Info Needed For Firmware Upgradation

Hi,

     I am Augustus. I am having a ReadyNAS 316 Storage Device with me. Its details are as mentioned below.

 

ReadyNAS

Model      :- 316

Capacity :- 6*4TB

Firmware:- 6.4.1

 

I need to update the firmware to the latest can i do that? or else i have to do that step by step process? 6.4 - 6.5, 6.5- 6.6 and goes on.., I think i have read in some page where it said that we cannot do a direct upgradation from 6.4.1 to whatever the latest is there. is that right?

Please help me.

That's a constraint for arm platforms (RN10x, RN20x), but not for your x86 NAS.

 

If you use the on-line update capability, it should offer you the intermediate firmware (in cases where that is needed).

Hello ZeroGravityAV,

 

Yes you may upgrade straight to 6.8.0 from 6.4.1 on an x86 NAS. Just make sure you also read the released notes.

 

Welcome to the community!
