Upgrade from RN102 to RN104

Hi all, I have the RN102 with two 3T drives on OS 6.2. Each formatted to FexRaid JBOD. I want to expand to the RN104. Will it be as simple as moving the two drives over to the new box or will I have to start the new box off as new?

  • I am rethinking this.

    I see a lot of issues when people upgrade from 6.1.x firmware to 6.2.x firmware.

    Are the freezing issues common in 6.2.x with an RN-102/104?

    Are the solvable? Some threads seem like they were never solved...

    Thanks,

    I don't have a lot of time to troubleshoot a freezing issue.

    Most users systems are running fine, but some have had issues.

    6.2.3 beta has helped most affected users. We are still working to resolve the problem for some users.
  • Thanks... what would you guess my odds of upgrading with no issues?

    I understand its a complete guess, but your guess would be a lot better than mine :)

    Most likely you will be fine.

    Do you have a backup?
  • Mdgm-

    Of course... but I don't want to have to reload 3TB of info and sacrifice the current reliability I have (I have no freeze-ups, etc.)

    I think I will risk it. I'll let you know how it works out afterwards.

    Thanks again for all your help!
