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.

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
Thanks.
As I mentioned in the original post, it's administration that I need to do - and that's via RAIDar.
I already connect nicely from 3 iPads and an Android phone but it looks as though I'm stuffed for administration.
Can later versions of NAS servers and/or any version of software that can administer them run on IOS? If not, I guess IOS users without PCs can't have Netgear NAS units.

Ah, yes, I’d forgotten that I could go straight to the web interface. Doh!
Many thanks Stephen, problem solved.
