NV+ from 250GB to 8TB - best method
From reading the forums, I get the feeling that I have 2 ways to move from a single 250GB drive in my ReadyNAS NV+ to 4 2 TB drives. 1. Add the 3 drives and let the upgrade complete and reboot. T...
Ok. No add-ons so I can skip #3 & %. And after the backup I would power down and install the new drives. Then factory default in the power on cycle by holding the paper clip in the reset hole for 30 seconds. Once it comes to life, find the drive on RAIDair and sign in using the defaults. Restore the backup and then reboot. At that point I should be completely up to date!
Or can I do a factory default from Frontview after I install the 4 new drives? Will RAIDair see the box with the new drives?
Sound right. Just don't want to miss anything!
Again. Thanks. I don't fool with an install/upgrade with these baoxes very often. One was purchased in 2006 and the only thing I've done to it is the regular firmware updates and replaced a power supply. The 2nd box was purchased in 2007 and Netgear replaced it when it went DOA a few years ago. This new (used) box is getting the works. Just did a memory upgrade (successful) and now the drives. So they just sit there and work for years at a time and it sure is great that this forum exists since Netgear won't help and even when I had one still in warranty, it took over a month to get replaced! Thank you.
