Pioneer Pro dead, need advise to migrate
I have a Pioneer Pro that has recently died (I think)
Will not boot. It did show some signs of old age before it finally just failed to turn on.
The infinate reboot instead og turning off, and blinking diodes on the Lan ports as I´ve read on numerous other posts suggest a failed Psu.
I´ve tried hooking it it up with 3 other different psu´s but made no difference.
So I´m thinking the chassis has simply failed for some reason:-(
So here´s my question.
Will I be able to migrate the disks to a Readynas 314 and boot from that?
I know the 314 is only a 4 disk unit, and the Pioneer is 6 disks.
But I´ve used the Pioneer with dual redundancy, so actually a 4 disk array with 2 spare disks as I understand it.
I know many people have said that You only need 5 og the 6 disks to recover from Pioneer to say a 316.
So I´m thinking is 4 disks out of 6 from a Pioneer Pro with dual redundancy enough to recover all my data?

Whilst technically that should be enough it's not recommended. If one of the 4 disks should happen to be failing you may run into issues.
I would recommend getting the 316 and using that.
Do you recall which firmware you were running on the Pro Pioneer?If I remember correctly the Pioneer was running 4.2.27.
For all I know the disks should be fine and the array ok.
Yes, but if you have just the 4 disks installed in a new model if a problem comes up with just one of the disks then it could potentially lead to all your data being unrecoverable.
