Change Raid Modes - NETGEAR RNDU4000-100NAS Software Manual

Change RAID Modes

You can change the RAID mode that your ReadyNAS storage system uses. Because this
process erases all data, if data is stored on your system, you must first back it up to another
storage device before changing the RAID format.
The process involves resetting your ReadyNAS storage system to factory default settings
and using RAIDar to configure the volume during a 10-minute delay during boot.
Change from Flex-RAID to X-RAID2
You can reconfigure your ReadyNAS system from Flex-RAID mode to X-RAID2 mode.

To change from Flex-RAID to X-RAID2:
1. If any data is stored on your system, back up your data.
For more information, see the
page 130.
2. Perform a factory reset reboot.
WARNING!
Setting your ReadyNAS system to its factory defaults erases all
data and configuration settings.
The process for performing a factory reset reboot varies by storage system. For more
information about how to perform a factory reset reboot, see the ReadyNAS Ultra, Ultra
Plus, NVX, and Pro Series Hardware Manual.
During the factory reboot process, you have a 10-minute window to choose a RAID
configuration. RAIDar sends a prompt to click the Setup button during this 10-minute time
frame.
