Unable to upgrade ReadyNas Duo v2
I am trying to upgrade this storage to a later release but it fails.
When I try the manual option it ends up failing to upload. I am trying to update from "RAIDiator 4.1.8" to "RAIDiator 5.3.13" (the file is called: RAIDiator-arm-5.3.13). Has anyone else experienced this? Do I need to go via a major 5.x.x release maybe?

You actually have the original Duo, not the Duo v2.
The labeling is confusing -
The (original) Duo v1:
- Says "ReadyNAS Duo" on the front panel
- Runs 4.1.x firmware
- Might have labels on the bottom or back that say RND2000v2. Those labels mean hardware revision 2 of the original Duo (not the same as the Duo v2).
The Duo v2:
- Says "ReadyNAS Duo v2" on the front panel.
- runs 5.3.x firmware.
The original Duo has a sparc processor, the v2 has an arm processor.
You can't run 5.3.x firmware on your Duo. The most recent (and final) firmware for the original Duo is 4.1.16 - found here: https://kb.netgear.com/000038792/RAIDiator-Version-4-1-16-Sparc
