Not what you are expecting from NAS
When you are using NAS, you are expecting to get your data back from the unit. Not the case with this one. Admin page or/and network share is not reachable. It is better to save data on SD card than...
With so little information, I wonder whether you have powered it on?
What are the symptoms you are seeing, other than it's inaccessible?
I have a very old Sparc based ReadyNAS like the one you list, although not used routinely anymore, and I never had a problem with it for the past 10 years, other than it's a bit slow by todays standards!
ReadyNAS NV+
It is powering, booting. While it is booting it is accessible through RAIDar.
After some time, indicator show the IP address, as if booting is finished. After that you cannot connect to the unit, as if there is not ethernet connection at all. At the same time the router reports that the unit requested and got IP addres from DHCP list and active (ping works).
But at the same time RAIDar shows that no NAS is accessible in the network. Blue power light slowly turing on/off, "Act" indicator blinking.
Every next startup is following the same steps.
Waited 2 days, without restarting, the same - no connection, slowly glowing power light, 'Act" is blinking, correct IP addres on the display. What is it doing - no idea.
From a browser, can you use the {NAS IP address}/admin shown on the front panel - in fact, is that a proper IP address, maybe DHCP is a problem or something.
If you pull the Ethernet cable out, I think it wakes up the display, and then 'reconnects' to the network when you plug the cable back in. I can try it out, but I only have a Duo (no display).
Also check/report the IP address of your PC.
HTTP request for {NAS_IP}/admin (or /shares) report the same: "ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT"
I can see that DHCP provides the IP and the same IP is displayed on the display of ReadyNAS. I revoking the IP, new IP is provided during next boot.
PC just fine - I'm working all the day remotely, so connection is stable withing local network and outside of it.I see that the unit is not responsive, so willl try the Factory Reset later, does not matter, data is already unreachable.
