Default Re: Snap Server 2200 connectivity issues?

Phoenix, you are behind the game. He has a 2000 and a 2200 with neither in raid and both with failed drives. So now he trying to determine if they can be recovered.

To help you catch up. He was trying to see if he could recover any data by moving the drives to a pc. Which you know the answer to that. Which is out of the question with maybe FreeBSD 6.1 and FreeNAS. I was also suggesting using the HD mfg disk utility to read the SMART data, external of the snaps.

Since the 2200 requires a HD to boot. I was sugesting use the 2000 to prepare the drive and see if it would boot the 2200. Then reload the OS to correct for the different models. The reason for how to open the 2000 and 2200 cases. With the SN of the 2000 I determine it was proably a v1.

This forum went balastic this afternoon, look at the time stamps. As soon as I answered 1 I had 2 more questions.
