Issue on power loss / failure - automatically rebooting after manual shutdown
There's an issue on ReadyNas RN202 , firmware 6.9.3 On power loss / failure the NAS is automatically rebooting after manual shutdown. how this issue happens: 1. WakeOnLAN enabled 2. Readynas connected via ethernet port 1 3. power failure from electricity loss or shutdown while the NAS is operating 4. electricity coming back and NAS restarting automatically 5. shuting down the NAS via web interface or double click on power button manually 6. the NAS is rebooting automatically everytime i try to shut it down what i checked: 1. preventing outdside connections coming from the port 9 Wake On LAN: 1.a - searching in the log files any connections of this type 1.b - by disconnecting the ethernet cable after shut down even in these cases, the NAS continues to automatically rebooting after manual shutdown. 2. disabling the WakeOnLAN option if disabled the NAS doesn't reboot automatically. I found the solution but, at this point, I would like to report a technical problem. I do not think the rebooting depends on the Wake on LAN as I have disabled all ports and continues to persist. I also checked log files and there is no access to port 9. Reading some comments I recorded that others have the same problem. They talked about the problem of power failure and somehow the power supply and the NAS were in PowerLoss mode like that of motherboards that restart automatically after such an event. So I tried as the follow: 1. Keep the WakeOnLAN option active 2. Turn off the NAS via the web interface/power on double pressed manually 3. As soon as the NAS turns off, I disconnected the POWER SUPPLY FROM THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET 4. I waited for the classic 20sec to neutralize the residual energy in the circuits. 5. I reconnected the power supply plug to the electrical outlet 6. Leds blinked and after few seconds they turned off and the NAS has not restarted. 7. I turned on the NAS by the power button on the front panel. 8. I opened the web interface and checked if everything was as before (WakeOnLAN still active) 9. I turned off the NAS again from the web interface 10. This time the NAS did not restart itself automatically! problem solved but remains a flaw that I would like to report.960Views0likes2CommentsRN31600 power failure
I have a readynas 316 with four numbers of 2 TB HDD. From today morning, it is not powering On. Since its under warranty, I dialed the customer care, spoke with them, and they told they will replace the Chassis, and creasted the RMA. Since the HDDs are working fine, is it ok by swapping the the existing HHDs to the new one, or do I have to give for any Data recovery before migrating the HDDs to the new one. Please advice.???

I have a ReadyNas 104, OS: 6.4.2. We had a power outage earlier today and I had forgotten about my ReadyNAS until I could not access it. I rebooted it and it was fine for a few hours then shut down for no apparent reason. It was restarted and then after about 10 minutes it shut down again. I restarted it and after less than 5 minutes again it shut down. I rebooted again and checked for firmware and saw there was an update so installed that. I had hoped that the firmware upgrade would have sorted any issues but it has not made any difference. The unit still shuts down after between 5 and 10 minutes. The logs do not indicate anything to be the cause. The unit is in my lounge on top of a tower PC next to my TV stand. It has been there for over a year without any problems. I am now concerned that the power outage may have caused damage to the unit. Could over heating cause it to shut down? I only ask as I have seen the CPU temp running at 75 degrees. Any ideas or suggestions please? Thanks, Wayne4.4KViews0likes6Comments
