[Cloning one Synology to another, how?]

Hi,

I see that the back feature has gone from within Synology now so how can I clone all the old data and settings from my old hp to my newly set up one?

[Changing to other hardware but advice on data moving& setup]

Hi,

I'm wanting to upgrade my N54l os 5.2 to os 6? but worried about the data being lost.

My current setup has 2 x 3tb drives and 2 x 2tb drives with redundancy and currently I only have 4tb of data on them..

 

I own another n54l so was thinking of  setting this up with v6 and adding 2 x 4tb drives in to start,( 1 drive with redundancy)  then I could copy the data from old unit to new.

Once it was done then wipe the 2 x 3tb from old unit and was hoping I could add these 2 x 3tb to the new setup with the current 4tb and extend the volume to accommodate the new drive and still have redundancy.

 

Would this work?

[N54l Whats the most unto date bios pls]

Hi,

I have just added a 5th bay to my N54l and wondered if someone can please advise / link to what the latest bios is I need to use.

 

Thank you.

[if on Unlocking 5th Sata Port N54L]

This option rings a bell.

SATA Port 4/5 IDE Mode = ENABLED

 

I'm sure I disabled it then it saw the 5th drive.

I have found thou that the bios doesn't seem to save settings since flashing it.

[if on Unlocking 5th Sata Port N54L]

Sorted it.

I went into the bios settings and turned off an option. Cant remember till I get home what it was but I'm sure it was to do with either turning on or off ide.

[if on Unlocking 5th Sata Port N54L]

Hi,

I updated the bios today and turned the options on in it, then saved the bios.

When booting up the bios post screen now shows 5 drives but once booted into the xpenology software it doesn't see it.

I have also noticed that the settings I changed in bios seem to reset themselves upon reboot.

 

It is setup as hybrid raid shr so I would have thought it would have picked up the new additional drive.

 

Any ideas?

[if on Unlocking 5th Sata Port N54L]

I'm going to upgrade my backup N54L this weekend and was looking at adding another drive.

I see there is a Bios upgrade you need to do to unlocked/speed up the 5th data port but am also reading about people who have bricked their N54l by doing this.

 

is there a specific requirement/age of N54l to do this and what Bios is recommended ?

 

thanks.
