Also, put a scratch disk (must not be from your array) in the RN314 and update the firmware on that to at least as new as what you were running on the RN104, verify the firmware update was successful, then power down, remove the scratch disk and migrate your disks across (keep the order the same).
so i got my new readynas 314 .... did the scratch disk thing and updated my firmware ... powered down and migrated my disks over
now i cannot access the admin panel!!! i can see the data on the network , RAIDar sees the nas and allows me to reboot , get logs etc but when i click admin , it says ' connecting to admin ' and says ' readynas admin page offline '
6.4.2 is the firmware , which matched the old readynas 104's and i had no apps installed on the old nas 😞
The admin ui runs at a low priority, so it is possible that some other activity (a volume check perhaps) is causing your problem. In that case, the admin ui should show up after some time,
Start with phone or chat support - that's the most direct path. If you don't have a current backup, you might start copying files to another device (just in case).
its reporting i have only 12tb of 16tb left when i actually have 4 x 6tb = 24tb
If you are using xraid or raid-5 then 4x6TB will give you 18 TB of storage. The remaining 6 TB is used for redundancy (protection against a single disk failure).
The NAS reports storage as TiB (1024*1024*1024*1024), not TB (1000*1000*1000*1000) - even though it calls it TB on the UI. 18 TB is the same as 16.4 TB - that's why your NAS is reporting 16. So this is completely normal (and it should have been reporting 16 TB before).
If you don't want RAID, you can switch over to JBOD- which will give you 4 volumes of 6 TB each.
RAID-0 is also possible (and would give you a single volume of 24 TB). But I don't recommend RAID-0. It is fragile - if any single disk fails you lose all 24 TB of data.
Either way, if you change the RAID mode you will need to destroy the current volume, create new ones using the mode you want, and reload all your data again. You'll also have to uninstall your apps first (and reinstall them after you've switched).
