RN214, query on a 2nd vertical expansion
Hello Forum Simply query, just checking. Can I carry out a “vertical expansion” more than once? I have a RN214 ( 6.10.3, X-RAID) which already went from 4x 4TB to 4x8TB, and I am just about t...
remove all disks from the 214; (do I need a reset ?)
Well, the system will do a fresh install when you insert the two 2x12 disks, which is the same as a reset.
7) convert the Flexi-RAID to X-RAID.
Not sure you'll be able to do this, you might end up stuck in FlexRAID. Not the worst outcome, but not ideal.
But at moment, this RN214 is on 6.10.3 (and so is the other 214, the 424 is on 6.10.4)
Personally I'd upgrade both to at least 6.10.9 There is no need to do this sequentially.
6.10.10 does have some security fixes, but it also removes the ability to install apps from the web ui. If you don't care about that, then you should go to 6.10.10.
