It seems to work fine for some folks and others it does not kick off an automatic raid rebuild to use the new strange drive. I really have not played with the drive enabler. That said easypartition or some 3rd party tool may be best for that as it gets quirky if you delete the predefined shares. That is really enough but you may want to expand it before you consume the d: data part. Go with two 3tbs from scratch for a raid 1 mirror 3tb and then add the 3rd down the road for 6tb if needed. I think if this goes well you will have proof of concept. I have no clue if it would migrate to a 3tb raid 5. Does it look like im doing something stupid?.Am I supposed to be taking over the recovery with the restore software from this point that doesnt seem to want to find it.Reading the last line, I can see it stopped / errored within moments of starting: /WTEHdc3Q I appreciate I’ve not allowed this one to run for very long as I wanted to get a post up here incase I’m doing something stupid I’ve just run one ‘step 3’ briefly and the recovery.log file is the following (once ‘Rcovery started’ has appeared, the recovery software cannot find it on the network - despite it gaining an IP from my DHCP and the USB recovery stick stops flashing - presume no more read/write activity) Unfortunately due to me trying this a lot this weekend, I didnt start saving my log files until todays run… =( Verify that the server started in recovery mode, and that the server and the client computer are connected to the same router.’ĭespite it being seen on the router, getting and IP (although doesnt respond to PING) I then create a USB drive for step 3 “Perform a recovery” and copy my whitelist files to it - and the thing just sits on ‘RECOVERY STARTED’ without any response from the recovery tool when pressing ‘next’ - I just get ‘Your server could not be found. Successful as I can see it? (Please correct if wrong) That process gives me the following recovery.log output: /RrEhVkdk I can now perform a successful step 2 “Recreate my storage” process from the recovery utility with using the following WHITELISTK.XML and WHITELISTS.xml: /W1sChbSP I have also yeilded help from: Recreating the storage dx4000 - Stuck (recreate storage success) ![]() Invalid Drive: DX-4000 Shows Invalid Drive on the LCDĮxpanding Drive List: Expanding DX4000 HDD List ![]() ![]() Resolving ‘Incompatible Drive’ Error: /knowledgebase/answer.aspx?ID=16630 OK, so me being me, fired on into things and strugled - greatly! Here is what I’ve done so far:ĭiscovered there is a drive ‘whitelist’ and overcome that by following a mixture of these ending in modifying my whitelist xml files. I have just the box, no drives but have got two old 1TB drives I intend to use to experiment with the DX4000 before I buy 4 new matched drives to utilise it fully. I’ve just inhereted a DX4000 (Client upgraded and no longer needed it) so I ‘aquired it’ nothing wrong with it and has come from a working environment.
