Mounting ReadyNAS drives in a virtual NAS for data access and recovery
In a previous post (Mounting-ReadyNAS-drives-in-a-virtual-NAS-for-data-access-and-recovery ), I discussed using a VirtualBox virtual ReadyNAS for recovering data from a failed ReadyNAS. With no new R...
FWIW, I have an older version of VMWare Workstation (V 15.5.7). I had no issues importing the OS6 image and creating the VM. I was able to add additional virtual drives too. The "fixes" for the apps work OK too. Overall, looks good and seem to work just fine.
I had issues with the ReadyNAS_RAIDiator_Recovery.OVA. VMWare complained the image did not pass OVF specification conformance (image posted below). When I clicked "retry", it created the VM and booted. Raidar was able to find it. When I went to the admin page and logged in, the ReadyNAS window appeared but was blank (image posted below). I didn't mess around it further.
Not a big deal, it worked just fine in VirtualBox. Just wanted to let everyone know.
Nice work Sandshark!!
