Resynchronizing the Volume

NETGEAR ReadyNAS User Guide

Resynchronizing the Volume

If you had to power off to replace the failed disk, turn on the power on the ReadyNAS.

The RAID volume automatically resynchronizes with the new disk in the background. The process takes several hours depending on disk size. During the resync process, the ReadyNAS can be used as normal, although access will be slower until the volume is finished resynchronizing.

You will be notified by e-mail when the resync process is complete.

Resetting Your System (System Switch)

Refer to the Installation Guide included in the shipping box (a PDF of the Installation Guide is also on your Installation CD) for the location of the System Reset switch on the back of the ReadyNAS.

The System Reset switch allows you to perform three functions:

1.Reinstall the ReadyNAS firmware.

2.Reset the ReadyNAS back to the factory default settings.

3.Change between X-RAID and Flex-RAID mode.

Typically, you should not need to resort to options (1) and (2) unless you exhausted all other means of recovering your system. You might want to reinstall the ReadyNAS firmware as a first step, if the ReadyNAS had been working normally but a configuration change makes it inaccessible. If this does not work or you wish to set the ReadyNAS back to a factory default state, you can do so following these instructions below:

•To re-install the ReadyNAS firmware: Use a paper clip to depress the switch while the system is off. Continue to depress the reset switch while powering on the system for approximately 5 seconds until the disk LEDs flash once to signify that the command has been accepted. The firmware installation takes several minutes to complete. The Status LED in the front will be solid green when the process is complete. The installation does not affect the data on the ReadyNAS.

Warning: Make sure that you do not continue to press the reset switch after the LEDS flash once, otherwise a Factory Default will occur that erases your data. (see below)

A start time of 0000 and an end time of 2300 will set snapshots to be taken between midnight and 11 pm the next day at the interval you specify. Once you save the snapshot schedule, the time of the next snapshot is displayed. When the next snapshot is taken, the previous one is replaced You can also specify how long a snapshot should last. If you will be using snapshots for backups, you can schedule the snapshot to last slightly longer than the expected duration of the backup. Having an active snapshot can affect the write performance to the ReadyNAS, so deactivating it when it is not needed might be advantageous in write-intensive environments USB Storage Resizing Snapshot SpaceFAT32 NTFS Ext2 Ext3 Managing Your Shares USB Flash Device OptionAdding Shares Managing Shares Setting Share Access in Share Mode Setting Share Access in User and Domain Modes 192.168.2., 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0, 192.168.2.0/24Hosts allowed access 192.168.2.101 Hosts allowed access 192.168.2.101Recycle Bin.

RAID 5 provides redundancy by striping data across three or more disks and keeping the parity information on one of the disks in each stripe. In case of disk failure, the surviving disks and the parity disk are used to reconstruct the lost data, providing data transparently to the user application. When the failed disk has been replaced with a good disk, the reconstructed data is written out to the new disk when the reconstruction or sometimes referred as RESYNC process is complete, the volume returns to a redundant state. The capacity of a RAID 5 volume is the smallest disk in the RAID set multiplied by one less than the number of disks in the RAID set. For example, a four-disk RAID 5 set provides the capacity of three disks, assuming all four disks are identical in size Host Appendix B Input Field FormatDomain or Workgroup Name Host NameSNMP Community Share PasswordShare Name User or Group NameNETGEAR ReadyNAS User Guide User PasswordThe password can be any character except for single quote Input Field Formatv1.0, October NETGEAR ReadyNAS User GuideInput Field Format v1.0, October Appendix C GlossaryGlossary v1.0, October NETGEAR ReadyNAS User GuideGlossary Index-1 IndexNumerics v1.0, Augustv1.0, August NETGEAR ReadyNAS RAIDiator 3.01 Administration ManualIndex-2 v1.0, August NETGEAR ReadyNAS RAIDiator 3.01 Administration ManualIndex-3 v1.0, August NETGEAR ReadyNAS RAIDiator 3.01 Administration ManualIndex-4 v1.0, August NETGEAR ReadyNAS RAIDiator 3.01 Administration ManualIndex-5 v1.0, August NETGEAR ReadyNAS RAIDiator 3.01 Administration ManualIndex-6 v1.0, August NETGEAR ReadyNAS RAIDiator 3.01 Administration ManualIndex-7 v1.0, August NETGEAR ReadyNAS RAIDiator 3.01 Administration ManualIndex-8
