UPS Monitoring not working config restore
I just replaced the disks in my ReadyNAS NV (Infrant original) to expand using 2 TB disks. I backed up and did a factory reset.
Everything went find with installing new disks and creating the volume. After it finished syncing I restored the EVERYTHING config backup, and that seemed to go fine. Then I noticed a problem on a PC running WinNUT that monitors the ReadyNAS NV. Since the config restored correctly, I assumed the UPS monitoring would pick up automatically, but the WinNUT client kept saying the UPS on the ReadyNAS's IP address was unavailable. I checked FrontView | System | Power and the UPS Monitoring section was restored correctly, with "Enable network monitoring of attached UPS" checked, and the "Hosts allowed access:" set to my LAN.
In the end I had to uncheck "Enable network monitoring of attached UPS," click Apply, then recheck it and click Apply again. The WinNUT client on the PC responded immediately and it is no longer popping up status messages every five minutes.
Just thought this was worth mentioning.

- Thanks for letting us know about this issue.
After restoring the configuration, did you reboot your NAS, by chance? I just want to pinpoint and reproduce exactly so we may fix it on future firmware releases. - Here are the steps I took:
1) let RAID sync finish
2) set laptop to proper subnet and logged into FrontView (192.168.168.168)
3) browsed laptop for config backup zip file and said Restore it
4) ReadyNAS prompted me to reboot, so I did
5) after reboot, logged in via restored IP address
I assume the reboot is required to apply the restored settings. I was still connected on the 192.168.168.0/24 network after doing the restore, but before rebooting.
Let me know if you need more info.
