ReadyNas Duo V2 - Constantly Blinking Blue LED and Windows 11 RAIDar Installation Issues
Hi all - hope you can help me with trying to sort my ReadyNas Duo V2. I can see the NAS in Windows Explorer fine but the blinking LED is worrying me. Logging in via Firefox does not reveal any...
The problem is that you need an old version of java - which is a pain.
This runtime binary will work:
Note you can also get the runtime sdk from Oracle, but you need to create an Oracle account to download it.
This is in the second section (titled "Java SE Runtime Environment 8u202"). It appears to be a bit older than the first link (which is version 221) - no idea why that is the caes.
If you ever uninstall this stuff, you need to uninstall RAIDar first, as the uninstall will fail if it can't find the java runtime.

Can you confirm that you are running 5.3.x firmware?
If you are running 4.1.x firmware, then you have the original Duo (called a v1 here).

Which LED?

Also I am trying to get ready to start over with this NAS and put it to a different use. So I have downloaded RAIDar 6.5.0.
If you are planning to stick with XRAID, then there is no need to bother with RAIDar.
