Lost access to my TRUENAS-MINI-3.0-XL+ Web GUI

TrueNAS General
1

Hi.
My 4 year old TRUENAS-MINI-3.0-XL+ stopped comunication on the LAN ports so I can’t get access to the GUI.
The LAN interfaces don’t request a IP via DHCP.
The only think I can connect to is the IPMI Web portal and basically only turn the system on and off.
When I connect a monitor to the VGA port it shows a “SHELL>” prompt with BlockDevice information shown priviusly like:
“blk1B :BlockDevice - Alias (null) PciRoot (0x0)/Pci(0x14,0x0)/Sata(0x6,0xFFFF,0x0)”
for a lot of different drives. Have screenshots

I can write HELP and get a lots of commands options but onestly don’t know what to do from here.
Please help.

It looks very much as though your boot device has died. Replace it with a small SSD, reinstall TrueNAS, upload a saved copy of your config file, and you should be good to go.

Yea. I was suspecting that.
I’ll have to figure out how to restore my configuration as I’m not sure I have a copy external to the system.
Will probably have to start over.
Du you by any chance know a good procedure to do that that might save my data on the drives.
Don’t think I’ve ever enabled encryption.

If you didn’t enable encryption, saving the data on the drives is simply a matter of importing the pool.
