ULTRA 6 RNDU6000 Single redundancy to dual
Hello I want to move from single to dual redundancy in my Ultra 6 but option in frontview is missing. Originally four 2tb drives and one 4tb drive and now 3x4tb, 1x2tb and 1 6tb. After disk replacm...
Can I replace that 6tb with 4tb or thats not possible?
thanks

Yes you can. Hopefully that will restore the dual-redundancy option.
If you do need to do a factory reset, you could take the opportunity to convert the NAS to run OS-6.
I just relized that I made a mistake, i dont have 6tb disk in my nas, i have four 4tb drives and one 2tb drive. Does it make any difference now?
Still last option is to replace that 2tb drive with 4tb?
Thanks

Then you should have the option to add a disk for redundancy.
I'm not running OS 4.2.x anymore, so I don't recall exactly where this setting is for XRAID. I think it is on one of the volume pages in Frontview, so maybe check all of those pages. Also it requires 4.1.16 firmware or later - likely you are already running that, since you've seen the option before.
Replaced 2tb drive with 4tb and still option for dual redundancy is not there.
Without that option adding 6th drive will only expand volume i believe.
