Ready DR Job Failure
I have a ReadyNAS 526X that has Several ReadyDR jobs that are sent to a ReadyNAS 314. Both units are running OS 6.6 The ReadyDR has been working perfectly for weeks and starting 2 days ago I starte...

Thanks for your quick response. After doing some additional trouble shooting, I didcovered that as the result of an apparent router firmware update, the IP address on the RN314 (which received the ReadyDR jobs), did in fact, change two days ago. Since the ReadyDR destination is IP specific, that caused the jobs to fail.
Unfortunately, there does not appear to be a way to modify the destnation address so I had to delete the existing jobs and recreate all of them, using the new IP address. That appears to have corrected the issue as the jobs all ran correctly.

Hi dschwartzer,
Do you have other ReadyDR jobs that are working?
Can you try to create a test ReadyDR job? I am going to check further on the error that you are getting.

You should probably reserve the ReadyNAS IP addresses in your router to prevent them from changing again.

Thanks for your note. I agree that would make sense. I actually tried to do that last night but ran into a problem.
I am using a Mac and have an Aiport Extreme Base Station as my router. For that router, the way to reserve an IP address is to go into the Airport Utility and "edit" the router settings. Under the Network tab there is a section to enter the MAC address of the device and assign the IP address you want it to have.
In my case, the current IP address of the RN314 was 10.0.1.11 and I wanted to reserve 10.0.1.12 since that was the original IP address for the server and the one being used by ReadyDR. I enetered the MAC address for the 314, which I copied from the Admin screen, entered it into the Airport Utility and assigned the 10.0.1.12 address to it.
I then powered off the RN314 and restarted it so it would pick up the new IP address. That is where I ran into a problem.
The RN314 froze on the "Booting" screen and refused to boot up. I tried to power cycle it several times but never got it to boot. I eventually had to delete the address reservation from the Airport Utility and once I did and power cycled the 314 it passed the Booting screen and started up again.
Any thoughts on what I did wrong? Do I have to use the current IP addres as the assignment? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

David
