3 TopicsMigrate ReadyNAS Pro 6 to ReadyNAS 526X? Questions: Diskless? Easiest reliable migration approach?
I have a ReadyNAS Pro 6 with 6 1TB drives and will need to upgrade. Since I'm running out of space and this unit is EOL it seems time to move on. I'm thinking I should get a ReadyNAS 526X. I'm thinking to get it diskless and then put in 4TB WD Red or Red Pro drives. Any thoughts on that? Most importatly, what is the easiest reliable approach to migrate my data? I've done some searching. It seems like the options include: Rsync - not sure that is easiest enough for me to easily handle? Is there a good current tutorial someplace? Could I just swap the 6 existing 1TB disks from the Pro to the 526X and then sequentially replace them with the larger 4TB disks and allow it to rebuild on the growing array? I assume simply copying folders over the network is a PITA and subject to errors? Is there a way to connect the 2 NAS via USB while doing the migration, would that help? What is best approach?

Hi, I have a problem, I have a client with a venerable ReadyNAS Pro6 in situ and wants it replaced. I went with a ReadyNAS 516 hoping the migration between the two would be realitively simple (hey ! both readyNAS and surely clients are expected to migrate to newer models - right ?) The system has many shares configured (around 45) The system has many users configured (around 40) The system groups users into 6 groups Authentication is by username and password so .... we buy a 516, do a confguration export from the Pro6 (running OS4) and attempt to import it into the 516 (running OS6) it doesn't like this - basically loses most accounts !!!! trying to restore the share structure is even worse ! Is there a way to migrate share structures, permissions/settings and user/group data between OS4 and OS6 without having to burn a large amount of time manually re-entering everything ? Thanks in Advance, Mark3.9KViews0likes16CommentsMigrating disks from DEAD Ultra6+ to my new 516
My Ultr6+ died, but the data on the disks is fine. I purchased a new 516 per support, so that I can migrate the disks from the Ultra6+ (NO BACKUP) to the 516. I have been trying to get an expert on the online support chat but have been on hold forever and a day :-D Are there directions somewhere for me to follow to do this migration proceedure? I have searched the forums without luck. Thank you!!!Solved3.1KViews0likes4Comments
