Creating an instance of Raidiator 6.10.8 as a virtual machine?
Is there a way to create an instance of Raidiator 6.10.8 as a VM? I want to be able to use Parallels on my mac with an install of of 6.10.8 so I can test software installs without risk. I tried just downloading the .img files and Parallels doesn't like them. Has anyone got this working? If so, do you have an image file you can share?
Thanks!

Once you get it running, you can update to OS 6.10.8 just as you would a real NAS.

Excellent, thank you!
I wasn't able to get this working via Virtual Box, VMware or Parallels.
On VMware I loaded the .vmdk and start it, but get:>>Start PXE over IPv4.
PXE-E16: No valid offer received.
>>Start PXE over PVv6
Then it produces the attachment.
Looks like it's trying to network boot?
The Virtual Box gives this error:
28.2241331 MMI Watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 23s! swapper/0Any ideas?
t sounds like you failed to attach the boot drive, which emulates the internal flash of a real ReadyNAS, to the VM per the instructions in that article.
Okay, I'm fairly confident at this point I have the VM configured correctly, perhaps it's the .vmdk image? I tried the 6.2.4 image as well with the same result. I see you used a different image ending in "flash". Does anyone have an alternate image I could try?
Thanks all for helping!
Okay, finally.... I tried setting this up on my Windows 11 AMD machine... It worked (after I enabled virtualization in the BIOS)...
Now I'm stuck at a login screen... I've tried:
login: admin
password: password
login: adminpassword: netgear1
Neither worked. Any ideas?I think my problems running this on the Mac M1 was using a beta version of the ARM Virtualbox... Something isn't ready for prime time.

Default admin password for OS-6 is password.
Is the system booting from the OS partition (which is on the RAID disks, not the flash)?
