Iomega StorCenter ix2-200 device fails when powered. Best way to retrieve data

Hi, I'm new here because until now I've been lucky enough to experience no issues with my NAS.
Unfortunately, as of this morning when I power on the ix2 the '!' light blinks red. I can't connect to it through my computer and the desktop Iomega program, under 'dashboard' everything seems as usual except the pie chart showing space usage is not there. But it does still say the device is operating normally. However, when I click on Users or Shared Storage it says 'Disks Not Ready. The selected function is not available due to the state of the disks. Visit the dashboard for details.'
Can anyone advise me what to do from here? I keep a backup elsewhere but I would like to get a few little things of that have been added since my last backup if possible though, it's not the end of the world if it's not.
Many thanks, James.

Can you create new shares? Some users have been able to retrieve their data by adding the shares back by the same name. Not sure if it will be the same case here. A Linux-based device should be able to read from the drives, so there may be an error on the drive or a bad sector possibly. You may need to use a data recovery service to retrieve the data.
You could try one other thing by accessing the hidden support page.
Follow the instructions here: http://www.vmcutlip.com/index.php/2013/04/howto-enable-ssh-root-level-access-on-an-iomega-storcenter...
Select "Recover Disks". I would only do this as a last resort and are not concerned with losing the data.

Iomega StorCenter ix2-200 ver 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 - 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 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.

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

Data Protection Verification Stuck on Iomega StorCenter ix2-200

Anybody can kindly advise how to handle this issue?
When logging into the storage web management UI 2 weeks back, I saw below message:
Verifying data protection configuration. Verification is 1% complete.
Now it is still 1% only, so I am thinking something must be wrong even though my NAS looks still working fine.
May I know how to deal with it?
Thanks in advance!

My device is ok now. The '...1%' message has gone after being stuck for weeks. There had been another data protection verification activity afterwards which completed quickly.
From event log I could only see very brief info like:
"9029","2014-08-29 10:49:37","","INFORMATION","Verifying storage data protection."
but it does not provide any value...

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,

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 stops working

I have an Iomega Storcenter ix2 4TB (on the bottom it says ix2-NG, there is no USB port on the front). It is a basic set up, I just use it as a 2TB in morrored raid and use it for backup. I often connect through finder on OSX 10.9, clickon the drive it asks to connect, I connect as guest. I then often use it to watch films that are stored on the NAS. One night after makig no changes (that I know of) I was watching a film and it stopped.
Now what happens is clicking on Ix2 in finder no longer works, but I can get in through connect to server. But after about 20 mins both lights on the front are constantly lit and teh NAS no longer works. Its not detected by my computer, neither MAC nor PC, the power button will no longer work, the reset does nothing. If I unplug and plug it back in again, it works ok for about 20-30 mins but then hangs again and become completely unresponsive.
If anyone has an idea what happened and how to fix it I would be really greatful

Best way to mark data that has changed when it is edited in a spark datagrid?

I am not sure if this is the best way to mark data that has changed (isModifiedClientSide ) when it is edited in a spark datagrid:
<GridColumn width="140" headerText="Margin "dataField="margin" editable="false" editable.editMode="true" >
                    <itemRenderer>
                        <fx:Component>
                            <DefaultGridItemRenderer textAlign="right"   background="true" backgroundColor="#ffffff" alpha="1.0" color="#000000" >
                                <focusOut>
                                    <![CDATA[
                                    this.data.isModifiedClientSide = 1;
                                    ]]>
                                </focusOut>
                            </DefaultGridItemRenderer>
                        </fx:Component>
                    </itemRenderer>
                </GridColumn>

I tried this but the value commit doesnt't get fired bro:
    <GridColumn width="140" headerText="Margin (disabled)" headerText.editMode="Margin (editing)" dataField="margin" editable="false" editable.editMode="true" >
                    <itemEditor>
                        <fx:Component>
                            <DefaultGridItemEditor>
                                <valueCommit>
                                    <![CDATA[

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.

Conversion failed when converting the varchar value to data type int

Hi, I am unable to resolve this error and would like some assistance please.
The below query produces the following error message -
Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'NCPR' to data type int.
Select Pc2.Assess,
                Select Pc1.Title
                From Pc1
                Where Pc1.Assess = Pc2.Assess
            ) [Title]
        From Pc2
However, when I run the query below I get the results shown in the image . Ie. nothing. Pc1 & Pc2 are aliases and are the same table and the assess field is an int. I found NCPR in one cell but that column (prop) is not used in the query. The table
is nearly 25k rows.
SELECT * FROM Pc1 WHERE Pc1.Assess LIKE '%NCPR%' OR ISNUMERIC(Pc1.Assess) = 0
Thank you

WHERE ISNUMERIC(id) = 1 and there are obviously no 'NCPR' records in the view as per my previous post.
That is a bad assumption - SQL Server does not have to evaluate the query in the order you are expecting it to.
Take this simple example
CREATE TABLE #example
col1 VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL
INSERT INTO #example VALUES ('1'), ('2'), ('NaN')
SELECT * FROM
SELECT * FROM #example
WHERE ISNUMERIC(col1) = 1
) X
(3 row(s) affected)
col1
1
2
(2 row(s) affected)
compare to
CREATE TABLE #example
col1 VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL
INSERT INTO #example VALUES ('1'), ('2'), ('NaN')
SELECT * FROM
SELECT * FROM #example
WHERE ISNUMERIC(col1) = 1
) X
WHERE col1 = 1
(3 row(s) affected)
col1
1
Msg 245, Level 16, State 1, Line 8
Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'NaN' to data type int.
