Iomega IX2-200 CE dead

Hi!
I have a StorCenter IX2-200 Cloud Edition that today was not found on my LAN. No ping, no sound form the harddrives, no light in any of the frontside led's. Nothing. Only the LAN-port led's are blinking when powerchord is connected, blinking like a small burst, every few seconds . Regardless of ethernet cable is connected or not.
I have tried pressing the pinhole reset, but that does not make it spin up.
Any ideas?
Regards
Jonas

Hello phazeone
If disconnecting and reconnecting the power adapter does not force the unit to turn on, then the power adapter or chassis has failed.
If you do try moving the disks to another ix2-200 CE unit, you should follow this guide, Moving disks from one network storage device to another for the best chances of success.

Iomega ix2-200 dont work

Good afternoon, I have iomega ix2-200 yesterday access to the settings menu and did a restore factory, let stay on all night. Today I noticed that the power light was flashing, so I reset the button, the problem persists. After doing a search on the forum and on the Internet made the most varied processes, including those that mention 1- pressed the reset button for 20sec, turned off the power while holding down the button, continued for more 15segs, then reconnected and kept pressed for more 20Secs, waited and the power light was on. I turned on the cable network and despite flashing light network can not have access to the ix2-200, and the router does not appear connected 2-hold down the reset button for 4 seconds 3 -power down and remove de drive 2, boot up with only drive 1 installed, then attempt to acess, power down and install drive 2 , remove drive 1then boot and attempt to acess Would I like to help again put my ix2-200 to function properly, as it was before I do a factory restore.

Hello nunoteixeira,
You've tried everything that I would have recommended.
If the NAS is in warranty, you can start a support ticket here:

I have had a disc failure on my system above. I have two 1GB discs and need to replace one if not both.
I have tried to to find a compatability list but can only find one for firmware version 3.3 and above.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Iomega StorCenter ix2-200 - Harddrive failure.

Hi, I own a Iomega ix2-200. It's the 2x2 GB Device with firmware version: 2.1.42.18967A few weeks ago the red-LED started to blink in front of the device.
I check the Iomega system manager and it says.
"The Iomega StorCenter device is degraded and data protection is at risk".So I check the log.It says:10/07/2013 8:05 pm Drive number 1 cannot be detected.10/07/2013 8:05 pm Data is available, but a failure has been detected. My question is. How do I know what drive is "Drive number 1" and how do I know what type of drive I need to replace the old one with?I really would prefer if I could fix this problem myself rather than to send the whole device for repairs when it's only a drive that's broken. Thanks for your time // Max B

Hi Africa13 Yeah they should do fine, are either of your current disks operational? When you replace the drives, the Iomega software is actually stored on the existing drives, not the enclosures built in memory. So when replacing, it will need a drive with the software on it. You basically replace one drive at a time and then allow the new drive to build. Once its complete, you replace the other and allow it to build then the same way. I had no issues with my two WD 2TB 3.5" SATA-600 IntelliPower 64MB Caviar Red that I put in, so you should be fine. Kind Regards Buckweed

StorCenter ix2-200 Cloud Edition 6TB disk supported?

Hi Community,
I have a 2x1TB StorCenter ix2-200 and I would like to upgrade the disks to bigger size. I see that WD RED 4TB is supported, but I would like to buy two 6TB at same value/GB. But will it work? I know it's not officially compatible (yet), but 1,2,3,4 TB are already approved.
System says it's up-to-date on the firmware.
Regards
Jonas

It is a matter of hardware/software compatibility and limitations.
The hard drives in your Iomega ix2-200, ix4-200d, ix4-200r, px12-350r and ix12-300r can only be replaced with the specific model and capacity of drive that Iomega has qualified for each device.
Using other disks won't work, could cause operating system damage, and may void your warranty.
Here is a compatibility list and any drives 3TB or lower should work.
HDDs approved for use with ix2 and ix2-dl

Iomega - StorCenter iX2-200 - TUTORIAL

How do I set up the Airport Extreme so that it works well with the Iomega StorCenter ix2-200. I would not think any tutorial for theAirport settings in which the manual says Iomega.
Regards,

My best advise to you would be to return the unit if at all possible. I have had nothing but trouble with mine and iomega support is dreadful.
Currently on the 2nd unit. Had a hard drive fail on this one 2 weeks ago, they have still not authorised a replacement drive and today the 2nd drive has also failed. Another dead unit.

Iomega StorCenter ix2-200 ver 2.1.44.30050

Help me...
Hope there is someone who can help me
I bought 2 x 3tg WD HD and nestled in my Iomega StorCenter ix2-200
2.1.44.30050 ..
How do I get it to work ??
I hope son body help me

Hello AllanUrup
What is the issue you are having when trying to use the ix2-200?
Have you already checked the ix2-200 Knowledge Base regarding the issue?
If you are having issues using the WD 3 TB disks with the unit, be sure that you followed the upgrade guide from here.
Also just a heads up, the ix2-200 did not ship with disd larger than 2 TB. Some users have been able to use larger disks, however it usually ends up causing RAID instability.
The ix2-200 Cloud Edition and higher support disks larger than 2 TB officially.

Iomega StorCenter ix2-200 version 2.1.48.30125 - can't browse folders

Hi, I have a Iomega StorCenter ix2-200. Everything is working fine, I can browse and access folders using windows explorer. BUT, as soon as I added it to our domain, if I access it from explorer using \\192.168.3.15\ it will prompt me for a password, and no password is working....so I cannot see any folder. I would like it to work as any NAS do, meaning I would like to see the folders and then set permissions on them. I do not want it to prompt for a password. What am I doing wrong? thank you!

Hello lorenzo_phse,
Are there any local users stored on the NAS?
Those credentials should work.
Have you tried mapping one of the shares from a Domain machine?
It might also be worthy to note here that the firmware version is fairly old and it is possible that there may just be a compatibility issue.
Here is a link to the support page for the ix2-200:

Iomega StoreCenter ix2-200, Poolstatus nicht verfügbar

Hallo,
Ich habe ein gebrauchtes StoreCenter ix2-200 gekauft und die Firmware 3.2.8.30031 installiert.
Zusätzlich verwende ich Windows 8 und den Lenovo EMC Storage Manager.
Leider kann ich auf der ix2 keine Freigaben einrichten, da die Fehlermeldung:
Die ausgewählte Funktion ist auf Grund des Poolstatus nicht verfügbar.
Habe ich eine falsche Software geladen?

If you are not using Gigabit Ethernet but are using 10/100 Ethernet then expect slows as molasses performance. Gigabit Ethernet is roughly as fast as using a basic USB drive for backup. 100 Mb/s Ethernet is 10 times slower.

Does StoreCenter ix2-200 need new software when changing to Window 7 64 bit from xp 32 bit

Hi Everyone; Our company is getting new computer and we they will be Windows 7 64 bit. We are currently using XP with 32 bit. Will we need new software to connect to ix2-200 Or will the software that came with if be good. Thanks for you help and have a great weekend.

StorCenter ix2-200 disrupts network switch

I have an Iomega StoreCenter IX2-200 that is connected via ethernet to a Netgear GS105 Gigabit ethernet switch along with other devices such as my laptop, printer and a different/older Iomega StorCenter. Then the switch itself is connected to a Netgear router (through another switch that services the rest of my home). Everythying has worked fine for a few years. Now I am suddenly unable to connect to my NAS devices. And the lights on the Netgear switch will cycle between all lights on all ports blink together, then the lighs for each port with light in order. Then it repeats. I discovered if I unplug my IX2-200 from the switch, all activity returns to normal (all other devices, including my older StorCenter work fine). I tried plugging it in to different ports on the switch and get the same issue regardless where I plug it in. Does it sound like my IX2-200 enclosure (and the internal network adapter) need to be replaced? The lights on the IX2-200 seem to be indicate normal functioning and I can hear the disks spinning normally when I restart it. Any ideas how to diagnose what the problem is? I am hoping I can just find another NAS enclosure that supports SATA II disks and switch enclosures. But don't want to waste my money if that's not the issue. Any help is appreciated.

UPDATE: I connected the ix2-200 directly to my router and it appears to work. I cannot connect to it to use the management utility via Internet Explorer (certificate issues, then won't connect) but can get to it via Chrome. Oh well, so there is still something buggy with my configuration somewhere but at least the ix2-200 is working,

Ix2-200 VERY slow accessing files via osx 10.10

ix2-200 running fine. Drives are good. Using latest firmware 2.1.46.30093.
Can manage via browser just fine.
Connect to server using smb ipaddr and it mounts up just fine.
I can open the directory (using osx 10.10.1) with finder just fine, but when I try to access the files within the directory, nothing shows up (I know the files are there) and can hear/see drive activity (blue light flashes). If I wait an hour or so, I can start seeing files. Since this is a laptop, it's not possible to always leave it connected and waiting at least an hour after connecting to it is not acceptable.
How can this issue be resolved?
Thanks
Bill

Hello morber
Try connecting to the ix2-200 via AFP instead of SMB/windows file sharing on your Mac.
Finder> Go> Connect to Server, there enter the ip address of the unit and proceed. It should ask which share folders to access and if secured, enter the NAS user account credentials.

Alert EMAILS from IX2-200 No Longer Work

The last ALERT email I received was in November 2014 advising me that there was a new upgrade available. Since that time there has been nothing .... recently I had to "shut" the system down by unplugging it .... guess what -- never rec'd an email ALERT to the failure. I have tried updating my email in the system and request a test email ... but never get anything.
I beleive my emails should be going thru the myremote.nas relayhost server. this is what I see in my /usr/local/cfg/Email.xml (<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><Email Default_Password="Hkv482N9G" Default_RelayServer="alerts.myremotenas.com:587" Default_Sender="[email protected]" Default_User="lifelinesohostorage" _Fixed_="1">).
I have the older IX2-200 NON-CLOUD Edition of the system and it is at 2.1.46.30093 firmware (latest).
Don't know if this is a system problem or if something has happened to the myremote.nas server. Is there an update available or something else that I have to do in order to get my ALERT notifications working again??
Appreciate your help ....

I reset my email in settings to blank, shut down the device and then restarted. Once rebooted, I went to settings and added my email back in and asked for a test message to be sent -- nothing received. SSH'd into the device and upon looking at the mail.log here's what I see ....

Lenovo Iomega ix2-dl YouTube Upload Einstellungen

Hallo Community,
falls es bereits einen solchen Post mit diesem Thema geben sollte, entschuldige ich mich, aber ich habe sowohl in der Suche hier als auch bei Google keine Hilfe gefunden.
Ich mache Let's Plays und lade daher regelmäßig Videos auf YouTube hoch. Da wir allerdings kein sonderlich gutes Internet haben, wollte ich den Upload in die Nacht verschieben. Um nicht die ganze Zeit meinen Rechner an lassen zu müssen wollte ich dies via NAS erledigen und habe mir die Lenovo ix2-dl (1x3TB) gekauft. Prinzipiell funktioniert das auch (Kopierauftrag in aktiven YouTube-Ordner).
Nun zu meinem Problem: alle Videos werden sofort öffentlich gestellt. Dies würde ich gerne vermeiden, da sie dann noch keine Beschreibung, Thumbnail etc. haben und weil ich teilweise ein paar Tage im vorraus hochlade. Gibt es eine Möglichkeit Standarteinstellung für den Upload (insbesondere Sichtbarkeit) festzulegen? Die Standarteinstellung für Videouploads von YouTube werden leider nicht angewendet. Auch eine alternative Anwendung könnte mir weiterhelfen, falls jemand eine kennt.
I have no Idea why this message was posted in the english part of the forum. My question is: ist there a possiblity to make the videos, uploaded to YouTube from the Lenovo Iomega ix2-dl, private instead of public? Also an other application for uploading videos to YouTube from the NAS could be helpfull.
Vielen Dank/Thank you
karahindiba

This is a privacy setting you need to change on the YouTube default settings. Change the default privacy setting to private.
Dies ist eine Datenschutzeinstellung , die Sie auf der YouTube-Standardeinstellungen ändern müssen. Ändern Sie den Standard-Datenschutzeinstellung auf privat.
