Ultra 6 Plus stuck on readynas Boot Logo
So i upgraded to OS6 4 days ago without any Problems.. did maybe 3-5 restarts afterwards. Today the Nas wouldnt boot anymore.. Shows Readynas on LCD and is stuck;( Raidar cannot find it ...
yes, the usb recovery i tried already with multiple sticks.. so i need a disk inserted for usb recovery to work?
yeah i alerady looked for a replacement ultra6plus-without luck..as i replaced psu and ram i dont think i can to much moreon the harware side..
recovery will be a bit drastic...so i had 6 2tb drives in there and had some issues more than 10y ago, and never got time and motivation to touch all that again...
when putting in the old disks 2 weeks ago after fan replacement the nas worked, but showed no volume in lcd- my guess is bc i didnt label the hdds 10y ago and had wrong slots
so anyway i put the 6hdds aside and started with 2 other 2tb i still had-did the os6 update..ran plex and put some data on it and it worked beautifully-until unit stopped working..
so my fault not to make a backup 10y ago-and no chance to do a backup of the other 2 drives which ran in os6:((
lessons learned!
anyway right now my only concern is the recovery, as i cant imagine im gonna be able to fix the hardware.
need to recover 6xtb raid5 os4.??? and 2x2tb raid1 os6 latest fw
i guess i need the linux version of reclaime? which can recover linux volumes..

You'd need ReclaiMe Ultimate (which runs on Windows, but can recover RAID ext and btrfs volumes).
Also, you'll need a way to connect the disks to the PC (either SATA or USB adapter/docks), and enough storage to hold the recovered files.
You don't need an exact replacement of the Ultra6Plus. The Pro6 is the same hardware. The older Pro BE or Pro Pioneer is the same except a slower processor (that can be upgraded). But since you already upgraded to OS6, you can also move the volume to a native OS6 unit (316, 426, 516, 626, or 716, or a rack-mount unit).
But since it appears all ReadyNAS are discontinued, this may be when you want to move to another brand.
yeah i do have enough sata, as i already connected all 6 drives to see whats what..
also have a fresh 18tb hdd
will look into it today

Windows doesn't support mdadm software raid, or btrfs. So you'll probably need to purchase RAID recovery software (for instance ReclaiMe Ultimate).
There are beta-level packages of both mdadm and btrfs for windows on github you could also try. No idea how stable they are (or if they work at all).
yeah i tried around some...
reclaime seems to give me the best results...and is only one with folder structure
since im not into linux yet and dont wanna fiddle too much, reclaime seems reasonable expense.
can imagine ill need it again in the future:/
but thinking about this whole matter....it seems really starnge that the machine ran flawlessly for several days, also rebootet and all..
and from 1 moment to the other it wont work anymore...baffles me, since i cant find any origin of this problem..
meh:)
also another idea:
maybe possible to mount radiator firmware in some sort of VM??
and recover the data from there?
If your Linux skills are up to the task, you can try to mount the volume in a Debian VM (which has MDADM and BTRFS installed). The ReadyNASOS VM will not allow the use of that many drives, so it's not an option.
