Increase the capacity of ReadNAS by adding another NAS

Hello!

I have a ReadyNAS NV2 + and I'm quickly running out of storage space. I tried to buy a new NAS 8 bays (from different manufacturers such as QNap), but these see be several times more expensive than 4 bays ReadyNAS units.

So, my question is this: can I buy a second ReadyNAS and bind it to my former capacity? Ideally, I will like to connect the NAS set 2 to maintain a single volume (rather than having two separate NAS) and run in mode X-RAID2 in order to mitigate the failure of HARD drive.

Any ideas on how I can do this (or a more appropriate alternative) more welcome!

Thanks in advance!

You cannot link ReadyNAS ito create one volume, so you would need run the two NAS independently. If you add network locations to windows file Explorer (or create shortcuts to office for different actions), it would be fairly transparent for users.

Some NAS models support a plug-in (an EDA500), but the NV + v2 is not one of them.

  • Is there a method to increase the capacity of a basic partition?

    Original title: hard drive partitions are reversed - the OS is on drive H, and drive C is almost empty

    I did a system recovery (destrutive). I deleted a partition. C and D remain as choices on the recovery console.  There are three choices. After recovery, I had Windows XP 1985-2001.  I upgraded to XP version 2000. After the upgrade to SP2, including all updates and is about to finish with SP3 and microsoft security essential, I discovered that the operating system has been installed on the wrong drive.

    Is there a method to increase the capacity of a base score, after that is already part of the formatting of the hard drive?

  • Increase the capacity of the hard disk for VM

    Hello

    I use ESX 4.0 with vSphere 4.0.

    When there is no snapshots more I would like to increase the capacity of the hard disk of the virtual machine in the menu to change settings / Hard disk. There is MS Windows Srv 2008 R2 64-bit installed.

    What is the right way to do it? Operating system, there is no problem with this increased disc? Primary partition will automatically increase as or what I have to do it myself later?

    There should not be problems with the guest operating system when you increase the size of the virtual disk. After the increase in size in the settings of the virtual machine, you need to resize the NTFS partition in the VM Windows 2008 disk management.

  • How to increase the processing speed by connecting to another computer via USB - USB cable

    Share laptop processing power. Windows 8, Windows 7

    Hello

    I was wondering if I could increase my processing power by connecting a portable alternative to mine via a USB to usb cable. If anyone knows how I would go to do that, or if it is possible I would like to know. I searched on google but not found all the answers.
    If this can help, my laptop is running Windows 8 32-bit preview developer, and the portable alternative is running as Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you very much
    Mike

    Hi MichaelSenior,

    You will not be able to increase the power of a computer processing by connecting it to another computer via a USB cable or by any other means.

    In order to increase the processing power of your computer I suggest you check with your computer manufacturer to see if you can pass any hardware on your computer.

    Example: Increase the size of the memory on your computer or upgrading the processor etc...

    Hope this information helps you.

    You need not worry. It is supposed to be like this.

    It's only the purpose to hold a full recovery for your operating system Partition.

    Do not restore points save, or anything in that partition.

    Increasing the local data store on the installation disc is not possible through the user interface and cannot be supported. At http://deinoscloud.wordpress.com/2010/05/03/how-to-increase-the-size-of-a-local-datastore-on-an-esxi4/ you can find a walkthrough on how to grow the local data store on ESXi 4.x with ESXi 5.0, you should not use «partedUtil resize...» "instead of fdisk (remove a recreate the partition) to change the size of the score well.

    For information about how to use partedUtil, see for example http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1036609

  • Increase the capacity of the drive to ReadyNas 3200 RN12P0000-100WWS

    Nice day!

    We have 12-Bay device (ReadyNas 3200 RN12P0000-100WWS) with 2 TB each disk (WDC WD2002FYPS)

    Firmware: RAIDiator 4.2.28.

    Could you please help me understand is possible to change the HARD drive in 3/4 to? And if it's possible could you please share the part number & model of HARD drive (Western Digital are preffered)

    The 3200 only supports drives that are more capacious 2 TB in bays 1-4. In the bays, 5-12 you are limited to 2 TB drives.

    There are a few limitations of expansion for RAIDiator - x 86 4.2.x

    1 cannot extend over 8 to over the life of the volume, so if the capacity of the volume is 1.8 to when your last made a factory default (erases all the data, settings, all that) you can't expand beyond 9.8 TB

    2 cannot extend beyond 16 TB. Do a factory default (erases all the data, settings, everything) with the disks in place. However, with for example 8x2TB and 4x4TB using X-RAID2 it would create a layer using 12x2TB then try grow to use the 2 TB remaining on 4 TB drives and fail. You could use Flex-RAID and create several volumes.

    Note our RN3220 and RN4220 do not have these limitations of expansion but they use a different OS and file system

    You could get a 3220 or 4220 and new disks and backup data from the former NAS to the new NAS then reverse backup jobs to use the 3200 for backups of your important data.

    P.K.DAS

    In disk management, you can not extend any partition unless there is unallocated space to the right of the partition.

    If you have another partition next to C then you need to use a third-party utility to shrink this partition and then move that unallocated space is adjacent to the C drive, allowing you to extend it.

  • PCoIP and how to increase the capacity of a sweet view customer image decoder

    We see a huge difference in this capacity between a zero client and sweet and I was wondering if anyone knew if it is possible to change this functionality on the soft client?  We find that the zero clients have 10 x vs the soft client capacity.  Basically, in a network scenario EXTENDED, we see that zero clients perform slightly better than the soft client and made the difference in ability of the decoder picture wondering.  The soft client is a ThinOS (Stratodesk) running on an I5 gen 4 processors and 2 GB of ram.

    An update... it looks like the piece of performance has nothing to do with the customer to view and is on the side of Stratodesk (need to use an image with a newer set of drivers).  If anyone is wondering what the ability to image decoder is here was the response of Teradici support:

  • Increase the capacity of data store, which with the block size?

    Hello

    I am trying to expand my datastore 2 TB, I added a new lun 2 TB of the FC SAN TB 4 even and there is no problem adding this in the existing data store.

    But the existing data store is formatted in VMFS3 with a block size of 4 MB for a maximum file size of 512 GB. But when I try to extend the data store to select the size of the block is set to 1 MB and disabled.
    The measure automatically takes on the size of the original block or wil he get a block size of 1 MB? There are some > 256GB files on the existing data store and I think I'd get a strange behavior, if half of the data store is 4 MB and the other half is 1 MB blocksize.

    Can anyone confirm that the blocksize wil be the same for the measure?

    I can also make a second warehouse 2 TB one manually fracture the virtual machine on 2 data warehouses. is there any advantages or disadvantages to this approach?

    Don't you worry, add an item to an existing data store certainly will not change the size of the block. In any case, if it is an option that you can use two data warehouses, I would. With two distinct data warehouses that you will not only be able to spread the load on each of these LUNS but also avoid the complexity. With ESXi 5 (VMFS-5), a single LUN can grow up to 64 ~ to without needing extensions.

    BTW, a 4MB block size allows 1 TB less than 512 bytes.

  • How to increase the capacity of my iTunes iCloud?

    I have a big disco in my iTunes (probably 300 GB.) I recently paid $24.99 for iCloud music, but it's not big enough for my entire library.
