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.
I have no apps installed on the backup drive (316) it is purely a backup of the 516
i had originally thought if i migrated the disks from the 316 to the 516 all the information would be there and it wouldn’t change the settings etc on the main drive (516) the ip address etc would remain in tact so that things like my HTPC that are mapped to it wouldnt be disturbed
if that is not the case i may as well buy a 626x as the 628 isnt compatilbe with Plex temporarley take the 516 out of the system unplug it along with lan connection set up the new 626x configure it the same host name ip addresses etc enable the Plex server having signed out from the 516 then restore it with the media files from the 316 decomission that and teplace it with the 516 migrating the drives from the 316 iron wolf pro 10tb
i would really like to populate the new 626 with WD Red Pro 10TB just waiting for them to be approved
