Subject: [cobalt-users] Seagate NasRaq

I understand that Seagate's NasRaq is comparable to Cobalt's Nasraq 1.I
have a Seagate Nasraq that appears to have file corruption on it and is
reporting huge files on shares that don't exist. I'm not a Linux person
at all, but I need to some how restore the Cobalt OS on this device.
There are no CD's or disk with this device. I know that this is probably
not the best group for this question, but Seagate's Nas group vanished
apparently. Can anyone suggest anything. I am at the point of pulling
the 2 30 gig drives and putting them in a windows box to replace this
nas.

Hi Bruce,

Wow, I had forgotten that these things still existed. :)

To download the OS Restore CD, you can go to Sun's website at
http://wwws.sun.com/software/download/operating_sys.html. Click on the
"Sun Cobalt Server OS Restore Software" heading. You'll have to register
with Sun if you haven't already, but that's relatively painless.

The file is an ISO, which you can burn onto a CD. You can then use this
to boot your NasRaQ off the network by following the instructions on the
CD. (Someone on this list may have generic instructions for using an OS
Restore CD, as well.)

The NasRaQ and RaQ2 share the same architecture, so you can also restore
to a RaQ2, but you may lose the RAID capability. If you're already using
it for storage, you probably just want to continue using the NasRaQ
image.
