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.

  • Increase the size of the hard drive - greyed out

    We're just trying to prepare for production and of course do some tests.

    I created a new Windows 2008 R2 64-bit server and played a bit with this with different scenarios includes the increase in the size of the virtual disk without any problems.

    I waited for Converter 4.3 so that I can convert some of my Hyper-V 2008 R2 servers.  One of our servers in development that today ' today, I converted with very few questions.  I converted the source without changing the size of the disc etc, so he created as a thick disk with about 42 GB in size.  I then played with vMotion (and also to stop the virtual machine so that I could also spend data warehouses) and at the same time changed the type of disc to thin.  Once more everything is ok.

    So the next test was to change the size of the drive... but unfortunately when I select Edit settings, then 1 hard drive, everything is gray, even though I turned off the VM (although one I created as new machine is fine to change even when powered by the look of it).

    So is this something to do with the conversion process?

    The only thing I see that is different, wise hard drive between the two is that one that is ok is defined as a SCSI device node, whereas the convert is an IDE.

    Any help most appreciated.

    Thank you

    That's your problem.  You cannot increase the IDE drive unless you use the converter again.  What I would do, is to do the conversion again, and this time, in step 3 change the controller to the SCSI (LSI).  This will then give you the option to increase the drive to move forward, without the use of the converter.

  • Increase the C: drive and reduce the E: drive decrease?

    Hi all

    My c: drive------fills constantly which is causing the overall performance of my laptop to be very bad. It is very slow! I don't have a lot of files etc on my C: drive, but it still keeps filling in shortly after a cleanup and defragmentation. My E: drive is constantly empty and I want to be able to use this space on my C: drive.

    I don't want to move the files to the E: drive 'free' space on C: because I don't have a lot of files on C: to move.

    Can I change the volumes of each drive to increase the capacity of C: and diminish the ability of e: or can I remove E: and give all the space on C:

    Any help would be appreciated?

    Thank you

    Hello Colin

    In General, you can do what you want and all this can be done in computer management > disk management.
    I don't know what model of laptop you have, but for laptops with HARD drive recovery image, it is not recommended to change the partition structure because it can have a negative influence on the HDD recovery procedure. If you have ever portable model and you created the recovery DVDs then you can do this. For the installation of the OS, you can use recovery disk installation only.

    Back to your question.
    In my opinion there is no great sense to change this structure of score because you can use the free space on the second partition for your daily activities. I don't know what you're doing exactly, but all your data like mp3s, pictures, movies, office stuff, and anything else can be saved on the second partition.
    You can also set the second partition as the target of download and all files you download will be saved there.

    Your sentence is a little strange to me.
    > You wrote
    > I do not want to move the files to the E: drive 'free' space on C: because I don't have a lot of files on C: to move.
    So I wonder what you do to fill the C partition, but there is nothing to move. Can you please explain it to me?

  • 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?

    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.

  • Avoid loss of data and to increase the storage capacity on EP T310

    Hi all

    I am looking to increase the storage capacity on a PE T310. When I look in disk management it says C: virtual SCSI disk to 232 GB and 11.9 Gb free. Physically, I see 4 HDD connected when I look in the box. Don't know if its reading HARD drive all for or what how was set up that part of my problem. the OS is windows 7 and this I see that the internal controller is the SAS 6/IR. Essentially, this box is used as a centralized storage, but ideally as a server with shared resources. And Im very new to the RAID configuration and working with SCSI. I read the operators manual and I saw many capabilities that this server can do, but I'm not familiar with the activation of these functions.

    Issues related to the:

    1. How will I know which configurations have been implemented for storage?

    2. How can increase storage without losing any data?

    Please help.

    TY!

    >> 1. How will I know which configurations have been implemented for storage?

    You will need to go into the bios of the controller (ctrl-c) to see how arrays are configured.  Software OpenManage won't work on Windows 7, only on server operating systems.  This controller supports RAID 0 and 1.

    >> 2. How can increase storage without losing any data?

    You should have a second table available for storage.  This will be confirmed in the controller BIOS.

    Let us know what is configured in the BIOS of the controller, and we can help you further.

    Kind regards

    You can't do this with the tools built into Windows XP, but you can use third-party disk partitioning tools. Although these tools are generally safe, it is always a good idea to make backups before using an any of them.

  • It is possible to combine hard disks to increase the space for the C: drive?

    My c drive is running out of space. However there enough space in the hard disk in the other readers. Is it possible to combine one or two partitions c and increase the space available in c without formatting. I'm using vista Home premium

    It is possible, if you format a partition you want to combine. If you have some data, you can move them to another place or external drive. Then I say you want to combine the D and C drive (you could do it with any other drive):

    1) go to start, then right click on computer and then click on manage

    (2) then find storage-> disk management

    (3) right click on the D drive, then click on remove

    (4) then right click on C, then click on expand

    Note that in this case, as I said information on drive D will be lost. So make sure you save them. It might be a question that if you install something on drive D, you will need to reinstall it.

    Drive D example right, you have picked any other player.

  • How can I increase the size of my partition on the C drive?

    I am constantly running out of space on drive C, I have tons of space on my D drive partition. How can I move the partition to increase space on my C drive?

    Hello

    By "tons" of space on your partition D:, what size does this mean?

    D: partition, if 5-15GBs is normally the recovery partition, except on a few machines, and should not be bothered with.

    Acer for example on the previous models used D: as a data partition, which is OK to change.

    To extend C: into the space where D: is currently > back up data on D: > and then delete D: > D: becomes now allocated space > extend C: into the space where was D:.

    Here is a tutorial on how to do it:

  • I am running vista home basic, how you can increase the size of the D: Recovery drive

    I am running vista home basic, how you can increase the size of the D: Recovery drive

    Hello

    You use the D: Partition of recovery in 3 different ways to reinstall the operating system.

    1. you press a particular key or key combination at startup, F10, F11, Alt + F10 etc. to begin the process of recovery in new condition (as you bought) in the event of system failure.

    2. start > programs > find software from the manufacturer of your computer > look for a recovery method

    3. you can do recovery disk to reinstall the operating system in case of hard drive failure.

    This will save you the purchase of the computer manufacturer's recovery disks.

    The manufacturer will advise you on the options

    How can I increase the size of the D: drive?

    Your D drive is the configuration of your Partition recovery by the manufacturer of your computer.
    It is used to restore your system in case it crashes.
    It is not to be touched, adds anything in or remove anything from him.
    The recovery Partition is usually around 10 GB. That's all he needs to store the files for recovery.
    I strong suggest that you don't mess with it.

    If you want to create a System Image backup, please do so in an external hard drive.
