Trusty old NV finally died, what next?
I have a trusty (well, used to be trusty) old NV (original model, not the +) that suddenly became unresponsive and had disk 2 and 4 lights on, then on a hard reboot it was completely dead. The ques...
Unfortunately I don't know anyone with an NV+, and I'm fairly certain the array is OK (or at least it was before the NV fell over dead).
The NV is WAS completely unresponsive, even with the power supply from the 1100 (which I know is good and I believe is compatible with the NV). But now that I've messed with it a bit, I can occasionally get it to come up (but not reachable by Raidar) with a solid #2 and #4 drive light with blinking power button. This is true with both the original array and a spare drive...I haven't found out the key to the lights, so I don't know what error they are reporting.
I don't have a complete backup of the array, although critical info is duplicated in other areas and all I would lose is non-critical data that would just be extremely time-consuming to re-create and re-centralize.
I wish there was a way to tell why the 1100 doesn't want to recognize the array...it seems to me it should give some sort of error if there was something wrong.
It is starting to look like I should start fishing for an old functional NV on eBay!
