User rights gets deleted when Domain Server not running

Get the ReadyNas not to start automatically after a power failure (not sure if this is possible, but worth some thought)?

Why wouldn't you get a UPS from the HCL? You can share it between the NAS and the Server if they are close enough. If you are using a NAS in an enterprise environment you should put it on a UPS. Many such as myself have a NAS on a UPS even for home use.

Welcome to the forum!

I don't think that is possible without breaking the warranty.

What firmware version are you using, and using a UPS will not void your warranty.

Now I'm using RAIDiator 4.2.11-T6. I had to go for the beta to solve another issue. Had the same problem with the last official release.

I mean installing ReadyNAS SSH Access addon will void the warranty. ( Not the the warranty has shown to be worth anything so far )
So that I can manually add a delay in the startup.

What I need here is to have ReadyNAS server to send an admin mail when it cannot connect to the domain, and then try again in 5 minutes without deleting all security settings.

There's a newer version of the 4.2.11 beta now.

That is not true:

NetGear wrote:
EnableRootSSH – With the EnableRootSSH add-on, you can now remote login to the ReadyNAS RAIDiator shell as a root user. Initial password for root will be the same as the current FrontView admin password. Please keep in mind that NETGEAR may deny support if you’ve enabled root access.

Have a read of the link in that quote which refers to a post written by the General.

The warranty is good. NetGear wouldn't offer 5-years if they didn't reckon the product was good quality. It's built to last. The warranty is mainly there for peace of mind.

That could be possible I guess if you dig around, but if this hack causes problems you may be denied support for undoing your mistakes. If you have problems unrelated to what you did using SSH you shouldn't be denied support.

I guess that should be possible. However why not turn on the server before the NAS after a power failure? If you've shut the NAS down using a UPS it is monitoring, it will have to be manually restarted anyway.

I don't have a UPS. And I did not know that ReadyNAS required UPS to function properly.

I do not agree that the product is of good enough quality if it cannot handle not having access to the domain server for a short period without deleting all security settings.
Support did not want to help me with this issue.

The NAS shouldn't require it. But a UPS from the HCL.

Someone from NetGear could possibly reproduce the issue and if they can reproduce it arrange for a fix to be developed.

They aren't going to help you do unsupported SSH hacks, but if those SSH hacks don't cause other problems you have they should be able to help with those. Also if they don't have a fix for an issue, one would think they should refer the issue to people qualified to attempt to reproduce the issue. But why they probably didn't want to do anything was that you are using a beta release which doesn't have much in the way of support.

If you're not happy with support you can ask them to escalate the issue and if still unhappy you can post your case number e.g in this thread for your current problem, and a Jedi if he/she has time may be able to review your case notes and if necessary take appropriate action to help get your issue resolved.

I was not using the beta when i called Support. Support did not even admit that this maybe was a weakness in the product, suggesting to escalate this to development. Like you are doing now. They did not really wanted to do anything.

Ok.

Support realised they couldn't help you with this problem, so they suggested an appropriate cause of action. I guess you could call it a weakness of the product, but if properly worked around the issue shouldn't occur.

As just a ReadyNas user myself and not one who uses Domain Mode, I can't easily attempt to reproduce this issue. But hopefully the General or someone else from NetGear can.

Can a Jedi please use "The Force" here....
