Who is this Colonel Panic that is being summoned by my NV+ ?
My NV+ has 4x ST3750640NS I had a report that drive 4 had failed. i put in a 1TB Seagate ST3100340AS that had been previously used in another NV+ On insertion a the disk clacked 10 times, sounding like head load or reset. But the NV+ failed to rebuild.
So I pulled the drive and installed a 2TB Hitachi HUA7222020 that's on the compatibility list And the disk add is rejected.
If I power off and on without a disk in drive 4, the Health screen shows Disk 4 Unknown 698GB But When I add the 2TB that doesn't change.
If I power on with any disk in drive 4 - I get Kernel Panic.
Is there a reset I can do, to stop the rebuild it thinks it's doing? Then start the rebuild from scratch?
Do you have a backup? If not, make one now. What firmware is running on the NV+?
Have you tested the disks you are attempting to insert with vendor tools?
Also I would attach the drive you plan to insert, to a PC, and delete any partitions that may be on it. This is probably the reason the 1 tb drive was not added, although the noises you described are a bit of a concern.
Once you have tested one of the drives and deleted any partitions on it, power on the nas, then insert the drive.
This is NAS3, which is the backup to NAS2, which is the backup to NAS1. NV+ is running RAIDiator 4.1.10 Can I install 4.1.14 while it's in this state ?
I wouldn't update the firmware until you have sorted out the volume. Did you test the disks and delete any partitions before trying to hot add a disk into slot 4 again.
Of course you have one other alternative if you have no success with this, and that is to put all the disks in that you want and factory default the unit.
