RN104 Disk Upgrade Limit
I just want to confirm. I have a RN104 running 6.4.1 in X-RAID (RAID 5). It currently has 4 x 4TB drives installed with one volume. I have ordered 4 x 8TB IronWolf drives which are on the Hard Dis...
Yes. You need to be running 6.4.x (or later) to support volumes > 16TB on the RN104.
The NAS will need to wipe the disks. If they are unformatted it should wipe it and start syncing right away. Wait for the resync to complete before replacing the next disk.
No apps installed, so I should be good to go.
Thanks
Did the upgrade now I can not connect to the NAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
disk lights and activity lights are all on solid.
display will not light up when i press power.
does not respond to ping
What do I do now................................. any suggestions before I unplug it?
You could try rebooting it, yes.
Did you update to 6.6.1? That is the latest firmware, not 6.6.0.Yes 6.6.1
Thanks.
I am a little trigger shy after loosing all my data on a 6 drive ReadyNAS a couple of years ago. It locked up during a drive upgrade and after reboot nothing, no volumes. It is still in my cupboard, I dream of figuring out how to recover it one day.
We do sell data recovery services to make a data recovery attempt. If the data on your 6-bay is important to you you may wish to consider pursuing that.
