RNDU2000 (RND-2A) Not Powering Up at all
Unhappy times in Newcastle after storm aftermath. Have a Netgear RNDU2000 NAS (RND-2A) with 2 x WCAWZ1544050 3.0TB WD SATA Drives (RAID 1) and have been using it as a home backup repo for several ...
#2: It has an Intel Atom CPU. Any legacy ReadyNAS that ran RAIDiator-x86 4.2.x with an Intel CPU should do i.e. Ultra/Ultra Plus/Pro Series.
The procedure to use a new model with Intel CPU (i.e. 300 series and up in desktop storage) such as the 312 is straightforward provided the disks, array and volume are fine:
1. Put scratch disk (must not be from your array) in the 312.
2. Update the 312 to latest firmware, verify the firmware update is successful, power down, remove the scratch disk.
3. Migrate the disks across (Keeping the order the same).
4. Power on the NAS normally
5. Some things may display incorrectly (OS4.2.x does not expect OS6 hardware) but you should be able to access your data (see RAIDar or the LCD on the front of the NAS for the I.P.) and copy your data off.
6. Verify your backup is good
7. Do a factory default (wipes all data, settings, everything)
8. Restore your data from backup
#3: We use mdadm, LVM and EXT4. The process is very standard.

# vgchange -a y
# mount -o ro /dev/c/c /mnt
