The disk is reformatted and becomes available for use with your ReadyNAS OS 6 storage system.
Migrate a Volume
You can migrate a volume from one ReadyNAS OS 6 storage system to another, as long as you migrate
every disk in the volume. For example, if you want to migrate a volume that contains two disks, you must
add both disks to the new system. If you add only part of a volume to the new system, the system recognizes
the disk as a degraded volume.
If your ReadyNAS storage system is operating with one or more disks, you can add disks while the system
is running. The new system recognizes the migrated volume and its data. For more information about adding
a disk while the system is running, see
Add a Disk
on page 21.
If no disks are installed on your ReadyNAS, perform the following procedure.
To migrate a volume to a diskless ReadyNAS OS 6 system:
1.
Gracefully shut down the new (diskless) storage system.
For information about how to gracefully shut down your system, see
Preferred Shutdown
on page 16.
2.
Remove each disk in the volume from the old system.
3.
Install each disk in the volume into the new storage system.
For more information, see
Add a Disk
on page 21.
4.
Turn on the new system by pressing the Power button.
The new system recognizes the migrated volume and its data.
Add a Disk
You can add 3.5-inch disks.
If you want to add a previously formatted disk to your storage system, see the instructions in
Previously
Formatted Disks
on page 20.
To add a disk:
1.
Determine whether you must shut down your system:
•
If you are adding disks to a diskless system, gracefully shut down the system.
For information about how to gracefully shut down your system, see
Preferred Shutdown
on page
16.
•
If your system is operating with one or more disks, you can add disks while the system is running.
You do not need to shut down the system.
2.
Remove the screws securing the chassis to the rack and rails.
3.
Pull the system forward from the rack until the rails lock partially extended.
Use care when pulling the system forward to keep from stressing the cables attached to the back.
4.
Unscrew the two thumb screws on the front of the chassis.
