IX4-300D firmware downgrade

Upgraded firmware to 4.1.112.33292 for added security, Now there is not enough space to install optware. I get as far as installing gcc and then error installing python. My previous firmware was 4.0.4.14600, so I tried to download this version from http://download.lenovo.com/nas/releasenotes/lifeline-rn-v4.0.4.pdf which refers to the link: ftp://asgimage:[email protected]/h4c-
4.0.4.14600.zip but the link is dead. So, my only option is to downgrade to 4.0.2.9960 because it is the only other version that is available. So I download this and try to downgrade but i get the message "error, the update file is not valid". My request is simple....Please provide clear instructions on how to downgrade the firmware and supply working links to previous firmware versions.

  • Ix4-300d firmware update canceling

    Hi,
    im trying to update my ix4-300d from version 4.0.4.14600 to version 4.1.104.31360.
    I downloaded the h4c-4.1.104.31360.tgz and checked its md5: 54b576b17f4628ee5465880418a37e0b to be sure it was not corrupted during download.
    Then I upload the tgz-file to the NAS using the Web-Management and click to apply the update. He starts to decompress the update-file, but after a minute he jumps back to the management-page again and the systemlog states
    Info: Software is getting updated to new version
    Err: Software could not be updated, due to damaged Update-File
    If I connect over ssh and check the md5 of the update-file, its still the same hash as stated on the lenovo-website, so the update-file itself is definitly fine.
    md5sum /mnt/system/upgrade/staging/firmware/upgrade.bin  gives the same hash 54b576b17f4628ee5465880418a37e0b  .
    I can see in top that he tryies to decompress the upgrade.bin through openssl and gzip and tar but is failing somehow.I did not found a logfile for this procedure yet.
    Any Help appreciated.
    regards

  • Lenovo Iomega ix4-300d Disk Firmware Upgrade

    Hi guys,
    Is there a any way to upgrade my Seagate ST2000DM001-9YN164 Firmware from the IX4-300D device?
    The Seagate have a firmware upgrade utility, but is a livecd and it is for i686 hardware.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    We do not recommend or see it necessary to update the firmware unless you have firmware CC37 or lower. Is there a particular reason you wanted to upgrade the firmware? These drives should work with our device without needing to update the firmware.
    If you want to upgrade the firmware, then you will have to do so manually by taking the hard drives out individually and connecting them to your computer. Seagate has a program called SeaTools (http://www.seagate.com/support/downloads/seatools/) that you should be able to update the firmware with. However, be advised that if you are in warranty and perform the update and the device is damaged, it will void your warranty.

  • Ix4-300d disk firmware

    Hi,
    I recently bought ix4-300d with 4 2TB ST2000DM001-1ER164 (firmware CC25). Already having updated the devices firmware I saw on this thread 1524192 "We do not recommend or see it necessary to update the firmware unless you have firmware CC37 or lower". Now considering I have CC25 and the latest version by seagate is CC4H I was wondering how to upgrade the drives. I am fairly technical but I do not want to void the warranty so was looking at an official solution.
    Thanks

    Hello gsharad007
    LenovoEMC does not have a firmware (seagate firmware) update utility that will run through the ix4-300d.  If you wish to update the internal hard disks' seagate firmware, please go to the seagate support page to download any updates and apply them to the disks outside of the ix4-300d chassis.  This would not void the warranty on the ix4-300d.

  • 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.

  • IX4-300d - UPS, not showing in management, but sends messages if I connect and disconnect

    Just acquired a iX4-300d, and updated to the latest firmware (4.1.104.31360).
    On trying to link a UPS (a KSTAR BM-3080) - the UPS Management page just shows "Status: None Connected"
    BUT -  in the EVENT LOGS panes I get the following message:
    Event
    4462          An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) has been recognized.
    and if I unplug the USB connector between the UPS and the iX4-300d - the message
     Event
    4463
    The Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) has been removed.
     is shown ----- Surely if it sees a UPS is connected it should show one in the UPS Managment page, of not then why does it show in the Event log console.
    ALSO:
    Given that the iX4-300d seems to recognise a UPS has been connected - is there some way to update/replace or even get to the code related to this UPS mmanagement section,  so I can get readings from the UPS, thus enabling a 'smart shutdown' when the battery drops to say 10% remaining?
    (Could it not be just a "Plug in" that allows smarter people than me to enter the UPS I/O values and make it work with a wider range of UPS devices.
    Additionally - so far I havn't seen a list of "Approved UPS", just a note about some UPS systems that do not work.)
    DG.

    I've tested this with an  ix4-300d and APC smartUPS 1500 ( which is not on the list of compatible UPS ), but it is working exactly as you wish. Somewhere around 15% battery the device will shut down.
    Give it a try....
    B.T.W You may test the notification functionality by unplugging ups main supply. If properly configured this event will shouw up in the log and NAS will sent notification mail ( + another mail when mains are recovered)

  • 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.
    Solved!

    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.

  • Rsync Copy Job Failure ix4-300d

    I'm trying to run Copy Jobs between two new ix4-300d devices Firmware 4.0.6 I prefer to use SSL and rsync. So far I can't get it to work.
    I  can access the remote ix4, browse directories and upload files. When I set up a Copy Job from my local system (a) I'm not offered rsync as a protocol option in the "From" box, but I can select the directory to copy from using Windows File Sharing. In the "To" box, I select rsync and input username and password and can browse the remote ix4 shares to select the directory I want to copy to. However, when I run the Copy Job, I get the message "Access denied to the secure rsync service at <IP Address>"
    I have tried disabling rsync and using only Windows File Sharing, but that configuration will not let me into the remote ix4. I have also tried disabling SSL being required on external connections and that does not work either. My sense is that rsync is actually working, but I have something set wrong.
    Suggestions?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Got it solved. I need to add the remote ix4 as a trusted device to my local ix4. Eventually figured out how to do that. Copy Jobs run fine now with rsync.
    We could use better documentation.

  • IX4-300D - Drive Status "ToolTip" Not Working

    Hello,

    Hi maclark7029,
    Did the drives come with the device or did you install your own drives? It may not recognize the drives.
    What is the firmware version of your ix4-300d? It could be something with the firmware version.
    The box might not pop up right away or the first time you hover the mouse over a drive. You might have to hover longer or move the mouse away and hover over the drives again.

  • Upgrading HDs on ix4-300D

    Hi there, I have a ix4-300D with 4 x 2Tb HD on R5, I would like to know if there is a procedure to upgrade the hard drives to new ones of more capacity without loosing the actual configured raid, I mean, not needing to pivot the data, and if this procedure exists, how safe it would be. One way or another, I want to upgrade to 4 x WD60EFRX or WD50EFRX, are those drives supported ? do I need any firmware upgrade? thanks

    Hello lean296
    The WD50EFRX 5TB disks can be used on the ix4-300d, see the updated approved drive list here.  You would need to be at least running a 4.x.x firmware,  it is highly recommended to be using a 4.1.x firmware though. 
    As for the upgrade process,  you technically can replace one disk at a time an allow the unit to boot and reconstruct after every disk replacement, however this will only use your previous disk's capacity.  To be able to utilize the full capacity of the new disks you should follow this guide and backup/copy your data before begining.
