ReadyNAS nv+ V4 RND 4000 (DISKLESS) #24176805
Hi, I am in need for some advice. Mt NAS drive failed due to a power cut. The unit will power up and will not boot (the led on the backup button flashes fast). I am hopeful that I will get a replac...
If you power the NAS off and remove your disks can you get to the boot menu?
Yes, a Duo v2 would work. You need to make sure it is a v2 not a v1. This can get confusing due to labels with v2 on some v1 units. See http://www.rnasguide.com/2012/01/09/how-to-tell-whether-i-have-a-duo-v1-or-duo-v2-or-nv-v1-or-nv-v2/ for how to tell the difference.
The procedure for mounting an array from a 5.x system using a x86 Linux machine should be straightforward. What RAID level were you using? X-RAID? JBOD? RAID-1? Something else?
If you were to get a new ReadyNAS e.g. a RN102 or RN104 then assuming your disks and array are fine that could be used to try to get your data back. You would need to carefully follow advice as to what to do and in what order and have somewhere to backup your data.
Personally I think using a new ReadyNAS would be a better option than getting a Duo/NV+ v2 at this point.
