Migrate 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? Thanks

HELP - Former ReadyCloud users cannot see shares after My.Netgear migration
Good morning, ReadyCloud is effectively down and unusable for my client. Would appreciate any help you can provide ASAP! The day of the dreaded My.Netgear migration arrived. I was able to successfully upgrade the core ReadyCloud user to a My.Netgear account, upgraded the firmware from 6.4.0 to 6.5.0, rebooted, and asked 20ish users to go through the ReadyCloud to My.Netgear account migration. I found afterwards that they did not show up under ReadyCloud's Management page as being attached to any shares. Although the My.Netgear account appeared to be correctly associated with ReadyCloud on the local admin console, I turned off ReadyCloud, and disassociated the account. I reassociated it and added one user to one share. This user had previously been a ReadyCloud account, but we transitioned her to a My.Netgear account before the disassociation. Added user to the share via email address (same address as associated with her ReadyCloud and My.Netgear accounts) from the Management pane with Read/Write permissions. Afterwards, the user received the verification email from ReadyCloud, and the envelope icon showed up on the share in the Management pane. The user successfully verified and now the envelope icon is correctly changed to the person with the cloud icon, however if you log onto that user's My.Netgear account you see that no shares are available. I repeated this process with my own email address, which had never been attached to ReadyCloud. I was correctly prompted to create a My.Netgear account, and I was able to add myself to the share with Read/Write permissions and see it while logged into my My.Netgear account with no issues. I suspect the best solution would be to permanently wipe out the old ReadyCloud accounts associated with this client and have them build fresh My.Netgear ones, but I can't find any mechanism to do so. I am certainly not going to request the customer pay for support when the system is broken on Netgear's end! Please let me know if there are any other steps I can try or any other insights you can provide. Thanks! Oscar

Did I get my migration email early?
I logged into my readycloud account and was not prompted to migrate. Did I get the email early. I think I've got my self ready when you are. The only thing I found is I've got a few accounts I forgot about and for my sanity I'd like to find a way to take all the readynas accounts and pool them so I can clean house. I still have this account which for forever was my account and another [my.netgear] which I had to use for products and support and a few readycloud accounts that I forgot about Thanks

migrating from a Pro6 (OS4) to a 516 (OS6)
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, Mark

Migrating 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!!!
