iSCSI Expand Successful but Not Provisioned
iSCSI existing 2TB MBR disk with lots of data (dB, mail) expanded successfully to 3TB leaving the existing 2TB and 1TB of additional space. I am unable to use a commercial product or Windows disk mgt to convert the MBR to GPT to truely expand the existing iSCSI disk to 3 TB. Other then creating a new iSCSI disk with 3TB and formated to GPT and copying the data over, what options are there to make the additional 1 TB of space available to truely expand the existing disk? Thanks...2.2KViews0likes2CommentsFactory Reset to Expand Drives 3200 4.2.28
Hello. I have a ReadyNas 3200 Running firmware 4.2.28. I expanded the drives from the initial defualt of 9TB to 12TB. Now I want to do a factory restore since I have upgraded many of the disks to 3 TB. I backed up the entire system and did a factory restore. It says Volume C is syncing (7.6% complete) it also says "This ReadyNAS is resyncing. During this process the system is accessible. I logged in with the defualt user and password but on the main screen it says Online, X-RAID2, 12 disks, 0% of 9223 GB used Does it need to finish resyncing and then it will expand? It is now smaller than when I started the process? It took 2 days to back it up and now I am dissappointed to see the sice as 9223 GB - Someone please tell me that this is normal and that after it is finished syncing it will automatically see the extra space and expand? ThanksSolved5.2KViews0likes12CommentsExpand ReadNAS capacity by adding another NAS
Hi! I have a ReadyNAS NV2+, and am rapidly running out of storage space. I looked at buying a new 8-bay NAS (from various manufacturers such as QNap), but these see to be many times more expensive than the ReadyNAS 4-bay units. So, my question is this: can I buy a second ReadyNAS, and link it to my old one to expand the capacity? Ideally, I'll like to link the 2 NAS together to maintain a single volume (rather than having two separate NAS), and have them run in X-RAID2 mode to mitigate HDD failure. Any thoughts on how I can do this (or a more appropriate alternative solution) most welcome! Many thanks in advance!Solved3.3KViews0likes3Comments
