ReadyNAS 1100 Unsatisfactory
I only recently learned how it felt to configure my ReadyNAS 1100's, because previously my sys-admin had been the one doing the work. We invested in 2 ReadyNAS 1100 units a couple of years ago. One...
1) It is not possible to setup a spare or to select individual disks from RAIDar. I am presented with RAID-Level and RAID-Flavor. No spare and no ability to specify disks. I've walked through it several times. FrontView is not running until _after_ initial setup, so its clear that it wants you to setup an initial volume, then go back and delete it to customize. This is a bad decision for product design. I must wait for hours for an initial build in order to simply delete a volume and start over. I already tried RAID-1 with RAIDar setup and it apparently mirrored 1 volume across 3 drives.
2) I tried factory reset with 1 drive, hopefully to get past the initial build faster, but the NAS did not even come online with 1 drive, RAIDar scan never picked it up.
3) Another factory reset, after replacing all 4 drives, makes it to blue light blinking stage with NICs online, and never shows on RAIDar.
