Problems with READYNAS system (strange system errors)
So, I purchased a used 3200 on Ebay, that the seller listed as working, but had no drive caddys. I also happened to have a couple extra motherboards for a 4200v2 (one with a E-3450 CPU in it already...
Is the board you used from an RN4200 (lacks IPMI) or an RD5200 (has IPMI)? They have identical part numbers. If it's from an RD5200, then the IPMI and OS are likely having collisions WRT monitoring the board. See the SuperMicro X8SI6 documentation as to how to disable the IPMI.
If that's not it, maybe it's the board that controls the redundant power supplies, though I'm not sure why that would cause fan errors.
A problem with the system configuration file could also cause this, but I don't see in your process how that would have happened. The config for a 4200V2 in early OS6 was wrong, but it's been right for a while now.
I did the conversion you did and had no issues with it. Since you cloned the boot USB, the two NAS should show the same serial number, which will cause issues if you ever run ReadyCloud, but nothing else should cause a problem.
Well, it was good for awhile, but the fan error began again after about 6 hours. Then, after I had gone to bed, the HDD temp warning popped up again for disk 7 (which had no issues in the D-Link device, FWIW) and the system shut down.
This morning, before I turned it back on, I swapped the MB fan connectors for fans 1 and 2. Can't hurt and I'm really just not sure what else to try at this point. Went through all the logs last night and nothing really jumped out at me, but I did see all the fan speed permission errors you had reported on in a different thread.
Has anyone else had something like these issues happen? I would think it was the motherboard, but I'm getting the same issues with two different boards.I have another 3200 in my rack. It's just there for backups, so I could put the current board I'm working with into that case, to test the case. But, I've never run across a bad case in the past.
I've attached the latest part of the logs with the current errors.
Switching cases would also switch out the board that controls the redundant power supplies, so it may be worth a try, though I am having trouble figuring how all the errors could come from that.
Unfortunately, the performance charts don't include drive temps or fan speed. But do the CPU or system temp give any indication that the temperature really might be out of control?
What setting is in the BIOS for the fans? I believe it needs to be set to max for the ReadyNASOS control to work (though you'll still get the permission errors -- I never did track down the cause of those).
It may be helpful to create a task that puts the fan speeds and temperatures into a file for review/plotting and see if it really looks like these are real or false alarms.
