Upgrading Iomega ix2-200 to Cloud Edition

Recep Baltaş · 19 Ocak 2012

You can put links. No problem

For the media server issue, I am not that much a linux guy and I won't be able to handle it correctly. You can ask your question here: General NAS-Central Forums • View forum - StorCenter ix2-200

Or you can ask for IOmega to update the componenet via here: Iomega - Official Fan Site | Facebook

Guys,
Is there someone who can send me a partition image of the system partition of ix2-200?
If so, please, contact me on:

i have the cloud edition.....

courghan · 29 Ocak 2012

Hello, I tried reinstalling the OS (ix2-200 that was previously converted to cloud edition and on 3.2.3 fw) as i had problems with torrents after trying to install transmission.
Now, after having wiped the drives with EASEUS as advised, the unit won't flash anymore from usb. After about 5 minutes, as already described in other posts, the unit red light blinks briefly and then power cycles. I tried 3 different usb sticks, no luck, wiped the disks completely with 1 pass.
Do I need to do anything to initialize the drives before trying flashing again? Do I need to decompress the .tgz file manually?

Thanks!!

You need to clean the USB drive and use only here provided tar file

hello .. use the firmware updater software provided by iomega --- serach for link --- and create a folderstructure as described in this thread , of course you must copy the firmware of the cloud edition in the same folder as the script should be placed !

copy this script (see downwards) in an unix editor and save it as preimage.sh in folder on your usb-stick ---> \ecmtools\ix2-200d_images\preimage.sh

--------------------- here the script ---- copy in unix editor ans save as --- preimage.sh ---------- --------------------

Kod:

# /bin/sh
# This script is used to upgrade the drive firmware version
# if the drive firmware is < CC37 then this script needs to upgrade that drive
# Also the hdparm needs to be 9.28 fo this to work
##

I'm in pretty much the same situation. I have a USB drive that definitely blinked as expected (4-6 after about 60 seconds, then 2 more after 10 more, then a lot for a while), and then shutdown as expected. But after I powered it back up, I've never been able to get anywhere. I can tell from my DHCP server that it's asking for an IP, but the front LED is just blinking rapid white. I've tried reflashing it, but I never get the continuous flashing on the thumb drive again. I've tried re-pulling the drives and putting them in a dock and wiping the partitions again, but no luck. I must be missing something?

Hi All,

Trying to recover my ix2-200 Cloud edition, But using 2 320 GB disks instead. It keep blinking, no files are even extracted at my USB.
Is it allowed to use 320 GB disks?

Thx,
KAR

I dont't think that there is a limitation. But the disks must be exactly same brand and model. Also try other USB drives as some might not work...
