ReadyNAS 2100 won't boot.
I just purchased a 2100, I was trying to convert it to FlexRaid and was having no luck. I upgraded to v 4.2.19 and could not get it to convert to flexraid so I upgraded to v4.2.20 (T42). After upgra...
I was able to get my 2100 fixed.
I found that the 2100, and 1500 both default to the IP 192.168.168.168 if they cannot pull a DHCP address. For whatever reason when I was doing factory default the devices were going to the 192.168.168.168 address. In my enviornment that created an IP conflict (Sonicwall default IP is 192.168.168.168).
The IP conflict cause the raidar setup program to not work correctly. I clicked factory default from the web GUI, once it rebooted I clicked setup within in raidar and chose the raid configuration options I wanted (flexraid instead of xraid). It seems my setup options were not getting submitted to the readyNAS because of the IP conflict so it just kept rebuilding to the default Xraid configuration.
To get around this problem I plugged the readynas into a different subnet (172.16.0.x) and it worked exactly as intended when following the convert from XRaid to Flexraid, no I can just swap the cables around and put it back where I want it.
