A couple of days ago, a costumer called me to tell me his storage wasn’t reachable anymore. The status on the lcd screen was giving a loading bar and got stuck at some point. He has a iOmega Storcenter ix4, I told him to do the basic things:
Iomega IX2-200 NAS drive not available in Windows 10 Explorer I have been looking on the web for Windows 10 drivers for my iomega ix2-200 (2TB) drive for weeks, but all I get are sites offering 'free' software to check drivers and then I need to get my credit card out to really make those tools work, even found some scams which install. How to download and update firmware iomega storcenter ix2 200 firmware Download digital photo Cameras firmware: most of the camera s internal parts including lenses, autofocus, LCD screens etc. Are controlled by microprocessors. Microprocessors are controlled by firmware that enables the device to do the job it was purchased for.
It should be like this: X:emctoolsix2-200dimages (For some, the folder name needs to be “ix2-200images”.) Now copy the ix2-200 Cloud Edition Firmware (ix2-boot.tgz) you have downloaded into “ix2-200dimages” folder. The Upgrade Update: You have to do this process twice! We had to! Plug the USB stick you have prepared into ix2-200. Yes, I did this yesterday and can confirm that it does work. I moved from ix2-200 firmware 2.1.38.xxxxx to the very latest firmware for the ix2-200 Cloud edition, 3.1.12.47838. One caveat that I didn't see listed: backup all of your data before you perform this. I tested on both drives in a few different methods.

- reboot the device
- disconnect all the cables and reconnect it, then try to boot the device
Nothing helped … customer in panic so there went my evening.
Went over there and retried the basic stuff myself (no joy).
After a while trying some different angles nothing seemed to work, so i took it home with me.
After a sleepless night surfing, searching, trying stuff out ….
I found the solution, with no data loss non the less.
Iomega Storcenter Ix2 Dl Software
To unbrick it you need a linux computer, the images folder of a working ix4 and some luck 😛
The raid configured on the iOmega Storcenter is a linux software raid.
This means we can hookup the disks to a linux system and (if the dependencies are installed) see the raid, mount it and repair the boot mirrored partitions for the iOmega Storcenter.
This solution only works if the iOmega Storcenter ix4 doesn’t boot completly!
The following steps will explain how it is done:
Iomega Storcenter Ix2 Download
- Connect disks to a working Linux pc
- Find the raid with the following command mdadm –assemble –scan –verbose
this will search for software raid configurations on the disks - Do a scan for volume groups (vgscan)
- Do a scan for physical volumes (pvscan)
- If logical volume is inactive, activate it (vgchange <name volume group> -a y)
- Do a scan for physical volumes (pvscan), to check if the volume is ACTIVE
- Mount the volume (mount <volume path> <mount path>)
- Open the path to the config raid (raid1-with iOmega config files) and restore the images folder
- Shutdown the linux pc
- Insert the disks back to the iomega device and boot it
- Reconfigure the iOmega to the proper configuration (if you lost some configuration)
