READYNAS Ultra 2 looses network connectivity

Hi,

Im having an issue with the network connection of my ReadyNas DUO Ultra 2.

When I start copying files into the NAS device, it looses network connectivity and it disappear from network. Neither RAIDar 4.3.8 cannot find it nor cannot ping it or connect through the browser. Also the second network interface doesnt work plugin a network cable.


Ive downloaded the logs and here are the errors showed for the second interface (date is wrong)

Feb 9 02:57:47 DATAReady kernel: eth1: -- ERROR --
Feb 9 02:57:47 DATAReady kernel: Class: Hardware failure
Feb 9 02:57:47 DATAReady kernel: Nr: 0x272

Feb 9 02:57:52 DATAReady kernel: Msg: Uncorrectable PCI Express error

Feb 9 02:58:14 DATAReady kernel: eth1: Port A failed.


For the first interface, I cannot find any error but it just stop working. Looks like the device continues up (I can see the leds blinking, but it is unaccessible).

I've tested OS6 in the READYNAS device to see whether that version solves the network issue, but also happens same issue, primary interface loose connectivity after some network activity, and second network interface doesn't detect cable connected.

Data can be deleted in the READYnas device, as I have external backups done.

I'm using MacBook pro for connectivity. ISP provider (Telecable in Spain) through Cable.

    Hi Nhellie,

    thanks for you information, very useful.

    I don't understand from this page... the replacement for my x86 model (RND2000) is an ARM model (RN10200). In case I have to replace it, I would like it was a x86 model too.

    The point is :) I just want the replacement for the Ethernet dual port, either through a new support I would be in a position to adquire or buying directly to them the replacement part. My end of warranty was last 23 Nov 2014, Is not a matter I'm trying to get it by free :lol: I want to pay :o


    Yours is an RNDU2000 and the direct replacement is RN31200, (but it does not mean that this is the only unit your can use).

    Ha, I see but as far as I know Netgear does not sell parts only, probably you might need to replace the entire chassis so I agree with vandermerwe, might as well just get a new NAS.
  • Well, I'm in that tesiture I'm now.

    I wouldn't like to buy a new one just because this minimum part is faulty (Imagine replacing the whole laptop just because the CDROM doesn't work).

    But I will need to start thinking about. Close 400$/€ for a new device against.. how much it can be this small replacement?

    Anyhow, I didn't recevice any new update in my ticket hence the options to get the replacement are getting reduced...
  • They should explain to you what the extended support covers. If it's not hardware at all, then it's pointless going down that route.
  • @Vandermerwe, they did.. With the support offered in MyNetgear, it will not extend the Hardware Warranty of it, this will only extend the Support Warranty of the device. This just means that any Hardware replacement is not covered.

    Well, I don't need support but HW replacement :)

    @Nhellie, thanks for this very useful information. I neither found my device in that list, actually I was expecting the info you've provided feom the support directly.


    I will waitfor the official reply from support, with the possible options they could provide..

    I'm willing to find a clean and fast solution.. Buy another device, when it is a good option, I'd rather buy a replacement.

    Thanks to all for your information...
  • I don't understand why you would want to buy a replacement for an EOL product. Even if you find one to buy, it will have 0 warranty. The risk is then that you will have another hardware problem and be stuck back where you are now. It could end up costing you even more than a new readynas.

    With an x86 NAS such as the 312 you can follow steps provided by support to attempt to recover your data.

    If your disks and array are fine it should be very straightforward.

    He has a backup, even easier!

    It can be because I'm a romantic :lol: Something that has been with me since so long ago....

    No matter why, the point is... One month ago I would have HW replacement (by free!!) and now I'm talking to Support to pay for a replacement.

    I already reviewed prices and where to buy it. The decission was taken after the first error, I'm yet trying to assume it :rofl: and a second plan from support (you must have always a backup... also for plans).

    Again, thanks to all for your help and support.
