ReadyNAS 2100 FrontView blank page - Firmware 4.2.31
Hi, Not sure If I am in the right place but here goes as I need some help. I have three readyNAS 2100's. I have had no issue installing OS6 on the first two. This third one did not like it an...
Unless you blanked out the model number in the RAIDar screen, I suspect your problem is a corrupted VPD (vendor product data) file. Only Netgear can repair that. The mods (@Marc_V and @JeraldM ) sometimes repair the VPDs remotely, so that is perhaps an option. Once you get back up and running, I suggest you check out this post: Backup-and-restore-of-VPD-file-for-legacy-ReadyNAS-running-OS6.
Thanks Sandshark,
Looks like it is done for then. Thanks for taking time to reply. I'll start looking for a replacement chassis and keep this one for spares. I'll check the post out you provided.
Cheers

No, it's not done. Wait for one of the mods to reply and assist you with repairing your VPD file.
OK, thanks Sandshark. Will see if they can help with it. Glad it might be recoverable, otherwise would have been 170 quid down the drain. I took a look at the post you added in your last message. I have Putty so will attempt telnet connections to my existing two ReadyNAS racks and back that file up.
Cheers for your help with this, much appreciated.

You can copy the VPD from one NAS to another of the same model number just to prove that's the problem. You'll end up with two units that have the same serial number, but the only thing I believe that causes an issue with is ReadyCloud.
