Migrate drives from ReadyNAS NVX to ReadyNAS 212
I've searched in this forum but I could not find a answer to my problem.
The power supply to my old ReadyNAS NVX (4 bays) died, so I bought a new ReadyNAS 212 (2 Bays).
I am left with the 2 drives from my NVX, which were mirrored (Raid1) that I need to migrate to the RN212.
I found useful information on how to migrate at this link: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/29957?cid=wmt_netgear_organic
Unfortunately when I insert the drive from my legacy ReadyNAS NVX into the RN212, the RN212 does not become available on the network and I can't access it.
Can anyone here help?
Thanks.

The RN212 is ARM. The article states that you need an x86 model. See http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/29957/~/readynas%3A-migrating-disks-from-raidiator-4.2-to-readynas-os-6-(x86)
The following are our x86 OS6 models:
RN312
RN314
RN316
RN516
RN716X
RN526X (just released)
RN626X (just released)
Thank you mdgm-ntgr .
I got that link from this other article: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/29875/~/readynas%3A-migrating-disks-from-raidiator-to-os-6?cid=wmt_netgear_organic
but there I don't see a link to instructions to migrate drives from the NVX to the ARM OS 6 (RN212), unless I'm blind.
Or maybe that's not possible because of the difference between Intel (my legacy device) and ARM (my new device) ?
Can you please help?Thanks!
For disks taken from a dead legacy x86 box you should go with a new x86 box. If we supported going legacy x86 to current ARM we would have mentioned that.
