Problem setting up my Duo v2

Hi there,

 

I have some issues with my Duo v2 NAS. Firstly, it was a chassis only when I got it as a present, and of course I bought 2x2tb HDD and installed it. When first booted up and setted up properly, I clicked on to use the disks as a JBOD (no RAID), but it automatically put it to RAID1 (redundant) 2tb. I have made 2 factory default resets yesterday and tried it again, but it keeps me putting into RAID1 mode, even when I choose RAID0. It's kinda annoying. How can I use it in JBOD mode? 

 

Thanks

Model: RND2000v2 (ReadyNAS Duo v2)|READYNAS DUO v2 (DISKLESS)|EOL

Hot insert means, that should I install the second drive while it is running? 

 


Yes.

Can you confirm that is it actually a v2?  The labels can be confusing, and many v1 owners mistakenly think they have a v2.

 

A v1

  • says "ReadyNAS Duo" on the front chassis
  • runs 4.1.x firmware
  • might say v2 on other labels

a v2 

  • says "Readynas Duo v2" in the front chassis.
  • runs 5.3.x firmware.

Do a factory reset with only a single disk in place, and select RAID0.

 

After initial setup, hot-insert the second disk, and then create a second RAID-0 volume from the admin web ui.

Yes, I confirm it is a v2 model (Front panel label, model numberplate on back, and also the ReadyNAS HW info confirms it). It runs the latest software (Raidiator 5.3.13)

 

Hot insert means, that should I install the second drive while it is running? 

 

Thanks for the help!
