ReadyNAS Pro 6 Pioneer Edition cannot boot after OS4 to OS6 upgrade
Greetings! I had upgraded my ReadyNAS Pro 6 Pioneer Edition to OS6, and when it first rebooted, all appeared well. The hard drives were building a new RAID set, and Raidar saw the device on the net...
Yes. Actually, the RAID set was created in a EDA500 connected to a RN314. Once I replaced the drives into the EDA500, it "rebuilt" for a short while and is now fine.

Did you export the volume before you removed the disks?
I've never used the EDA500 - Sandshark has, and likely knows the expected behavior if you attempt to migrate an EDA500 volume in this way.
No, I did not "export". I had created a volume on the EDA500 and used robocopy to mirror the raidset on the Pro 6 to the volume on the EDA500. That took a week! I do have another backup, just in case.

Not surprised. Robocopy was likely the bottleneck - RSYNC or NFS backup jobs would have run faster. Still, Robocopy is very robust.

Thanks. I may try one of those other options next time.
The other thread I cited had mentioned some data regarding the RN model and serial number being missing, and preventing the device to go past the ReadyNAS logo. I do understand that the OS upgrade is not supported by Netgear, but anyone that could provide a procedure to get RN Pro 6 back up and running would be greatly appreciated.
