ReadyNAS Pro 6: will not start to boot menu #24685352
I use a ReadyNAS Pro 6 (RNDP6630D-200) here at the office to store, view and edit hundreds of hours of standard definition video. The unit was purchased in July 2012 and has worked without issue for o...
Yes, I have RAIDar running on the primary Mac. Following Ixa's last instruction, I pulled all the disks, which enabled the NAS to at least boot up enough to present the "No disks detected" error message on the NAS display and to allow RAIDar to see the unit.
RAIDar 4.3.8 displays the following info:
MAC Address: 00:1f:33:eb:01:d7
Model: --
Host Name: nas-EB-01-D7
IP Address: 192.168.168.168
Volume Status: [BLANK}
Disk Status: [6 gray bubbles, since the drives are removed]
UPS Status: [BLANK, as usual]
Fan Status: Fan 1 - 1962rpm, Fan 2 - 1520rpm
Temperature Status: Temp 1 - 36.0C/122.4F, Temp 2 - 22.0C/97.2F
Firmware Revision/Status: No disks detected
For the buttons at the bottom of the window, Setup is inactive, Rescan works as normal, Locate makes the NAS display blink, Format is inactive. The buttons for About, Help and Exit all behave like you'd expect.
Additionally: With the drives removed, I'm able to access the Boot Menu. I just ran a memory test, and everything passed without error.
I'm out for the rest of the day, but will check back first thing in the morning. Thanks again for all the suggestions, information and feedback. This ReadyNAS has been a huge help for our office, but troubleshooting it is NOT for the faint of heart!
