Migrate Ultra 2 Plus volume to Ultra 2
I'm planning to upgrade a fully working ReadyNAS Ultra 2 Plus to OS 6 (unsupported of course). As a first step (obviously after backing up) I'd like to move the entire X-RAID2 volume to a recently ac...
1) It should work. The one caveat to that is SSH. Note that if you have never installed EnableRootSSH on the Ultra 2, you'll need to install that before SSH will work on RAIDiator-x86 4.2.31. If EnableRootSSH has already been installed on that unit at some point and SSH is enabled on the disks then SSH should work straight away when you move the disks across.
2) It's best to move all disks across. Power down, remove disks (label order). The Ultra 2 must have no disks in it when you move the disks across and be powered down. You may wish to recalibrate the fan under Status > Health.
The Ultra 2 has a slower CPU, which is the main difference between it and the Ultra 2 Plus.

Agreed. The OS conversion process reformats the disks anyway.
I recommend upgrading the Ultra Plus to at least 2 GB of RAM prior to conversion.
