Hi all,
I’ve dug out of the garage two old TS412 NAS boxes. They seem to work, but the hard drives in them have failed. Q-finder sees them and I’d like to get them up and running, but they want new firmware installed. They currently tell me they have 4.0.5 (20131126). I’ve tried putting newer firmware on, but it fails. I’m guessing that it needs the older stuff first, and progressively update. However I can’t find any old firmware anywhere. These aren’t going to connect to the internet, they’ll just be on the local network as a short term temporary backup solution. Can anyone help?
I have managed to install 4.3.3 on one of them using q-finder, and I’m able to get that running, though that’s the latest firmware this hardware will run. The other one, just keeps failing at the moment. I’ll buy some different drives and see if that makes any difference.
Thanks. I just think that they are just old and have too many issues. I’m going to replace them anyway. I just wanted make sure that the TS412s work first.
That’s fine, so do I.
But as you have already installed the latest and last available firmware, my question still stands what ‘newer’ firmware you are trying to install (as it does not exist)
Thanks. I’m not after newer firmware. I’m after older firmware.
For some reason on this one 412, upgrading to 4.3.3 keeps failing. The second 412 I have, upgraded fine and is working ok. However, this one, which is identical keeps failing, either when I download 4.3.3 manually and try, or when I let q-finder do it. I’m looking for 4.0.5 which is what I have on there already, to see if I can kick it into life and then get it to 4.3.3 from there.
Hmmm. I think I’ve found the issue. I can’t ssh into the box. it says it’s unable to negotiate and there’s no matching host key found. Their offer: ssh-rsa.
Though I don’t ever remember setting up an encryption key on this box.
