ReadyNAS NV+ OS Upgrade from 4.1.15 to OS 6
Hello,
I have an ReadyNAS NV+ running RAIDiator 4.1.15. It has 4 Seagate 1TB drives in it. Since the system is out of warranty, I would like to replace OS 4.1.15 with OS 6.x (whatever OS 6 version you recommend). Here are my questions on this:
1. Can someone point me to the procedures to do this particular upgrade?
2. Will I lose all data in doing the upgrade? I can back it all up elsewhere if need be.
3. Does a Factory Default need to be performed?
4. Are there any limitations/shortcomings for the NAS after it has been upgraded? For example, would apps be expected to work?
I see on this forum where several people have been successful in replacing the older NASs with the new OS. I hope to add this NAS to that list of happy people. Thanks for any assistance with this task.
You can't install OS6 on legacy Sparc ReadyNAS such as your NV+.
The only legacy NAS it will run on is legacy 64-bit x86 ReadyNAS. It will run on your Ultra 6.

Thanks! That is good to know. It works fine with OS 4 and has no issues. Appreciate the information. Have a great day.
