Pro6 Upgraded from OS6.X to 6.2 Lost Raidar Access
Hi,
I had my readynas Pro6 with 6 3TB drives running perfectly with OS6.X from the start, it was actually a breeze. Then I upgraded it to OS6.2 without a problem and it ran for a month perfectly. I had a UPS fail which I am assuming rocked the readynas and my 3 other readynas machines with hard unexpected shutdowns.
Three of my 4 ReadyNAS boxes came up without issue but the Pro6 came up on the wrong IP. I attempted to access it from Raidar and it won't let me access (it shows the drives and the OS version). I am not able to access through SSH either. Here is the odd part, it said something like 30% full on the screen once during boot up and I know its about 70% full. I adjusted my router to put the MAC address at the previous assigned IP which was successful. I was still unable to access with Raidar or SSH.
I also attempted to restore the OS 6.2 firmware from the tech menu and that did not change a thing. I am able to browse all my shares and even my Plex addin is still working just fine.
I can see all the shares and access them. a quick test shows all my data is there and accessible but I just cant get in. As all of you know moving 12TB of data will take weeks to get off the NAS so I am trying to avoid that.
Any ideas would be profusely appreciated to get me back up. I didnt want to try a USB OS restore yet and decided to post here for some ideas so I don't do any damage.
Thanks for all your assistance, ideas or solutions.

- Since you are able to access the shares but cannot get the data, have you tried connecting a PC directly to your ReadyNAS Pro6 and check if you are able to access and get your data stored in it?
- USB Boot Recovery is a last resort. I wouldn't try that.

I don't need to connect directly. I can access everything on the shares still, I just cannot access raidar.- The web admin UI isn't working for you?
What error do you get when you go to that? Does it show "Device Offline" or do you get a different error? - I've gotten the same issue. After upgrading to 6.2 on my ReadyNAS Pro6 I get a device is offline warning when I connect to the admin page. My ReadyNAS is not sending out alert messages as well, but the rest of the services are working. Is there a way to restart the box without using the power button?
I'm currently running on version 6.2.2, but have the same problem. This problem came with upgrading from 6.1.9 to 6.2 - Do you have SSH access?
- No, I haven't enabled SSH access. But I can do so after next hard reset of the Pro6. The Admin view is working the first hours after reboot
