ReadyNAS NV+ failed disk replaced
Hello, I have the ReadyNas NV+. It came with four 750Gig drives. I saw a message on the front of the unit that one of my drives was experiencing errors, so I removed drive #1, the unit no longe...
Just to clarify: This is an NV+ V2 (external power supply) or NV+ V1 (internal power supply)? Is there any network activioty indicated by the NIC LEDs?
You should have replaced the drive with the power on, BTW.
Re-answering because the forum must have been reset to an earlier time.
That is an indication of corrupt boot flash. Hopefully, a USB boot recovery will fix it right up. See ReadyNAS LED Lanhuage for more LED codes. While a USB recovery shouldn't harm your data volume, you can put in a spare drive in place of your array if you want extra protection. If you do that, though, make sure you are restoring the same version as is on the drives.
Hi Sandshark,
This is an NV+ V1. LED screen on front of unit is dark. I wish I would have replaced the faulty drive with the power on. I have an extra blank 1TB drive. In my array I had 4 750GB drives, but I replaced the faulty one with a 1TB drive from the approved list. How do I do a USB boot recovery?
Thanks,
Rob
