ReadyNAS Ultra 6 OS 4.2.31 corrupted VPD

I upgraded 3 of my ReadyNAS Ultra 6 to OS 6, and although had issues, it is running smooth (touch wood).

 

However, I left 1 of my Ultra 6 as stock on os 4.2.31. The VPD has now been corrupted after failed restart that corrupted root. FrontView and RAIDar are empty when rebuilding the NAS.

 

I am looking for a stock v4.2.31 VPD from an Ultra 6. Willing to divert some funds to procure a valid file.

 

Contact me if you have a file or can help.

 

Not really looking at buying an old Ulyta 6 to scrape it's VPD, but willing to do this if this is the only option.

 

Message me please if you have a solution.

 

Thanks

  • The is no "stock" vpd.  It includes the unit serial number, so is unique to each unit.  But since you have others, just copy it from one of them.  It'll report a duplicate serial number, but that doesn't matter now that there is no ReadyCloud or Netgear support.

      And is digitally signed by Netgear, so cannot be modified.
