ReadyNAS NV+ access #26406628
I have used this device for five years. The power supply died. I replaced it. Installed the drives are in the same locations. All files and access were back, AFP, CIFS, https (Frontview). Ther...
No. This is not an issue with the firmware on the flash and if it was you should use USB Boot Recovery not TFTP.
There is every indication that this is a problem on the disks not on the flash.
Hi again,
All backred up but not seeing the boot menu choices for a reset.
(see replies to Stephen B)
Anyway all choices do the same thing,
Booting...
I was contemplating swapping the drives around, probably out of desparation thinking about if the boot sector in the array was gone, maybe the system would take care of itself and reset. ???
How do I do a USB Boot Recovery? It isn't is the manual.
Thank you
Ok, swapped drives around and no change on the Aux Switch menu or results.
If I hold the microswitch down past the intro, it goes to
Reset Switch
OS reinstall
But nothing I do the Backup switch changes the menu, it just proceeds to the OS reinstall...
Booting....
Updating FW . . . 2 (no drive lights)
Booting... (constant drive lights like all other cases)
How long would you say 4 2TB drives should take to boot? I have left this alone for eight hours in OS Reinstall and User Diag.
In all cases I can shut down with the power button.
How do I do a USB Recovery? Will that help? Is it a recovery of the system chasis or is it just for backing up? A USB did not come with this unit.
obtw
I am Sparc v1 not v2 as listed on some of my messages. RAIDiator 4.1.14 was running.
Are you wanting to do a factory reset? If so, try removing all the drives, and unformatting one in a Windows machine (right-click on computer, then select manage. After that, scroll down to disk management and delete all the partitions).. Alternatively, using the vendor diag (seatools for seagate, lifeguard for western digital) to zero the drive.
Then boot up with just that drive installed. The NV+ should do a factory install. After you confirm that it boots, you can hot-insert the remaining drives one at a time (it will need to resync after each).
STEPHEN,
That was easy! Nice to see Create C: I this because it was a DISKLESS or is the FW on all the units like this?
Thank you,
CARL
