Migrate from dead ReadyNASRNDP6000v2 (ReadyNAS Pro 6) to another
Hi all,
I have a ReadyNas Pro 6 that died a few days ago (will not power on). I do not want to lose the data on these drives. I see two options; replace the PSU or get the disks working in anot...
Hi @kevinattone
Welcome to the Community!
There shouldn't be any issues placing the disks on your spare Pro 6. However, since it has been in use it's firmware might be outdated than the one that broke down.
I would advised inserting a spare disk to set it up and then make sure it's firmware is updated or has the same firmware with the one you have used then you just need to make sure you nsert the disks in the same order.
It should boot normally since it has the same OS and architecture. Other members might also have other advise on how to do it but there shouldn't be any issue swapping the disks out. You're right swapping the PSU will put in more work but it's another option.

Hi all,
Thanks for the responses. Migration worked like a dream. Updated the firmware, as suggested then simply transplanted the disks into the old unit in the correct order. Worked great!
Thanks again,
Kevin
