4.2.13 ultra 6 not powering up automatically

[wireworld]

Just a note to record that only the auto power off works and even though the log shows a restart is scheduled it never actually restarts. Thanks

[wireworld]

Looks like WOL isn't working either

[wireworld]

Any solution to this in 4.2.14?

[chirpa]

There are multiple threads on this subject already.

Download system logs (FrontView>Status>Logs>Download All Logs). Open bios_ver.log, tell me what the contents say.

[wireworld]

It says:-
05/26/2010 FLAME6-2 V1.1
many thanks

[chirpa]

Thanks, that is the latest BIOS code.

Willing to try 4.2.14-T14 ?

[wireworld]

Absolutely!

I'll let you know tomorrow if it worked. Thanks

[wireworld]

Still not working using 4.2.14-T14
As before, the Ultra 6 shut off at 22.00 and noted a schduled power-on for 6.00am. It didn't start so I manually started it at 6.25am.

See extract from log below:-

Fri Oct 1 06:25:49 WEST 2010 System is up.
Thu Sep 30 22:00:26 WEST 2010 System power-on scheduled for 10/01/2010 06:00
Thu Sep 30 14:53:25 WEST 2010 System is up.
Thu Sep 30 14:53:17 WEST 2010 Your ReadyNAS device has been updated with a new firmware image. (RAIDiator-x86 4.2.14-T14)

[chirpa]

K thanks, will check more with developers in the morning.

[claykin]

Chirpa, is the BIOS updated (if needed) as part of the RAIDIATOR install package? I've never seen a separate Readynas BIOS update.

[wireworld]

Any news?

[wireworld]

Still not working in 4.2.15. Does this affect everyone or is my Ultra 6 faulty?

[Banatree]

My ultra 6 has the same issue, will power off but not come back on at the scheduled time. Also can't seem to get wake on LAN working either. Thought it was just my settings, might be an issue with Ultra's. .. Any advice would be appreciated.

Same problem here, timed powerup not working, WOL not working. 😞

Ultra 6, fully updated firmware.

[chirpa]

Ultra 6 users experiencing this issue:

Download your system logs (FrontView>Status>Logs>Download All Logs). Open bios_ver.log.
If the date in there is before 06/10/10, send me a PM (private message) with your full mailing address (no PO boxes) (and phone number if outside of domestic USA), and I will ship you a USB key which will flash to the BIOS to the latest version (06/10/10).

If you are familiar with Linux/OSX, I can give you a download-able image instead if preferred.
Writing the boot image via Windows is un-reliable, which is why I can ship you the pre-made keys instead (and you get a NETGEAR USB flash key to keep after the BIOS flash is done :))

[wireworld]

Just a note to say USB key arrived, bios flashed and now the timer appears to work correctly.

many thanks

Great! Does WOL now work as well for you?

[wireworld]

Doesn't seem to be working although I can't be absolutely sure that the protocol and port I'm using are correct.

[mdgm-ntgr]

I might need to give it a try sometime. I received the USB key yesterday. I've updated the BIOS on the NAS so I should be able to give it a try.

[Jedi_Knight]

let us know how it goes with WOL.

[mdgm-ntgr]

What WOL client do you recommend to run on a Mac, to send the wake-up command to the ReadyNAS?

[Jedi_Knight]

I used "WakeOnLan" by Dirk Lembens for MAC & Aquila Technology's WOL Windows Apps. They are simple to use and it works fine in both Windows and Mac Enviroment.

[mdgm-ntgr]

For WOL to work do you need to shutdown the ReadyNAS using the power timer? I couldn't get it to work just now even over a direct-connection when I shut it down manually.

[mdgm-ntgr]

WOL not working for me using power timer to shutdown first either. I'm using the Mac app Jedi Knight recommended.

[wireworld]

I've tried the recommended Windows program and WOL is not working.
