Ok, so i have two objectives.
A. Upgrade the 4x 250gb drives to 4x1tb. (done)
B. Document and test recovering from a failed raid array. I was under the impresion that linux is installed on the drives some how (i hope not) Since this will be our new onsite backup location i want to make sure recovery is quick in case of a failure.
Does anyone know if the firmware (linux?) is stored on flash, or the HDs?
So I have removed all 4 drives, and replaced them with 4 new larger drives.
I removed them all to acomplish objective B.
So after loading all the new drives the device fails to boot. It seems to be in EM mode. It also seems to have a DHCP address, and 192.168.11.150.
I setup a tftp server and it seems to try to connect to my server at 192.168.11.1. It aslo seems to be lookign for a image of some kind, i put the image in the root of the tftp server and it seems to try to load it, but does not seem to work out.
i also ran the firmware recovery tool with similor results.
I am also unable to access the webpage at either address (dhcp or default ip) I was able to prior to failing the array.
Does anyone have documentation for this recovery?
Also does the device normaly function if drives are removed or the array is failed?
Last, does anyone know how the raid is done? is it a software or hardare solution?
