Unprotected \ lifesupp! \ failed disk test \ wtf?
Hi all! I've got a good one here. I'm running a ReadyNAS Pro 6 Bay (RAIDiator v 4.2.31) with 6 2TB WD disks (X-RAID2) that are on hardware compatability list. I've had this beast for about 9 year...
I didn't think OS 6 would run on older hardware. Am I wrong there?
OS 6 will run on your Pro 6, here is how to do it:-
- BACKUP all your data as it will be overwritten
- Download and run in OS 4 http://www.readynas.com/download/addons/x86/4.2/BIOS_Update_Package_0.5-x86.bin this will check and update your Bios if necessary
- Upload it using the ReadyNAS web gui firmware update
- Download PREP4TOR6_0.1-x86.bin
- Upload it using the ReadyNAS web gui firmware update, but do not reboot afterwards (avoids the need to do manual factory resets)
- Download R4toR6_6.9.5.bin
- Upload it using the ReadyNAS web gui firmware update
- After you upload the addon/firmware and reboot, it will update the firmware and start a factory default.
Thank-you for that. I did some reading and I didn't realize that it was a tiered upgrade so thank you for the information on OS4.
Everything is finally upgraded and the new Raidar install shows 6 healthy disks. It took a good 3 days to to build after the final OS6 patch.
Now that this is all done, Raidar tires to send me to the admin page where I am met with a setup wizard. I go through the motions and there is an attempt to reach the admin page but it just loops right back to the wizard.
Any thoughts?
Try clearing your web browser cache, close your web browser, reopen the web admin page and have another look.
You could also try doing the wizard using a different browser.
