Update RN516 BIOS to support VT-x
After reading the forums, it appears that I need a BIOS udate for my ReadyNAS 516 to support 64-bit VM's since VT-x is not enabled in my current BIOS as my BIOS date is pre 07/03/2013. Here is my bios_ver.log: :::::::::::::: /sys/class/dmi/id/product_sku :::::::::::::: RN516 :::::::::::::: /sys/class/dmi/id/product_name :::::::::::::: ReadyNAS 516 :::::::::::::: /sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid :::::::::::::: 00890023-D21D-B211-8000-841B5E2740D2 :::::::::::::: /sys/class/dmi/id/board_name :::::::::::::: ReadyNAS 516 :::::::::::::: /sys/class/dmi/id/board_asset_tag :::::::::::::: To be filled by O.E.M. :::::::::::::: /sys/class/dmi/id/chassis_serial :::::::::::::: To Be Filled By O.E.M. :::::::::::::: /sys/class/dmi/id/product_version :::::::::::::: 03/18/2013 ReadyNAS-516 V1.0 :::::::::::::: /sys/class/dmi/id/chassis_vendor :::::::::::::: NETGEAR :::::::::::::: /sys/class/dmi/id/modalias :::::::::::::: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvr4.6.5:bd03/18/2013:svnNETGEAR:pnReadyNAS516:pvr03/18/2013ReadyNAS-516V1.0:rvnNETGEAR:rnReadyNAS516:rvrTobefilledbyO.E.M.:cvnNETGEAR:ct3:cvrToBeFilledByO.E.M.: :::::::::::::: /sys/class/dmi/id/chassis_version :::::::::::::: To Be Filled By O.E.M. :::::::::::::: /sys/class/dmi/id/bios_date :::::::::::::: 03/18/2013 :::::::::::::: /sys/class/dmi/id/bios_version :::::::::::::: 4.6.5 :::::::::::::: /sys/class/dmi/id/product_serial :::::::::::::: <REMOVED BY MODERATOR> :::::::::::::: /sys/class/dmi/id/sys_vendor :::::::::::::: NETGEAR :::::::::::::: /sys/class/dmi/id/bios_vendor :::::::::::::: American Megatrends Inc. :::::::::::::: /sys/class/dmi/id/board_serial :::::::::::::: To be filled by O.E.M. :::::::::::::: /sys/class/dmi/id/uevent :::::::::::::: MODALIAS=dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvr4.6.5:bd03/18/2013:svnNETGEAR:pnReadyNAS516:pvr03/18/2013ReadyNAS-516V1.0:rvnNETGEAR:rnReadyNAS516:rvrTobefilledbyO.E.M.:cvnNETGEAR:ct3:cvrToBeFilledByO.E.M.: :::::::::::::: /sys/class/dmi/id/chassis_asset_tag :::::::::::::: To Be Filled By O.E.M. :::::::::::::: /sys/class/dmi/id/chassis_type :::::::::::::: 3 :::::::::::::: /sys/class/dmi/id/board_vendor :::::::::::::: NETGEAR :::::::::::::: /sys/class/dmi/id/board_version :::::::::::::: To be filled by O.E.M. Could I please get an updated BIOS for my unit. Thank you.SolvedUpdate ReadyNAS Ultra 2 Plus from 4.2.15...no download of 4.2.16 available
I have ReadyNAS Ultra 2 Plus running firmware 4.2.15. I haven't used it in a while and want to upgrade firmware. Several community posts indicated that I need to upgrade to 4.2.16 before I attemtp to upgrade beyond that due to some glitches when jumping firmware versions from 4.2.15 to 4.2.19 or 4.2.20. However, 4.2.16 does not appear to be available on the support web site. Next version up available on web site is 4.2.21. Would I run into same problem if I ugrade directly to 4.2.21? If so, what do I need to do to upgrade firmware? I should mention that I have no driving need for any feartures or bug fixes in later firmware...I'm only using my ReadyNAS as a backup for computer on my home network. So I could probably live with staying at 4.2.15 if I had to. But I would like to keep my unit as up to date as possible.Solved
