Hi, I need some advice for the following upgrade I'm planning.
I've got a HP N54L with synology working perfectly. 2x 2TB disks in Raid 1 and one 250GB disk where I installed the packages/configuration on. Since the 2TB disks are almost full, I want to add 2x 4TB disks, also RAID 1, but want the volume of the 250GB disk as a volume on the new Raid set. This 250 GB will not be used in the N54L anymore then.
I'm not sure what the best way is to achieve this. I tried to copy the partition with partitioning software to one of the new disks but that didn't work.
My new plan is to boot the N54L with all disks de-attached except for 1 of the new 4TB disk and then start a new installation. After this I'll restore the configuration from the backup/restore package from synology itself. Then add the 2nd disk and create a Raid 1 set. The configuration should now be available on both of the disks.
As a last step I'll add the 2 2TB disks and add this as another Raid 1 set. The data on it will not be touched this way?
Should this work the way I think of?
When I'm booting the Synology with only one of the new disks, it tels me that an installation has been found and that I can migrate or install a new configuration. What should I choose then?
Thanks!
