Upgrading from RND4000 NV+ V2 to RNDU4000
Hi all I am going to upgrade my RND4000v2 to RNDU4000 I have 2 x 3TB x-raid2 have some files on them What should I think about or how do I do the upgrade without loosing my files, I don't have any s...
[lecture]You really should have a backup. Without one your data is vulnerable. RAID is not a substitute for backup. I'd get two new disks for the ultra, and use the NV+ for backup. [/lecture]
The disks will be wiped when you insert them into the ultra.
What you could do is take one disk out of the RND4000 (while it is running) and confirm you can still access the files.
Then insert that disk into the RNDU4000, which should wipe it and create an empty volume. Recreate the shares, users, etc with Frontview. Then copy the data over the network (Frontview backup should work).
After the transfer is complete, you can then move the remaining disk out of the RND4000, and insert it into the RNDU4000. It should wipe it, and build a redundant volume.
