Re: rnd4000 readynas nv v1 third party OS

pefinaz · ‎2022-11-13

Does anyone know if there are any third party OSs That can be installed onto this NAS? I have found things like this for old Netgear routers, so I thought that someone might have done something similar for the NAS. With no more support it seems like having other options might be good. Mine still works but I had to hook up a computer power supply because the original one died.

Also, can I install the software that allows me to access the NAS setting on Windows 10 pro. I built a new PC and no longer have the original one I used to when I first got the NAS?

Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Paul, aka pefinaz

If you mean Frontview, then look here:

Given the ancient SPARC processor in that NAS, you aren't going to find anything up to date that can be installed.

Is Frontview the same as RAIDar?

Is there a certain version of RAIDar/Frontview that I need to install for my RND4000?

Do you know where I get a version of RAIDar/Frontview that works on Windows 10 pro?

Is there any documentation for installing and using RAIDar/Frontview?

Thanks

No, FrontView is the built-in GUI, at https://<IP or name of ReadyNAS>/admin. RAIDar isn't even needed at all, though it is helpful in accessing FrontView from it's buttons and getting a quick lok at status.

So I got into the NAS using the PailMoon browser using:

http:(it's address)/admin

Then I looked at all the pages I use to see.

Then I logged out and tried to log back in and was not able to get in again.

Any idea why?

Thanks,

Paul

I'm not familiar with that browser. Could it have updated between your attempts? What error message are you seeing?

BTW, you need to use https, not just http, though the NAS will normally re-direct you there.
