Configuration utility

Is there a utility or app that will enumerate the current configuration for a ReadyNAS system?

 

In particular I am looking for RAM (size and type) and installed processor designation.

    You can get that info yourself with ssh, or you can download the full log zip file, and look in there.

     

    What model NAS do you own?

      We have a mixture of 314, 424, and 626 units in multiple locations.  Some may have been upgraded.  It seems time to do an inventory census since complaints of slow performace are starting to be heard.

       

      I was hoping that there would be a GUI utility instead of a command line interface with SSH.

        Thanks again for resonding -- here is more info.

         

        I certainly can use SSH to get the info.  That said, we try and have the individuals responsible for the system at each site not be techies -- their job is to help make and sell wigidts.

         

        That is why I was looking for a GUI based utility. 

         

        A complicating factor is the PuTTY logon -- I have found no effective way to  paste the system password into the PuTTY logon window.  Our passwords are in excess of 20 characters with many special characters -- essentially impossible to accurately type in for most mere mortals.  Accordingly we will have to have a 'special' account allowed SSH access and turn it on/off each time we use it.  Doable but not as good as I would have liked.
