Readynas NV+ V2 Device is offline # 17773704

SeaTools can be used to verify if you have a bad disk.

Yes, it is very likely that these disks are incompatible with the v2.

NV+ V2 will be deliverd back to the supplyer. And i will recive a Netgear ReadyNAS Ultra 4 today to replace it.
According to Netgears disc list that one will accept my discs and it allows me to run LMS (Logitech media server).
Anyone how know if i can swap the discs ower to the new nas and all will work or do i have to do it the hard way?

Sincerely
Olof

I would suggest backing up your data and doing a factory reset.

Ok. By that you say that i put my old discs in the new nas and do a factory reset?
Then it will clear the discs and update firmware etc. Seams like a good idea.

Thanx.

The factory reset will wipe everything on the disks including data. It will not update the firmware.

So do backup your data first.

Best to put a spare disk in the x86 NAS, update to latest firmware e.g. via System > Update > Remote, then power down, remove spare disk from x86 NAS, then move your disks across and do a factory default.

Hi.

I've spent the afternoon to debug this new ReadyNas Duo v2 that I've sold to my customer to replace a Qnap TurboNas TS-219PII with a hardware problem.
First, I've ran into most read issues I've been done to read around but finally I've got everything to work. So I've found nice to register in this forum to post the solution to this common unsolved issue.

Issue details :
You got the message "Device is Offline, please wait".

Not Good :
You can try to reinstall the OS with the boot menu but you will loose time and get the same error.
You can format the disk and start over but it's not the good solution.

Good :
Launch putty.exe (if you are under windows, if not, use xterm or whatever) to connect the nas using ssh.
Putty client can be download from chiark web page.

username : root
password : password (by default, or your web admin password)

Once logged in, type :

NAS-console# cd /tmp
NAS-console# rm -rf *
NAS-console# rm -rf .*

Refresh your webpage admin with F5 (if you are under windows).

Issue over : you can see the interface with current parameters and pictures.

Hope you didn't find out before.

I'm in the process of swapping an NV+ v2 for a QNAP 219P II. You will find out soon why.
