Yes you can. Make sure it is a v1 (sparc based) platform though. You can't migrate to a v2. http://www.rnasguide.com/2012/01/09/how-to-tell-whether-i-have-a-duo-v1-or-duo-v2-or-nv-v1-or-nv-v2/
If the NV+ v1 is running different firmware, then it will upgrade (or downgrade) the OS to match it's flash when you boot it up. If you purchase an NV+ for this purpose, you should bring it up with a scratch disk first, and install the right firmware on it. If you don't know the NV firmware, just install 4.1.16.
Of course any NV+ you find will be quite old (they stopped manufacturing it in 2011).

It should let you read the data, but it won't copy by itself. You might try another volume next, just to make sure it's not specific to that particular one.
Others have used this software, but it might not work with flexraid. Are you comfortable enough with linux to try booting the PC from a linux live CD?
Thanks but I am not confortable enough with Linux so I will try to replace the power supply or buy an used NV+.
Anyway can I move the volumes from the old NV to an NV+ without any issue or is better to replace the power supply of the old NV?
