Storage and Snapshot freezing!

[aah57]

TS-EC1280U R2. XEON-E1246V3. 8GB ECC RAM. QTS 5.0.1.2248.
Storage Pool 1 (RAID 6). WD (HGST) UltraStar 12TB. 5 DataVols. 1 BlockLUN. Storage Pool 2 (RAID 5). WD Purple 10TB.

Hi all,

Two days ago after 6 years I upgraded all the drives in my office NAS (details listed above) and reinitialized it. Subsequently, I created Storage pool 1 without any fuss. I also created the DataVols and a BLUN. without any issues. However, as soon as I created the Storage Pool 2 (took about 18hrs to synchronize), the Storage and Snapshot menu stopped loading. The machine freezes for a while, and eventually comes out of the coma either functioning with very very low performance, or I have to reboot the NAS altogether. I had 3 Storage Pools (all with the same HDDS: WD Red Pro 4TB) in the past without any issues. What gives? Drives were checked before performing any RAID configurations.

Is this a RAM issue? CPU is at about 16% idle, RAM is at 34%. I have no apps (Container, VS, QVR, ...) installed as of yet. I generally wait for the machine to finish a synchronization process before I move on to do anything else. If I don't touch S&S menu the NAS seems to run fine. Could it be a corrupt S&S and I have to reinitialize? I really hope not. Does any of you have any ideas? Need to get this working again before the week starts. Thanks

Resetting NAS to factory defaults and formatting all volumes was my final solution, which worked out. I'm grateful I had already backed up all my data. QTS still has its flaws for production environment deployment.
