ReadyNAS RAIDar

1.   Introduction
2.   Installing RAIDar

Introduction

RAIDar is used to discover ReadyNAS devices on the network and start the ReadyNAS web-based configuration utility.

Installing RAIDar

We need to expressly tell the RAIDar installer script to use 'bash' on Ubuntu and because the Java based GUI installer is not compatible with Compiz we will must use the console ( '-c' ) based installer. Fortunately the installed RAIDar application is compatible with Compiz.

 wget -c http://www.readynas.com/download/RAIDar/RAIDar_Linux_4_01c1-p1.sh
 chmod 755 RAIDar_Linux_4_01c1-p1.sh
 sudo bash ./RAIDar_Linux_4_01c1-p1.sh -c

I have only documented the prompts you need to answer.

 I found the following supported browsers:
 1. firefox
 2. opera
