ReadyNAS Ultra 4 Plus Stuck at "Booting..."
I had recently updated the firmware to the last available as I wanted to make sure I was up-to-date before I replaced a dead drive. The firmware update appeared to take and booted normally. A few day...
What happens if you enter http://192.168.1.10/admin in your browser address bar?
Also, what happens if you enter \\192.168.1.10 into Windows File Explorer?
It might be worth powering down again, removing disk 1, and seeing if the system boots normally.
I'd have hot-inserted disk 1 with the NAS running.
Are you able to access the shares with Windows Explorer?
For some reason I'm having trouble seeing my posts stick after posting. I've lost count of my number of attempts.
I downloaded RAIDar 6.3 and it apparently sees the NAS and reports the following.
Model: ReadyNAS Ultra 4 Plus
Name: (Shows the name I had given the device)
Status: Healthy
Firmware: 4.2.31
IP Address: 192.168.1.10 (Shows the device MAC address)
Drives: (Shows 4 drive icons with green checkmarks)
Clicking on "Admin Page" opens my browser to the admin page, but again, the browser just reports that the connection was refused.
Clicking on "Browse" makes my computer go busy for a second, but then just opens up my Documents folder instead of, I presume, the actual device share.
Clicking on "Locate" displays a message box that says "The LEDs of the selected NAS device are now blinking.", but no changes to the display or other lights are apparant.
In all cases, I haven't been able to access the windows shares. Could the OS-Reinstall I performed before have nixed those shares that had been created on the NAS?
