Default Merdian Snap 2000

Just recently bought a used Merdian Snap Server 2000 from a seller on Ebay. Updated both drives no problem.

Version of Snap Server

Question, what is your INFO version on the Merdian Snap Server 2000?

Question to Joe, the one you hacked, what is the INFO version?

For reason, I do have a Quantum Snap Server 2000 40gb, and would like to upgrade it.

Model: 2000 series
Software: 3.4.790 (US)
Hardware: 2.0.0
Server#: XXXXX
BIOS: 2.0282

I'm wondering of all Snap Server 2000 could be upgraded. By reading other replys in the forum it looks like on the Merdian Snap Server is upgradable, and new Snap Server are not.

Thank-you
Herman Louie

I found this on usenet, and it looks interesting. i might try copying with the latest drive image and see if it works.

-A

I guess the first thing is to look at the hidden web page (Snap's tech
support revealed this to me when I had a problem with another snap
system), http://yourserver/config/debug. From this web page, called the
command prompt, type "?" in the command text entry field to get a
listing of all the available commands in the Snap system. The two
commands I used were: "config devices info", to get the partition device
numbers, and "config devices format 10000 /reinit", to reformat the data
partition which the snap server thought was a 15Gb partition, but became
the full 60Gb of the new disk after a reboot and the reinit format.

dd is a tool on any unix machine (OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, etc.) which will
simply copy data from one file device to another, where the device can
be either a entire disk, just a single partition on a disk, or a file. I
used dd kinda like how Ghost images one entire disk to a second disk,
but I am not sure if Ghost will recognize the snap disks. In my case, I
copied every bit from the original snap 15Gb disk to my brand new 60Gb
disk. I then stuck the 60Gb disk into the Snap 1000, and started the
snap server. It liked the 60Gb disk, but it still thought my 60Gb disk
was the orginal 15Gb disk with 15Gb of total disk space (the snap
partition tables had not changed to reflect the increased disk space). I
went to the normal web screen to try and reformat the disk, but my 60Gb
disk would only appear as the orginal 15Gb disk. That is, until I played
around with the debug area of the web site and issued the two commands
in the first paragraph.

I have been kinda excited about the success of the upgrade since it took
me about three weeks of playing around with the 1000 and searching the
Internet. Needless to say I only found one article, about a 2000
upgrade, which was no help to the 1000. I will probably play around more
with the upgrade process to see it there is another way.

When I access http://yourserver/config/debug
the page looks just like http://yourserver/config.

Any ideas on why? Also, what is the model # of my router?

Also, how do I find out the OS version, bios version, etc?

See attached pic.

Thanks,
Charles
