I have just upgraded my DS1817+ (8x10 Tb, DSM 6.2.2-24922 Update 2) to a DS1821+ (8x14 Tb, DSM 6.2.4-25556). I had two working DX513 units on the DS1817+ but after transferring the first one to the DS1821+ it doesn't accept it (there's no entry in Storage Manager). The DX513 has light in the "eSata" LED and the HDD LEDs are flashing occasionally, first all 5 off and on and then one after another off and on (from left to right). "Status" is off, which supposedly means "Not working".
When I upgraded to the DS1817+ (from DS1813) there was no issue, so I didn't expect one with the DS1821+ either.
Is it impossible to use a DX513 with a DS1821+? I don't mind if it doesn't run at full speed (I read somewhere that there was an upgrade to eSata to higher speeds), as long as I can access the data on it. Is there a setting I can make to get it to accept the DX513s?
If I decide to upgrade the DX513s to DX517s are the discs directly transferable, ie. can I take them out of the DX513 and plug them into the DX517 (in the same slots, left-to-right, of course). They are using SHR with 1-disk fault tolerance. One is 5x4 Tb and the other 5x6 Tb. They are in separate storage pools (ie. 3 pools in all - the DS1817+ itself, and one for each DX513).
I have returned the unit to my DS1817+ and it works there, so there must be some incompatibility or setting problem on the DS1821+
Please help...
