LS-QVL/R5 Add new Hard Drive and Create Raid 1 Array
« on: September 11, 2011, 06:51:15 PM »

I bought a Linkstation Pro Quad LS-QVL/R5 when a previous server failed; the LS had no disk drives when I purchased it.  My previous server had two drives in a Raid 1 array.  I installed one of the drives in the new LS.  Everything installed perfectly, and I have one working drive in Normal mode.  I now want to add the second drive.

 

Can someone provide the instructions so that I can add the second drive to my LS-QVL/R5 and set it up as a Raid 1 without losing the data on the first drive in installed?

 

When I tried to just plug the 2nd drive in, I get a continuously flashing blue light.  When I try to follow instructions I've found on this forum to 'flash the firmware', they do not work.  The NAS is never identifiable from teh NASNavigator2, and therefore I'm never able to run the firmware install.

 

Regards,

BJJ
