Sorry in advance to ask such a newbish question (our FAS3050 was donated to us with no documentation)...
Our FAS3050 has a faulty power supply on one of the disk shelves. We've had it running regardless for about a month now and have been storing non-critical data on it. Something happened over the weekend that caused the NAS to no longer boot. When I console into the NAS and attempt to boot normally, I can see that the last message is about the power supply failing on that disk shelf and "Replaying WAFL log" immediately before that (on the LCD readout on the controller, as well). I've pasted the latest log below. I've run diagnostics, and the NVRAM appears to be functioning in spite of the odd time code.
Anyway, I'm wondering if it is possible for me to simply "bypass" the faulty shelf (since it is unlikely that we will ever have the money to obtain a new power supply) by re-cabling the NAS. If I do that, will have to rebuild the entire array? Won't that cause me to lose all the data on the NAS? I'd like to avoid losing any data if I could, but if there's no other way I'm willing to do what I have to do?
Or is there something else going on that I'm not aware of?
I'd appreciate any help, or just someone to point me in the right direction where I can do some RTFM'ing.
