reconstructing a ReadyNAS 212 when I don't know which drive went in which bay
Hi All,
Bit of a unique situation, and complex - will make it as clear as possible.
During a recent project I had two RN212 NAS systems, believed to be set to RAID 1, set to collect a ...
Do you have a set of System_log's you may have downloaded for each NAS prior to sending the disks away?
If you do boot_info.log will show the NAS serial number (also shown on the rear label of the NAS) and disk_info.log will show the serial number(s) of which disk was in which slot of the NAS (0 being slot 1 left to right).
The drive serial number is of course on each drive label.
(as a p.s. I am not sure it is crucial that each pair of disks go into the correct NAS nor even in "correct" slot, but don't take that as gospel, perhaps someone else may chime in, perhaps StephenB)
Thanks bedlam1! That would be awesome if that was the case, and I have asked. As I am just catching up with these systems, and not the one who set the system up, would the system_logs been saved via the ReadyNAS software on the PC managing the NAS systems? Thanks, R
Not unless somone physically downloaded them :smileysad::smileysad:
