Running RAIDar 4.x (or 6.x) on an iPad Pro (IOS 11.4)
I have a ReadyNas duo (V1) with paired 500Gb disks. It's running very nicely even though it's well over 5 years old.
At the moment I administer it via RAIDar v 4,1,x on a Windows 10 laptop.
The problem is tham I'm shortly moving to an iPad Pro with bluetooth keyboard and ditching the laptop. I can't see how to get Raidar 4.x (or later) on and working from my iPad (IOS 11.4).
Am I being thick or can it not be done?
Thanks in advance,
Nigel
You aren't missing much.
All normal administration tasks can be done from the web ui ( https://nas-ip-address/admin ). The only things you can't do are
- set up flexraid after a factory default procedure
- discover your NAS IP address, show the currently running firmware, and error status information (no disks, corrupted root).
If you use DHCP, you should be able to find your NAS using your router's attached devices list. Just note your ReadyNAS mac address
The error status information is also available by looking at the NAS leds:
LED blink behavior for 2 disk systems is three quick blinks of all disk LEDs and the backup LED, followed by a 1 second delay, followed by a number of slow blinks. The number of slow blinks will be the error code.
Current error codes:
1 – Vendor mismatch
2 – No disks detected
3 – Bad contents on root partition of disks
4 – Flash error
5 – Unsupported RAID configuration

Err thanks, I think?
I get a dmg file that I can't do anything with if I select the MACOS option for 6.x and 4.x so I'm no further forward.
Are any of the RAIDar versions actually runnable on an iPad? Can people who only have iPad and iPhones actually use these types of NAS devices?

There is no version of RAIDar available for iOS or Android - but you don't need RAIDar to access your NAS. So maybe step back and tell us more about what how you want to use the NAS.
You'll need some SMB file manager for iOS (there are a few in the app store), and possibly a DLNA player (maybe one for audio and one for video).
