So, I keep two terastations on a rotation for backups.
Last time I swapped them this unit refused to shutdown. I had actually forgotten about it and left for the night and the next morning the shut down message was still displayed. I tried holding the power button but it wouldn't power down until I pulled the power cord.
Well its time for this one to go back in but it doesn't seem to want to start up correctly now. I get no errors, i can ping the box and fully manage it with the web interface, it has just stopped sharing though.
I've tried removing all the shares and recreating some, I've tried wiping out the arrays and recreating them. During all this I get no errors.
attempting to browse it by using its \\ name I receive the same error you get when you attempt to connect to a computer without any shares.
I started the system up in em mode. Didn't seem to do anything different...
So, I figured I would try to update the firmware.
Without using the /force options the application just says that it cant find a hs-dhtgl on the network.
Once I enabled /force it finds the terastation but then when update is pressed it gives the following message:
Couldn't confirm response from hd-dhtgl665. please check a network address of both pc and hs-dhtgl664. please disabnle the firewall function if it is working on pc. updating is aborted.
I read that it will only attempt to TFTBoot if all other options fail, unfortunately the unit is booting up fine apart from what seems like the SMB service failing to start so it looks like that isn't an option...
What can I do?
