I have just purchased two ReadyNAS Ultra RNDU2000. Installation of disks seems fine according to raidar (running on Windows 7 Enterprise) and the last column shows 4.2.17 which I guess is the firmware level on the boxes. Once all the LEDs stop flashing I click on the "setup" button and end up with a blank Frontview panel in Firefox 6---I have accepted the self-signed certificate. AdBlock and NoScript are disabled (first for this address, then completely), no change. Same result if I connect to the devices by pasting the URL into IE8...
Can anyone provide any help/hints?
Sorry if this is a repeat of an earlier topic, but those I find that complain about a blank Frontview display were related to earlier browsers and the answers pointed fingers at ABD/NoScript and/or suggested using IE which is what I have tried---although I have IE8, not IE7...

Whoa. Nothing to do with this thread; I only have to say -- this seems like entirely too many NAS units for one person. Curious - is this personal, a business, or both? Given the capacities, it sure seems like the data could have been better handled by swapping drives.
You have 32.5 TB of data capacity and 12.5 TB of "redundant" space. Since some of these are "off-site" backups, it surely seems that you are not being as efficient (yet still off-site redundant) as you could easily be...

Actually, if my calculations are correct it's 42.5TB data capacity. :rofl:
It's broken up roughly 50/50 (data capacity) on-site and off-site. All the NASs are mine but some are used for business purposes.
My only defense for my NAS addiction is "Don't put all your eggs in one basket.". I have 4 copies of all files across my NASs and for the really important files I seed them to my CrashPlan cloud too. I have rsync choreographed between the NASs to keep them all in sync (over VPN for on-site --> off-site).
I probably could be more efficient but given the 2TB HDD ceiling in the Sparc ReadyNASs, I'm glad I did it this way. Now I have room to play with 😎 .
Not to mention, it looks good when I bring them all together (very rare)...
