My DroboPro just started acting up. It will not mount at all now. All the lights come on during startup, like they always did. But, after just a couple minutes, all lights go off except the power light, and it is bright yellow/orange. The activity light is on it seems, but it is a dull orange (if it is on at all.) None of the drive lights are on, nor are any capacity lights on.
I never see any evidence of the Drobo mounting. Dashboard never sees it. I am connecting through iSCSI to a Mac Server. I have turned the unit off, reseated all the drives, left power off, etc. Anything that I’ve read on here I’ve tried, but I might have missed something.
I haven’t, but I will do that. With or without drives in?[hr]
I did this with the drives in. Everything seemed to be normal in startup. All the drive lights were green. The power light was bright green and the activity light a dull green. It went to two blue capacity lights being lit. Then, everything went out and the power light came on a bright orange/yellow and the activity light a dull orange. That was with the iSCSI disconnect and nothing else connected except power.
Sounds like DroboPro isn’t detecting a data connection and going to sleep.
Being that iSCSI has lots of dependencies (a change of IP address or subnet can break the TCP/IP part of the iSCSI connection), I recommend disconnecting the network cable and connect via USB.
If it mounts via USB you can proceed with checking the IP configuration and trying to reestablish the iSCSI mount.
