At the furthest bottom is the status bar with the date button which doubles its duty as a clock and a
link to the Clock page. The status LEDs to the right gives a quick glimpse of the system device
status.
The statuses represent:
Not present
– No disk or device attached.
Normal
– Device in normal operating mode. If the LED is blinking, this disk is currently
re-syncing. During the re-sync process, the performance is temporarily in a “degraded”
mode and another disk failure in the volume will render it dead.
Warning or Dead
– The device has failed or requires attention.
Inactive spare
– This disk is a “hot spare” on standby. When a disk fails, this disk will
take over automatically.
Awaiting re-sync
– This disk is waiting to re-sync to the RAID volume.
Life support mode
– The volume has encountered multiple disk failures and is in the state
of being marked dead. However, the ReadyNAS has blocked it from being marked dead in
the event that someone may have accidentally pulled out the wrong disk during runtime. If
the wrong disk was pulled out, shutdown the ReadyNAS immediately, reconnect the disk,
and power-on the ReadyNAS. If you reconnect the disk during runtime, the ReadyNAS
will mark it as a newly added disk and you will no longer be able to access the data on it.
Background task active
– A lengthy background task such as a system update is in
progress.
Move the mouse cursor over the LED to display more information on the device, or click on it to
display the status in more detail.
Right above the status bar is the action bar. To the left is the Logout button. Due to security
reasons, the Logout button only acts as a reminder to close the current browser session which is
necessary to securely log out. To the right is the Apply button. Use this to save any changes in the
current menu page.
