Upgrading Firmware on ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition
Hello everyone -- I intend to perform a firmware upgrade on my ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition. The unit has 6 x 2Tbyte disks installed, single volume is RAID-6, but hasn't expanded as the initial 1T...
You should be able to expand the volume after the firmware update. Expansion is not destructive.
Do note a few expansion limitations
1. Cannot expand by more than 8TB. If your volume capacity was 1.8TB when you last did a factory default you cannot expand past 9.8TB
2. Cannot expand past 16TB. However you can do a factory default with disks in place to get a higher capacity volume than 16TB. Or create an additional volume if using Flex-RAID.
