Migrate a volume os6 readynas 316 to 516
I am currently running a 516 poppulated with 6 wd 4tb drives in raid 6 i have a backup nas 316 poppulated with 6 seagate iron wolf pro 10tb running same up to date firmware. I want to expand the 516...
Whether the 516 gets the same IP depends on how it is assigned. If it is assigned by DHCP reservation, then it will stay the same, as it will follow the MAC address. If it is staticly assigned by the NAS, then it will follow the drives until you change it.
You can migrate disks between OS 6 NAS - so that will work. (BTW you can migrate between X86 and ARM OS 6 NAS too, but that can create trouble with platform-specific apps).
It's best to make sure they are running the same firmware version first.
