ReadyNAS NV+ OS Upgrade from 4.1.15 to OS 6

[Yoda1492]

Hello,

I have an ReadyNAS NV+ running RAIDiator 4.1.15.  It has 4 Seagate 1TB drives in it.  Since the system is out of warranty, I would like to replace OS 4.1.15 with OS 6.x (whatever OS 6 version you recommend). Here are my questions on this:

1.  Can someone point me to the procedures to do this particular upgrade? 

2.  Will I lose all data in doing the upgrade?  I can back it all up elsewhere if need be. 

3.  Does a Factory Default need to be performed? 

4.  Are there any limitations/shortcomings for the NAS after it has been upgraded?  For example, would apps be expected to work?

I see on this forum where several people have been successful in replacing the older NASs with the new OS. I hope to add this NAS to that list of happy people.  Thanks for any assistance with this task.

You can't install OS6 on legacy Sparc ReadyNAS such as your NV+.

The only legacy NAS it will run on is legacy 64-bit x86 ReadyNAS. It will run on your Ultra 6.

Thanks!  That is good to know.  It works fine with OS 4 and has no issues.  Appreciate the information.  Have a great day.
