Installing Raidar On Linux; Detecting Your Readynas Device - NETGEAR RND4000 - ReadyNAS NV+ NAS Server Setup Manual

Installing RAIDar on Linux

Log in as root. Load the Installation CD, open the Linux RAIDar setup folder, and double-click on
Setup_Linux.sh to start the installation.
If you have problems running RAIDar under Linux:
• To discover the IP address of ReadyNAS, open a terminal session and type nmblookup -R
VOLUME. If you have a ReadyNAS with an LCD (such as the ReadyNAS NV+), press the
power button once to display the IP address.
• To connect to the FrontView Setup Wizard, open a browser, and use the returned IP address to
enter http://<ipaddr>/admin. Then, go to Step 2
page 2.
• If you already have an existing workgroup or domain in your environment, ReadyNAS will try
to locate that name. If VOLUME does not work, try using the workgroup/domain name used
on your network in the nmblookup command.

Detecting Your ReadyNAS Device

Before using the RAIDar utility to detect your device, power on ReadyNAS and wait for it to boot
up (approximately 2 minutes).
If you are connecting a PC directly to ReadyNAS (and not through a network), first set
a static IP address on your PC in the 192.168.168.xxx subnet, subnet mask
255.255.255.0. You can then use RAIDar to detect ReadyNAS, or open a browser and
enter the ReadyNAS default IP Address of https://192.168.168.168/admin.
To detect your ReadyNAS device:
1. Invoke RAIDar by clicking on the RAIDar icon on your desktop. Your ReadyNAS device will
be detected when the device has successfully booted and has started a network connection. If
you have multiple ReadyNAS devices on your network, match the MAC Address of the
system to the address listed on the back of your ReadyNAS device.
