No raid option on RND2110?

[Zangetsu]

Good day everyone.

If this question is in the wrong place please forgive me and move it to the appropriate section.

My question is it possible to setup my new readynas 2110 without raid so I can setup 2x 1000gb as 2tb instead of just 2x 1000gb as 1tb

What version of RAIDiator are you running? If not already running the latest please update to this.

By default the ReadyNAS is configured to use X-RAID. You want to use Flex-RAID.

To use Flex-RAID, you need to:
1. Backup all data
2. Verify Backup is good
3. Upgrade to latest RAIDiator if haven't already
4. Do a factory default (http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/boot/how_do_i_use_the_boot_menu)
5. Using RAIDar (http://www.readynas.com/downloads) find the NAS, click setup and choose Flex-RAID. On the new Duo v2 there is a new JBOD option (if you have the v2 select this option as it will create a separate volume for each disk).
6. If you don't have the Duo v2 delete the volume automatically created and create RAID-0 volumes (one per disk). That way if one disk fails only the data on the volume on that disk is lost.
7. Restore data from backup

I cant seem to get into the boot menu, when i press the reset button for 30 sec and power on the device its power led keeps flashing then a few seconds later both disk led's go on and off and the power led keeps flashing.

You can boot the NAS, login to Frontview and do a factory default via that alternatively.

After the factory default starts, you run RAIDar from a PC (step 5 in mdgm's earlier post)

Using RAIDar (http://www.readynas.com/downloads) find the NAS, click setup and choose Flex-RAID.

Also note that this must be done in the first 10 minutes after the factory default. The system will start a counter and when you access the Duo via RAIDar, you will be presented a menu of choosing X-Raid for Flex Raid. If no action is taken in this 10 minute period, the unit will default to X-Raid.

Also remember that after a factory default or OS reinstall, the admin password will be netgear1.
