RN104 failed disk - how to activate replacement disk

If it is doing a resync it will tell you on the volume tab.
Do you have a backup?
It does not sound like it is doing a resync.
If it isn't I would:
1.Upgrade your firmware to 6.2.5
2. If after this update the disk is still inactive, then hot remove it, wait about 10-15 seconds then hot insert it.
Sounds like a few months ago you ran into an issue addressed by a stability enhancement in 6.2.5.

Hi there mdgm!
Oh no - tonight my RN104 went offline for the first time in months - two or three days after the upgrade to 6.2.5. Unbelievable! The symptoms are very similar - no GUI access, but - for a short while - I could ping it, and now I can't ping it. As you may recall, this device is in a remote location so I'm going to have to have someone pull the plug on it to restart. I guess I'll have to see if this is a one-off coincidence or not. Darn!
I have had someone on site do a hard reset - pull the plug - TWICE and now I can't even ping the device.
The device seems to get stuck in the 'booting' phase. This shows on the screen after 20, 30 minutes.Any thoughts about next steps?
