RND2110 v2 will not start up
Last week I stopped being able to access my ReadyNASRND2110v2 NAS on my network and the unit was powered down. I tried starting and the hard disk would spool up and stay spinning and I still had no ...
Thanks for your advice - it gives me a lot to think about.

Is it a Duo v1 or a v2 ?

Be careful with the label on the NAS, it's misleading.
Does RAIDar see it?
The label says: "ReadyNAS Duo RND2110 v2 Model RND2110-100NAS 1X1000SG XRAID". I don't use RAIDar as I only have 1 disk installed in it and saw no sense in installing the ap since the browser interface had all the functionality I needed.
When I enter the network address Windows says it is unavailable at this time. Again, the disk is spooling and doesn't settle down into its normal quiet spun-down standbuy mode.

As the article says, that means you have a v1 (sparc-based unit). The -100NAS is the tell, a v2 would have a -200NAS. The v2 in the label doesn't mean what you think it does.

RAIDar gives status information, and the NAS sometimes responds to it even when the web interface is down. So please install it, and tell us what it says.
Nada - now I have a useless piece of software on my computer that does nothing.
I tried taking out the hard disks and starting up the unit - same spinning sound, so evidently what I thought was the hard disks spooling up is something else inside the NAS. Still doesn't settle down into normal standby mode except that when I pressed the power button and held it to shut it down, it did shut down - I didn't have to unplug it like I do when the hard disks are in it.
