Ultra 6 Plus Teaming Question
Hi All, my first post, but here goes I have two Ultra 6 Plus devices, one we have had for about 1 month, with 4 2 TB disks, this is setup with Teaming / Failover (Adaptave Load Balancing), Im sure ...
There are two firmware bugs that are showing up here, both of which I also experience on my Ultra 6 Plus.
First, I have only one ethernet cable connected, which happens to be in ethernet port 2. The first LAN port has nothing connected.
Bug 1: My ultra 6 plus thinks its a business pro. Hence, business features are enabled in front view. Since the business features are not supposed to be included with a Ultra 6 Plus, they could presumably go away at any time, with a firmware update. I do not use them.
Bug 2: There is a known bug, described elsewhere in this forum, such that the teaming option does not show up if English is selected as the browser language. I use Firefox 5 on a Mac. If I select US English as the browser's language (which I do), there is no teaming option. HOwever, if I set French as the browser's language (in Firefox preferences) and restart the browser and relogin to Frontview, then not only does Frontview display in French, but the teaming option shows up as well, in the settings for my single connected ethernet port.
As an off topic aside, If I were buying my unit again, I would purchase a Pro rather than an Ultra Plus, to officially get the business features, and the longer warranty. However, diskless Pro's were not being sold when I purchased my system last December. I have a minor gripe with netgear over this bit of marketing, but in any case users now have the option of purchasing a diskless pro.
