You are right, that was not really well described. I meant, when the NAS had a reboot or shutdown and was turned back on, I couldn't access it anymore. It didn't claim an IP then (turned on again). I could only find when booting with the 'reinstall' option in my synology assistant.

For those who are interested: Solved, but only by reinstalling my Xpenology.

I've upgraded my N54L to DSM 6.1.4. Everything was running fine after the upgrade. The NAS is shutting down each evening by a schedule. After this shutdown I can't reconnect to the NAS anymore. It seems to me that it hasn't saved some settings or not booting fully. In my router I can't find the NAS being connected or claiming an IP Address. It's not visible in the synology assistant too. If I start the NAS in 'reinstall' mode it's claiming an IP address or if use a static IP, it shows the correct one and it's visible in the synology assistant. I can then reinstall the same version and all is working, until the next shutdown,. C1E in the Bios is disabled. Using DCHP or static IP doesn't make a difference. Anyone an idea what could be causing this or what I can check?

Not much replies , this is what I did. In case someone has a similar question. The new configuration is slighty different but it's far more easy to do it this way. There is no need to backup and restore data to volumes manually. At first I wanted to create 2 new volumes on the 4TB disks (RAID 1). 1 for the packages (called it config in my previous post) and 1 large volume to store data. Now I have 1 large volume on the 2 discs without having to backup/restoring everything. Initial setup: Disc 1 (200GB) - Packages installed and some shares with small size data Disc 3 (3TB) and Disc 4 (3TB) - RAID 1 - One large volume with data I placed Disc 2 (4TB) and created a SHR raid disc with Disc 1. Once the data was copied, I removed Disc 1 (after shutdown). The 4 TB disc holds the data and only has 200 GB of space to be used, but this will be solved. Replaced Disc 1 with a new, empy 4 TB one and booted. Then repaired the SHR volume with Disc 1. Now a large 4 TB volume is available with all packages installed. New setup: Disc 1 (4 TB) and Disc 2 (4 TB) - SHR raid - One large volume Disc 3 (3TB) and Disc 4 (3TB) - RAID 1 - One large volume

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!
