Best hardware solution to help a crashed ReadyNASRND4000
Hi! Here's the background info on my problem: I own a ReadyNAS RND4000v3 (so the lable says) as I use as the family file server. It has worked like a charm for almost seven years. Some days ago,...
You have an NV+ v1 platform (a sparc based NAS). The "v3' in the label means it was the third hardware revision of the v1.
You have a couple of options:
- if you can connect all four disks to a PC, you can boot up the PC under linux and mount the data volume manually. That would let you off-load the data.
- You can try replacing the PSU in the NAS. There are some off-the-shelf PSUs that will fit, but they will need some modification to the pinout. Post back if you are interested in trying this.
- You can also find a PSU replacement here: http://www.evercase.co.uk/CompatibilityListReadynas.htm Rather expensive though.
- You can purchase a new NAS, and mount the volume temporarily with help from support. You'd then need to off-load the data, do a fresh install on the new NAS, and then restore the data. https://kb.netgear.com/29876/ReadyNAS-Migrating-disks-from-RAIDiator-4-1-or-RAIDiator-5-3-to-ReadyNAS-OS-6
