ReadyNAS 312 Vertical Expansion - First Time
We needed to upgrade a client from their existing 2Tb Raid 1, to a 6Tb Raid 1. I verified that the WD Black 6Gbs were in the acceptable (compatible: http://kb.netgear.com/20641/ReadyNAS-Hard-Disk-Com...
Just manually triggered the RAID array to expand to use the additional space on the disks. Once this is complete the volume should then expand.
It's easy first take your time and be patient!!!
312 that means only 2 HDD if I remember!
1 step for RAID 1 prepare your 2 new HDD
2 extract first HDD from the 1 st tray of the array and replace by the new one then put it back
Warning message will flash you'll go from dedundant to degraded, then after 5hrs around be back to redundant!
3 same thing for disk 2
Warning message will flash you'll go from dedundant to degraded, then after 5hrs around be back to redundant and then automatically it will expand the volume 5 extra hours!
voila
regards!
I forgot TAKE YOUR TUME BE PATIENT!
A friend of mine a complete jackass lost 4Tb by doing taking of all his disks thinking that the device will trun back his datas in the thin air!
The new disk must be new or if recycled Low level formated!
