go single or dual redundancy, you will need to do a factory reset/start from scratch - because with single redundancy you'd exceed the 16 TiB volume limit.
Also, because of the limits, you don't want to install 1 drive at a time.
For single redundancy, insert all 6 drives.
For dual redundancy, insert 5 drives. After the volume is formatted, add the sixth drive for redundancy.
