NAS540 4x12TB migration

MarkusDesk · June 2022

Hello, today I only have a 12TB HDD in my NAS540. I didn't create a Disk Group when I installed it. Now I want to put more 3x12TB HDDs. But I read there is a 16TB volume limitation and that I should have a Disk Group. As I didn't create a Disk Group when I installed the first 12TB HDD(and it is almost full), is there a way to put it in a Disk Group?

There is no way to add a volume into disk groupthat was created to a volume already.
To add the disk into new disk group need to backup the data firstly, and then delete the volume and create a new disk group volume.
Maybe you can give a try what Mijzelf said in the article.
