Ix4-300d addiing hdd issue

Hi!
I started off with 3x3tb in RAID5 and now upgraded with a 4th disk of the same model. Extension went smoothly, and I see the new size in the Drive Management (as well as the header bar), however the shares still report the old size. Already tried rebooting but didnt bring the expected success
My guess is that some storage pool would need extending, but I didnt find any such option anywhere. Any help appreciated 
Cheers,
Franky

Hi,
I have the same problem actually with my new ix4-300d. Started with 3 3TB-Disks in Raid5 and added No 4.
Total Drive Size:10.92 TB
Capacity:8.13 TB
Used Space:4.01 TB
Free Space:1.32 TB
Unallocated:2.71 TB
Firmware Version 4.1.102.29716

The link "Perform an offline file system check then reboot" in Drive Management Settings did only reboot and no fs check started.
In this forum I found the link to ix4-300d/manage/diagnostics.html. The "Perform an offline file system check then reboot"-link in the storage section started a fs check, no change.
What can be done?Thanks für Help HCHO

  • IX4-300D add HDD

    I bought a IX4-300d diskless, and first I set-up a Raid 0 with 2x1TB HDD. Now I add a new 1tb HDD, and change to the Raid 5, the ix4 Recognize my new HDD, and show TB of space in the system status, buy I can not use this space ...
    The IX-4 300d not allow to use this extra space.
    Some Idea?

    The drives need to be the same manufacturer or else the device may not accept them. This is because having drives with different specifications can cause issues with the RAID.

  • I need confirmation, please help me! (about adding new hdd on my ix4-300d)

    Hello,
    I buy recently a Lenovo ix4-300d, I have installed one hdd seagate 2To (ST2000VN000).
    I saved many documents on it..
    Today I want to install 2 others hdd WD 1To (WD10EZEX).
    After reboot a message tells me I need to erase all data on the news disks before I can use it, so I confirm, all seems ok.. After that a message appear on the left "2 disks unused".
    Now (step 3 page74 on the .pdf guide) I need to check the box "add drives to storage system" and click confirm to activate the news disks, so I do, but I have this message:
    "Vous devez supprimer les données existantes pour pouvoir modifier la configuration du disque.
    Cochez cette case pour continuer."
    (in english "You must erase existing data for change the disk configuration" or something like that)
     I don't want to loose all the data on my first hdd already in use.. ..and the 2 others news disks are empty.
    So, there is my question:
    if I check the box and click continue what "existing data" will be erase??
    existing data on all hdd?? Or just on the new one??
    nb: Sorry for "my english" but there is no french section in the forum, and the assistance don't answer me by email, and on the phone there is an answerphone tells me "for help if you don't have the error number code, you must go on the forum, bye.."  .. ..  I hope my question is understandable. 
    Thanks 

    Hello tictictac
    Sorry that you experienced data loss, however it was preventable if a backup had been made as recommended.   
    From the screen shot you sent it looks like the drives were already added to the existing array after the first drive overwrite request.  With the array being made up of mixed disk models and none of the disks showing any green stipes indicating overwrite selection,  I can not say for certain what caused all the disks to be wiped.  I suspect that is was taken as a RAID change and all disks were wiped from there. 
    For future reference please check the device support page to see the guides, FAQ's, and download the full user manual( in French here ) and check with LenovoEMC support in your region.  The Europe support region has several languages available to choose from including the France number +33 17048 0388.  The full list of Europe numbers can be found here.

  • Ix4-300d Add iSCSI Drive Issue

    Hello Everyone, I have a brand new, out of the box ix4-300d. When i go into the iSCSI area, enable the iSCSI feature and click "Add an iSCSI Drive" the add drive area does not appear. I have tried this in IE 9, IE 11, and Chrome 43.0.2357.130 m. See below for screenshot.
    The system is updated to the latest Firmware and I even did a factory reset of the device with no luck.  Any ideas on what I need to do to fix this? EDIT: I realized this is in the wrong forum could a Mod move this one - sorry for the trouble. Thxm-S 

    Interesting. I just created a standard share on the device. After I did that, the iSCSI drive configuration area appeared and was accessible. I have no idea why this worked but it did!!! -S

  • Ix4-300d network interface going off-line

    I just got a new ix4-300d to use as an iSCSI target in a relatively low-performance requirement file server.
    I have used ix4-200d and ix4-300d in the past for iSCSI targets in disk-based backup scenarios wihtout issues. 
    I am having problems with this one, though. I am attempting to copy data to this new unit (with a VHD mounted from the iSCSI connection to the system), and while data seems to copy OK, at some point the network interface quits working somehow. 
    When this occurs, the unit still thinks that the interface is configured, and everything seems OK, I just cannot connect. Obviously, this causes my iSCSI initiators to die, and the VM hosted crashes hard. At that point, I have to restart the storage unit, and then reconnect my initiators, and then bring everything back online.
    I've updated the firmware to the latest, but it wasn't that far out of date. I've found an article titled "Network storage device is not assigned an IP address" in the knowledgebase that points ot a problem with the software in the 4.0.2 series, and I was at 4.0.6, and am now current in 4.0.8. I am testing the process again, but wanted to check with the community to see if anyone has experienced anything similar and/or could offer some idea of why this interface quits working.
    For what it's worth, the other units I have worked with were all in the 3.x series of software.
    Thanks for any help/information anyone can provide.

    Hi chloeroxymax,
    Do you have discovery enabled?
    If not, check the box for "Enable discovery with iSNS" under the iSCSI settings and select "Use local iSNS server".
    Then, on your iSCSI Initiator, go to the Discovery tab. Click "Add Server" under iSNS servers and enter the IP address of the NAS.
    The device should show up under the Targets tab (you may have to click the refresh button)
    On your other NAS devices, go to the iSCSI settings page and select "Enable discovery with iSNS" but select "Use external iSNS server" and type in the IP address of the ix4-300d NAS.
    This may help things run smoothly. If the device is still disconnecting, I would recommend contacting technical support since this is a new device and you are covered by the warranty for support.

  • Ix4-300d iSCSI disconnect Windows 2012R2

    Hello Everyone,
    I just recently purchased (3 days ago) an ix4-300D and updated it to the latest patch.  I have 4 x WD 3TB Disks and they are configured with a raid 0 configuration.  I then have 2 NICs (not bonded) and using the second port for the iSCSI LAN (192.168.100.100, Jumbo Frames 9000) and the 1st port for accessing the device (192.168.1.100).  I carve out 3 TB iSCSI LUN (with CHAP) and give it a name. My Windows Server sees this (under the 192.168.100.X network) and I"m able to bring it online, mount it, format it and use the LUN.  I then start copying about 2.5 TB of Data off an ix2 back to this Ix4 and about 1/4 through the copy, the iSCSI disconnects and the actual unit is frozen., It won't respond to web interface on the 192.168.1.x LAN either. I have to actually unplug it and then plug it back in for the unit to respond.   I know that iSCSI works on the Window Server as I replaced a custom NAS Server using OpenFiler and worked for over 2 years w/o issues/reboots or anything else. The only thing that has changed is the NAS box (the ix4-300d).  Can anyone think of anything I could be doing wrong? What to check? I am thinking it is a bad unit but I want to check everything first.
    I will say the only thing that *could* be out of line (but is VERY doubtful is the problem) is that 3 of the WD drives are 3TB Reds and 1 is a 3 TB Black. I'm going to remove the black drive and redo the entire unit to see if that resolves the problem but I doubt it will.  I know the Reds are "certified".
    I have already removed the Jumbo Frames just in case (though the windows networking card supports Jumbo Frames 9000 since the old SAN was working with these w/o issue).
    Thoughts anyone???

    Hello CPXGreg
    Using a mixed disk array can cause instabilities, so I do recommend that you try using the unit without the WD Black disk for at least testing.
    Next, there are various factors that could cause or contribute to a firmware lock like this.  Usually this is caused by media server crashing, which then escalates to a full firmware lock.  I recommend checking that media server has been turned off for now and any unused protocols.  If the unit still locks up I recommend that you contact LenovoEMC support to have a dump report from the unit reviewed.  This way we can check what may be at the root of the issue.

  • Lanovo ix4 300d and european character set for samba shares

    Hi,
    I am installing a couple of IX4-300d at a client site, struggling to set and fix the samba character set for the Windows shares. Here in Italy everyone is used to put western european characters into filenames (for example è ò ° €) but the NAS acts wierdly when it finds such caracters in folder names and file names.
    As you know samba gives the possibility to declare dos charset= ISO8859-1 and unix charset= ISO8859-1 in the smb.conf file but the option is not present in the IX4 setup pages.
    Is there an easy way to circumvent the problem and fix this option? As it is now the machine is fearly useless, at least if you need to migrate files and folder from a server or storage with ISO8859 charset already applied.
    thanks a lot

  • Ix4-300d MPG AVI Thumbnails

    Hi,
    I have a ix4-300d runing firmware 4.1.108.32627. I am unable to, and have never been able to, get thumbnail images (jpg format) of DVD covers to display on either my PS3, Raspberry Pi (Kodi/XMBC) or Windows 7 machine running Kodi. I am able to play the video files on either machine without any problems.
    In my "Movies" share I have a series of mpg/AVI files, each with a corresponding jpg file, with identical name (e.g Batman.mpg & Batman.jpg). On my previous Netgear NAS this allowed any machine to display the DVD cover image. It just doesn't work on my ix4-300d. I have even tried PNG image files.
    Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get the images displayed?
    Thanks 

    Hello macnero and parrish
    As suggested here and here   There is a Lifeline firmware SDK application for ARM based devices (EZ Media, ix2-ng/dl, and ix4-300d)
    You would need to contact support in your region,  advise support that you are having issues viewing coverart/Thumbnails via the built in Twonky media server feature and would like to get the SDK application for your device.  This is to avoid confusion over missing icon thumbnails in the Lifeline web management interface, which is handled differently.

  • Lenovo ix4-300d and 4 Hd 6 tb red

    Hi first of all sorry for my english, 
    I have 4 Nas ix4-300d,
    3 with 4 green 3 tb Hd they work perfectly never have any problem in 3 year. I work in raid 0 because
    I duplicate the files in other HH and I want the maximum of space available.
    the fourt one I bought 3 days ago and I try to install 4 6Tb red wd inside it in Raid0 here is the problem...
    I can't create shares becouse of this message :
    "The selected function is not available due to the state of the pools"
    So I look on the internet and see that maybe I can't work in raid0 if the disk is bigger than 4 TB (CRAP)
    then I try to put Raid 5 ( the only I can choose beside Raid 10 )  but in 36 Hours the data recostruction
    is only 19 %     with 0 files on it.......................
    Can someone Help me please?
    Can someone give me some advise?
    Did you know a Nas that work in Raid0 with 6tb and 8 tb disk?
    Ty in advance.

    Hello Nico84
    1.  The ix4-300d will probably be able to use 6 TB HDD's if only 2-3 were installed and depending on the protection mode( 2x 6TB disks RAID 0, 3x 6TB disks RAID 5).  However the limitation your are running into is that the the ix4-300d's Marvell Armada XP 1.3GHz MV78230 processor is only 32 bit and has the 16 TB ceiling.  
    2.  The ix2-dl and px class devices can officially support 6TB HDD's in RAID 0 or NONE. 
    3.  Please check with these retailers/resellers about lenovoEMC devices in your region.  Where to Buy
    4.  With any 32 bit system the capacity limit for a volume is 16 TB.  With the ix4-300d the max supported is 4x 5TB disks in RAID 5,  this would roughly yield a 15 TB volume.  
    What you are attempting with the 4x 6TB HDD's in RAID 5 would roughly yield a 18 TB volume, which is above the 16 TB volume ceiliing for the unit's processor.
    Again using 3x 6TB HDD's should theoretically work in RAID 5 and yield about a 12TB volume.  If you were to use just 2x 6TB HDD you should theoretically be able to have a 12TB RAID 0 array. Both of which would be under the 16 TB cap.  
    If you are fully intending on using 4x 6TB or larger disks, then a px class unit will need to be used. 
    I hope this better explains the situation you are having.

  • Lenovo ix4-300d - Data protection is being reconstructed gets stuck.

    Hi experts,
    After a power loss my Lenovo IX4-300d went on a "Data protection is being reconstructed" phase. This process never ends because it gets stuck at a certain % that changes every time I power on the IX4, at this point it becomes unresponsive and I have to unplug the power cord. I´m using RAID 5, so theoretically there is more than one drive failing. I am not an expert of course, just googled this, I don´t even know if its right.
    In the other hand there is nothing stating a HD failure in the logs or the system status of the IX4.
    So, how can I identify which drivers are failing in order to replace them?
    Could this be a logical failure and be fixed by formatting the drives?
    Any additional comments or recommendation? I am able to access my data while it´s "reconstructing" so I am moving my things out of the nas.
    Thanks
    EG 

    You can try rebooting with one drive removed at a time. If you are having one drive fail you should be able to boot with it missing. You should also check to see if you are still in warranty and call tech support. They will be able to assist in diagnosing the issue and replacing drives if needed.

  • Cannot update to Firmware version 4.1.108.32627 on ix4-300d

    Just bought an ix4-300d with 4-3Tb drives.  I cannot update Firmware to the latest version.  After uploading to the NAS, when I click 'Apply' or 'Apply all pending updates", I see a message that says "The update file is being decompressed".  After several seconds, I then receive dialog box that says, "Error – The software could not be updated."
    Any ideas what the issue could be?  Are there any log files to look at?
    Current Version:         4.1.102.29716
    Upgrade to:                 4.1.108.32627

    Hello dcsantis
    Check the event log for any abnormal storage alerts such as degraded storage, recoverable errors, missing drive alerts, etc.  Those sort of alerts could contribute to the firmware update issue.
    Some basic steps to try for the issue:
    Re-download the update file again and check the md5 checksum from the download page.  If the checksum fails, try downloading from a different browser or computer and check it again.
    Try uploading and applying the file using a different browser or computer.
    Try re-seating all disks with the unit off, then try uploading and applying the update file again.
    Try swapping disks 1 and 4 to opposite bays, then try uploading and applying the file again after booting.
    LenovoEMC support should be contacted to create an incident if the above steps do not work.

    So I requested a offline file system check from diagnose page. That was as off now 23 hours ago, from what I can see, the fs check did not take long, but has been stuck at DEvice software restarting for at least 22 hourse. I use less then 200Gig on it, setup as raid 10.
    This device is not 1 month old. I had it freeze on my once already, not while restarting, just froze up. So that is the second time.
    Status in the web console said all is fine, I had to go in through ssh and look at the os logs to find out what is happening.
    What should I do?
    Solved!

    Hello CollegeMathieu
    Please contact support using the below support links so we can have the issue properly diagnosed.  There is a good chance that the unit may have shipped with a defective drive (if it is a diskless model one of your hard disks may be defective).  This could be causing the strange firmware behavior. 
    A couple of things to try :
    -power down the unit and re-seat all disks then try booting again to see if there is any change.
    -If the above does not work, try swapping disk 1 with any of the other hard disks while powered off and then try booting again.
