2-drives replaced, start over, how?
This would be a moot point if I was on-site, but I am not, I am remote. I had a tech from a vendor go in and replace 2 failing drives. he didn't wait to talk to me and slammed them both in without letting resync happen. No biggie, this is a backup only device so I just need to "start over." Only issue, I am NOT seeing a way to do this from a linux server via command line and I don't wanna reset without finding a way first.
My ONLY access if I factory default is going to be from a command line from a connected Linux server. BOTH servers on the network are Linux. If factory default throws it to 192.168.9.x then i am hosed because that is NOT my network. RAIDar is installed, but that appears to be GUI as well? I just need to set IP's then I can go back to web-admin.
Is there any way to allow this to factory default reset, then get in via command line to at least set the IP's back to what they need to be? Can someone tell me where to find the steps?
Thanks all,
John Binner

- BY default the NAS will automatically pickup an IP address via DHCP when you factory reset it, so as long as your server assigns it the I.P. it needs you should be able to simply do a factory default.
- We dont run a DHCP, these are web servers, they have static IP's. I suppose I could "force it" to hand ONE address out, since it's the only device on the network, but I am not that clear on Linux on HOW to do that.
