RND2000 Frontview Not Working After Removal of Failing Disk
Model: RND2000 Firmware: 4.1.16 RAIDar: v6.5.0 Scenario I have had the above RND for many years without significant difficulties. It is configured with 2 2TB disks, mirrored by XRAID. The roo...
I'm delighted to report that I'm back up and running! đ
On consideration of my previous post it struck me there were file(s) missing from the OS and RAIDiator software. This was seemed to apply to some of the Apache system too. I was hesitant to do a full factory reset (for which I had managed to answer most/all of the questions I was considering), and decided to go for a software reinstall. There was the chance that some of the config was missing/corrupt (along with some of my files!), but if that became apparant and I had to go for the full reset then that would have to be done. So here are the steps undertaken.
1. Backup the data over my network to a USB HDD on my PC.
2. Perform software re-install.
After this the system recovered. Frontview and the USB HDD were working again, along with the log emails.
3. Conduct a full check of config on Frontview - all seemed to be correct.
4. Backup up data to the directly connected USB drive.
5. Insert new HDD to replace previously faulty one.
This has been detected and automatically synced with the running disk.
How the system got into this mess I shall probably never know, but at least I know how to get out of it should it happen again, and if this thread is help to anybody else who gets into similar trouble I'm happy!
Thanks to StephenB for his helpful pointers.

No need, as 192.168.x.x is reserved for private networks, and these addresses cannot be used to access your NAS over the internet.

At this point I attempted to connect to Frontview from RAIDar and got the following message in the browser window:
Unable to connect
Can you give more details on the error? In particular, are you seeing the SSL protocol/cipher mismatch error???

I can successfully login to root from Putty, which seems to indicate that the USB disk is not mounting. Copy of df -v and ps -eaf in attached file.
How is the USB drive formatted?
Have you tried to mount it manually?

The directories and files on the RND can be correctly accessed from the PCs on the network.
The simplest option is to connect the USB drive to one of the PCs, and copy the files over the network. Maybe use something like FreeFileSync instead of drag-and-drop.
