Migrating from SHR to SHR-2 in a DS920+ - angelsurfer - 12-15-2022
Hi All,
I was wondering if it is possible to do an in-place migration from SHR to SHR-2 in a DS920+?
I was advised by a friend that I should move towards RAID6 as it can provide better redundancy especially during rebuilds.
I currently have a DS920+ with some old HDDs running in SHR.
I was hoping that as I start to replace the HDDs due to failures or online offers, I am able to migrate from SHR to SHR-2 in place without additional hardware.
Thanks for the help in advance.

Yes, there should be no issues with migration. I hope this helps https://kb.synology.com/en-au/DSM/help/DSM/StorageManager/storage_pool_change_raid_type?version=7

Thanks!
Looks like migration to SHR-2 from SHR is possible, but it mentions that I may need an additional drive.
It does not appear to mention if I can do it if all four bays are populated.
