ReadyNas 422 "System Start up " freeze ? The staitc IP address was changed to a dynamic one ???
We have setup ReadyNas 422 last September, it works fine until recently. we setup automatic start up in the morning and shutdown at night with an email nortification. On 4/1/19, the Readynas shutdo...
The DHCP address might simply be because the system hasn't fully booted (so the network IP configuration hasn't been applied).
I think you'll need to look at the NAS on site to make more progress.

Thank you for your comment. I was onsite, and found that Readynas 422 showed "booting" (I think remained this for more than 1 day), I scarily forced to turned off as I had no option. Then the Readynas just started normally as if there was no problem!
I think you are right, the Readynas failed network initialisation with some reason, then booting the OS from the hard disk. I have checked the log but no information there, and no hard disk error, no rebuilding mirror image etc. As you said, the Readynas even did not start any hard disk at all. I am wondering what would cause this ? The office was Saturday nobody there..
It was scarily experience, but at least I learnt the booting order etc. (Network initialisation then physical hard disk booting ...) Thanks for your assistance.

Generally speaking I haven't seen this during normal reboots. But I have sometimes seen similar behavior when I do the reboot after a firmware update.
So I do recommend having someone on site whenever you update the firmware.
Thanks, and sorry not to reply. The same incident happened again, well this is nothing to do with firmware update. I have setup automatic shutdown at eve night and booting at every morning. I needed to ask the user to turn off and start the Readynas. Then working fine. Again, the Readynas attemped to use a DHCP address, instead of its own static IP. (This was very scary to me)
Do you think anything associate with a network traffic? Network interface, Swiching hub or even network cable? I just disable Readynas secondary network interface and primly v6 network configuration. I am not sure this would help, but in theory, the Readynas will not try to pick up any ip from the DHCP server.
I have managed some Readynases, but I have the problem with only this Readynas.
