DUO: Change disk1 to bigger one. No raid
Hi got two disks both 1Tb. Bought a new 2 Tb disk and wanna replace the disk1 for this bigger one. I have no raid at all so I can't just replace it. Is there a way of saving the system from disk ...
The process is on page 22 of the user guide (http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/ ... 6Dec11.pdf)
I'd add the step of saving the configuration, in case you need it. (And personally I'd back up both volumes).
1. Back up the data in the volume.
For more information, see Back Up Files on page 78.
2. From the FrontView main menu, select Volumes > Volume Settings.
3. Click the tab for the volume you want to delete.
4. Click Delete Volume.
You receive an email message when the deletion process starts and another when the deletion process finishes.
5. Remove the disk from your ReadyNAS system.
You receive an email message alerting you that the disk was removed and your data is no longer protected.
6. Insert a new compatible disk.
You receive an email message alerting you that a new disk was inserted.
7. Create a new volume including the new disk.
For more information, see Create a Volume on page 20.
8. Restore your backed-up data to the new volume.
