ReadyNas RND4000 NV+ V2 stuck booting
I have a ReadyNas RND4000-200NAS NV+ V2 which has 4 disks (2x3TB Seagate NAS Drive, 2x750GB Seagate drives) and was configured using XRaid I believe. The NAS was running the most recent version of Ra...
So when you try booting into tech support mode it still gets stuck on booting? Is this both with disks and without disks installed?
RAIDiator-arm 5.3 has its own USB Boot Recovery files. It won't boot off USB using USB Boot Recovery files for other systems.
I just tried again without disks, and the act light no longer blinks. The disk lights are not displaying either, and the LCD shows "Booting..." I'm leaving it for now to see if it does anything over the course of the next 20 or so minutes. Apologies for the late reply, I was at work and didn't have an opportunity to log in.
The NV+ v2 came with a 3 year limited hardware warranty which presumably has expired.
If the chassis has failed you've got a few options:1. Get a new OS6 unit (e.g. RN214, RN424) and follow these instructions: ReadyNAS: Migrating disks from RAIDiator 4.1 or RAIDiator 5.3 to ReadyNAS OS 6 (you would need somewhere to backup your data to and there would be additional costs involved)
2. Attempt to recovery the data using an ordinary x86 Linux machine (at your own risk). You'd need to use mdadm and lvm2 (if they're not already installed you could install them). It's advisable to check the health of the disks and the state of the RAID array before trying to start the RAID or mount anything
3. Attempt (at own risk) to recover the data using 3rd party software (probably not free) for Windows
4. Find a second hand unit. Must also be a v2 (charcoal chassis, external PSU, runs RAIDiator-arm 5.3.x). There's no warranty or support for second hand units.
