ReadyNAS Ultra 6 - stuck at "ReadyNAS" boot
Hi all ...
I recently upgraded my ReadyNAS Ultra 6 from OS4 to OS6.
Everything went well, until I set the automatic shutdown option to close down my NAS
Coming up, it is stuck on the "READYNAS" message on the display
I have tried to recreate a USB stick to force a FW reload but this is not helping me as I cannot determine if the USB is being read or not (the backup light stays off).
I would welcome options as to next steps or suggestions?
Thank you

Is RAIDar able to detect your NAS? https://kb.netgear.com/20684/ReadyNAS-Downloads
If you remove the disks and power up, do you see a "no disks" status?

I'm a little confused here. Are you saying that the conversion completed ok, but the problem happened after that? Or something else?
Also, did you follow the steps here? https://community.netgear.com/t5/ReadyNAS-Storage-Apps-Old-Legacy/Need-Transmission-for-ReadyNAS-ULTRA-4-x86/m-p/2223509 I'm wondering because there is no "automatic shutdown" in the procedure.
- Thanks for the reply
I took out the disks but no change. It does not even get to the stage to check the disks.
I mean the convert from OS4 to OS6 was successful. I followed the instructions without issue. I used the NAS. I implied that I configured the automated shutdown in the Power setting to close down the NAS at a predetermined time. It shut down but came up in this ReadyNAS waiting state.
Much obliged

This situation usually means that the power supply in the NAS has failed. It can be replaced - Sandshark has often provided some help for folks looking for a compatible supply.
It would be useful if you can confirm that you have an Ultra 6 (and not an Ultra 6 Plus).
