All disks DEAD - Everything works .... ReadyNAS Ultra 6 Plus
Hi
yesterday all was good, today all 5 disks dead...
Raidar report Helaty
I dont think is is the disks that makes this issue, can it be the NAS box HW?
What are my options?
...
You are saying that everything works - including access to the web ui and the shares?
If that's correct, then the first thing to do is create (or update) your backup.
Then power down the NAS, and remove the disks (labeling them by slot). Then test them in a windows PC using LifeGuard. You can connect them with either SATA or a USB Adapter/Dock.
If you have a spare disk (not in the array), you can also try doing a factory install in the NAS while the disk tests are running. If that is successful, then try powering up the NAS with that disk in each of the 6 slots. That will test the SATA interfaces in the chassis.
Thanks for reply StephenB,
Yes everything works, and i have 100% backup.
But this error must be from the OS not the disks, so I was hoping to find a less hardware intensive solution.
New info for you guys, I did open the NAS 14 days ago, removed all disks, to clean out dust etc.
When i rebooted 2 out of 5 disks did not kick in. I removed the 2 and pluged them one more time, then all 5 kiked in, and SMAR showed Healty.
