ReadyNAS Duo RND2000 v2

Question

Hi there,After an power outage i couldn´t access my ReadyNAS anymore.After a ot of googling and following different advice from the community and different forums on the web, i´m desperate and try to find help here.&nbsp;Situation: ReadyNAS connected to FritzBox!7530 Router via LAN Cable.IP: 192.168.10.12 via DHCP but with "always give device the same IP setting".&nbsp;RN is not showing up in the Network anymore. FB doesnt show it in the Network Device list.&nbsp;What i did already: Restart everything, keep RN off for days in the hopes of getting a new IP via DHCP (and because i had no time to deal with it), Take out the RAM as suggested in a post, trying to Hardreset it (press reset button while starting up till the HD LEDs flash once).&nbsp;Situation nowNotebook -&gt; WIFI&nbsp; 192.168.10.xx -&gt; Raidar shows device as in the screenshot (192.168.168.168) -&gt; After 100% is reached, it vanishes and is not to be found anymore.After 100% is reached: Notebook -&gt; LAN Cable directly to RN -&gt; Network Settings 192.168.168.167/255.255.255.0 -&gt; RN is not to be found. no Ping, no admin page, nothing. Raidar doesn´t find it.&nbsp;Any more suggestions to try? Kick it to the curb and buy a Synology or Qnap?Please help. :)

RAIDar is saying you have the original Duo (Spark CPU), not the later v2.&nbsp; Though the labeling can be very misleading.&nbsp; A v2 in the part number just means a small hardware revision (not the second generation platform, which is very different from the original, and runs completely different firmware).
&nbsp;
It looks like it is doing a file system check when it is operational - not sure if that is failing later on, or not.
&nbsp;
Try

powering down
remove the two disks (label by slot)
power up

See it if remains up with the correct IP address, and showing a no disks status in RAIDar
&nbsp;
What RAID mode are you using?

Thank you for your answer.Yes it stays visible with the 192.168.168.168 IP.the status is something “Discs missing”. (Direct translation “no harddrives recognized”).Via direct LAN connection, it’s still not possible to open admin page.Edit: ping 192.168.168.168 works.Edit2: RAID mode as far as I remember is RAID0Any further ideas?

You could try booting up while skipping the volume check - see pages 15-16 here:&nbsp;https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RND2110/Duov1_NV+v1_HW_en_06Dec11.pdf
&nbsp;
You could also connect the disks to a Windows PC and test them with vendor tools (Seatools for Seagate, Dashboard for Western Digital).
&nbsp;
Though RAID0 is very fragile - it is possible that the power failure resulted in lost writes that gave you a volume that is out of sync.&nbsp; Do you have the data backed up?&nbsp; If you do (or don't mind losing it), you could also do a factory default, and set the NAS up from scratch.

Thanks so far, really appreciate your help.Skipping the test did nothing.Without HDs: “Harddrives missing”, still 192.168.168.168, admin panel not opening,HDs back in, reset: “Drive creation” (direct translation of “laufwerkserstellung”, after a while „Booting up“ (direct translation of „hochfahren“. After a while the Activities LED and drive 2 is still blinking and drive 1 is green all the time.According to the manual it could be a problem, not a problem or a serious problem. 🤦🏻‍♂️I hope for indexing but think it’s just broken.Edit: can you tell me from which point in the boot up process the device SHOULD be visible in raider? And from when on should be the admin panel accessible? Directly after hard resetting, how long should it take to be able to access the admin/setup page?It doesn’t show up in RAIDar anymore neither over router nor direct LAN.Since I’m leaving for the weekend, I will just wait if the blinking stops till Monday at some point and if so, if it’s showing up in RAIDar. If not it’s going to fly out of the window and I will look for something new. Not worth all the time and Energy I already put to it…

Yeah, I do get that.&nbsp; It's a model that they stopped building 10 years ago, can't handle large disks, and by current standards is very slow.
&nbsp;
I'll use mine as long as it lasts, but won't invest a lot in it.

There can be a lag, but it's been a while since I've needed to do a reset, and I don't recall how long.&nbsp; There is a disk test, which will take a few minutes, followed by also the flexraid/xraid decision window, which is 10 minutes.&nbsp; After that I think it sometimes is incommunicado during formatting and RAID sync.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
One easy step is to try the reset with only one disk in place (which goes faster because there is no RAID sync).&nbsp; If that doesn't work, try one last time with the other disk.
