Possible Corrupted VPD on RNDU2220
Everyone, I had an old NAS sitting in our Baton Rouge office. The Phd's there had no clue that a loud clicking noise was bad, and so it continues literally for years. Over time, the powering on/off and bad electrical serivce corrupted the firmware to the point it would not boot. I got a Jtag cable and fired up Putty on serial mode, eventually, I was able to get firmware loaded via a USB workaround. However, RaidAR does not report a Model and Frontview is mostly blank.
After many hours of research I came to the conclusion that the firmware VPD may be fragged. In past posts, the fix is straightforward, I am an RHCE, so Linux is my friend. I'd really like some direction as to how to get this thing back in business.
The SN=2EH10B0W00124, model=RNDU2000
Thanks tons.
The EEPROM needing fixing and now that it’s fixed the model number etc. is showing up properly again.
