#REPLACE HARD DRIVE IOMEGA STORCENTER IX2 200 UPGRADE#

First login to the IX2-200 via the normal admin page.

In order to get to the linux shell we need to enable SSH on the IX2, this is a fairly simple task that is done from the web interface. Please note if you dont already have SSH enabled you will need to do the next part before trying to upload the xfs_fsr utility to your IX2. After downloading it use something like WinSCP to transfer it to the root directory of your IX2 and when needed, you can run it by typing. Since you may not have a cloud IX2 available to you I have tar’ed the file that is missing and you can download it HERE. The cloud IX2 is the one that includes the XFS defrag utilities, however I found that all i needed to do was use SFTP to copy the utility over to the non cloud IX2 and it ran fine there as well.

I should make a note that even though my IX2-200’s are both the non-cloud versions, I did have a friend upgrade one of them to the cloud version’s firmware. Note for IX2’s that are not the “Cloud” version

Much to my surprise, the utilities to do so were already installed and ready to run on one of my two IX2-200’s. Unfortunately because they only have two drives in them they have always been fairly slow, but in an effort to squeeze as much performance out of them as possible I decided to see if the main XFS file system could be defragmented. I have two Iomega IX2-200 NAS devices, they do a great job of storing my media as well as providing some iSCSI and NFS storage for my VMware lab.
