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...
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.
Hi,
I tried this, following the instructions in the guide, and could not get Putty to telnet to the box. RAIDar said it was connected in technical support mode and that the IP address had changed to 192.168.168.168 from the two it usually had. I tried connecting via Putty using all 3 IP addresses, and it timed out each time. I had my VPN off at the time so it wasn't that. It's looking like this one cannot be recovered, so my only option is to use it as storage (think it is in JBOD mode at the moment). Trouble is it is setup as DLNA by previous owner and has the media directories. I can use this directory but obviously would prefer to add my own share with credentials ,and change the admin password for the box. If you can offer any further advice to get FrontView working again it would be greatly appreciate. Many thanks.
