My NAS appliance (a FreeNAS MINI) wasn't responding today. (users couldn't access their network shares)
Server IP addresses are assigned by DHCP. I access by host names.
I tried restarting the NAS, but that didn't help. Connecting a monitor (and keyboard) displays nothing during a reboot.
So, I tried connecting to the admin page, but the entire server wouldn't respond (it was responding yesterday or the day before) (the problem was DNS didn't resolve)
I connected to it via IPMI, and I noticed that it was running hot (93), so I shut it down, and cleaned it out (it had some dust from sitting in the corner).
But it still won't start back up. I can connect to IPMI, and now there isn't a CPU temperature (ASRock Rack is the IPMI UI), but all of the sensor monitors are green on the dashboard.
So right now, I'm not sure what to do next, there's a few logs in the IPMI. There's also Java access to the consoles, but I don't believe there's a secure way of running Java access? (Or is there?)
[Edited: Added information about restarting the NAS, and connecting monitor, thanks joeschmuck!]
