I've a M2000 stora and do not know the current firmware level 😞
I had a power gitch and now it refuses to boot up - I just get the constant flashing blue light thing and does not boot - I cannot see it on the network and cannot access it.
I've tried the hard reset which it doesn't respond to - just keeps flashing blue with no orange or green lights at all.
I've tried to reflash as per instructions within this community forum however i think I may not have the supported firmware installed for this 😞
Is there anything I can do with this thing to kick it in to life?
yes those are the steps I've followed. It doesn't matter how many times I try with disks in or out but I cannot trigger the update - i.e. I cannot get the stora in to a position where the blue light goes out and the HDD1LED goes orange 😞
It is possible that the power glitch may have corrupted the firmware of the Stora. I recommend connecting the hard drives to a computer that runs Linux in order for you to retrieve and backup the data that you have stored. You may also check the link below as an alternative.
thanks for that. once I've copied the data I want from a drive that was in the stora via linux/mount of xfs file system, is there any way of re-flashing the stora so it's usable again?
It is quite difficult to tell if it is possible or not since you have already followed the guide and the device does not seem to go to the state where it would allow you to re-flash.
