ReadyNAS Duo, NV+, and 1100
8. Enter the default user name and password and click the Next button.
Following are the default credentials:
• User name. admin
• Password. netgear1
They are both case-sensitive.
FrontView displays in Setup Wizard mode. The first screen displays basic information
about your ReadyNAS system.
9. In each screen, enter your information, click the Apply Next button, and click the button.
If you do not click the Apply button before you click the Next button, the changes are not
saved.
The Setup Wizard has these screens:
• Clock. Make sure the time and time zone are correct. For more information, see Set
the Time and Time Zone on page 93.
• Contacts. The ReadyNAS system can send email messages to administrators about
important events, such as when a disk is failing. Enter up to three email addresses for
the people you want to receive these messages, and then enter information for an
email account that can send these messages. The account from which the email
messages are sent does not need to be the same as one of the administrative email
addresses. For more information, see Send Alerts on page 94.
• Ethernet. Most of this information is standard and does not need to be changed in
most environments. For more information, see Set Network Settings on page 101.
• Global Settings. Change the name for the ReadyNAS system and its DNS settings.
You might want to change the name to something more descriptive. The DNS settings
are standard and do not need to be changed in most environments. For more
information, see Set Network Settings on page 101.
• Admin Password. You can change the password you need to enter before you can
use FrontView and choose a security question to answer if you want to recover that
password. If you forget the password, visit a special website, answer the security
question and provide the email address entered here. If you enter both correctly, a
new password is emailed to the email address. For more information, see Change
and Recover the Admin Password on page 38.
• Security Mode. This screen displays only if you have a ReadyNAS NV+ or 1100. You
can choose how to protect the files on your shares. NETGEAR recommends selecting
user mode, which lets you create a user account for each person who can access the
shares, and then set a user name and password for each. NETGEAR does not
recommend using share mode because it does not work with recent versions of Mac
OS X or Windows. NETGEAR does not recommend domain mode because it
requires a WIndows server or Active Directory server on your local network. For more
information, see Select a Security Mode on page 27.
• Accounts. Create user accounts for the people who access your ReadyNAS system.
For more information, see Manage Users and Groups on page 29.

To get the most out of your ReadyNAS storage system, it is helpful to understand some disk
configuration concepts. Understanding these concepts is the first step to making good
decisions about how to configure, manage, and use your ReadyNAS storage system.
You can configure your storage system’s hard disks in a variety of ways. The most common
way to configure disks is using one of the many RAID technologies.
RAID
RAID is short for redundant array of independent disks. RAID is a storage technology that
balances data protection, system performance, and storage space by determining how the
storage system distributes data. Many different ways of distributing data have been
standardized into various RAID levels. Each RAID level offers a trade-off between data
protection, system performance, and storage space. For example, one RAID level might
improve data protection but reduce storage space. Another RAID level might increase
storage space but reduce system performance.
Your ReadyNAS storage system supports X-RAID®, a proprietary single-volume RAID
architecture that is easy to administer, and Flex-RAID, which allows you to format your disks
in a variety of industry-standard RAID levels.
Volumes
In the most general sense, volumes are data storage devices. Your computer treats an
internal hard drive as a volume. It also treats a portable USB thumb drive as a volume.
Volumes can be either physical or logical. Usually, the term physical volume refers to a hard
disk drive. When this term is used in this way, a two-bay storage system can have up to two
physical volumes (hard disk drives), a four-bay storage system can have up to four physical
volumes, and a six-bay storage system can have up to six physical volumes.
The term logical volume refers to the way that you divide, or partition, your storage space, for
example:
• Each logical volume can correspond to a hard disk drive.
• A logical volume can be made up of more than one hard disk drive.
In this manual, the term refers to a and the terms and volume logical volume hard disk drive
disk physical volume refer to a .

Add a Disk
You can add a disk to your ReadyNAS system to protect yourself against disk failure or to
increase your storage space. If you add a second disk to your unit, the disks are mirrored. If
you add a third or fourth disk, one disk’s worth of capacity is used for storing disk recovery
information.
To add a disk:
1. Find a disk that is compatible with your ReadyNAS system.
A list of compatible disks is at .http://www.readynas.com/hard_disk_hcl
For best performance, use disks that are the same make, model, and size. If you use
disks of different sizes, your ReadyNAS system treats the disks as though they were all
the same size as the smallest disk. For example, if you have four disks, where three are 1
TB and one is 500 GB, it treats all the disks as if they were 500 GB and gives you only 1.5
TB of space for files.
2. Follow the instructions in your hardware manual to add a disk.
Your ReadyNAS system sends one email message to the administrator when it starts
formatting the new disk and another email message when it finishes formatting.
Depending on the size of the disks and the number of files on your system, this process
might take several hours, but you can continue to use your system as normal.
Increase Storage Space By Replacing All Disks
If all the disk bays in your ReadyNAS system are filled, you can expand your storage space
by replacing all the disks with larger ones. To avoid losing data, replace the disks one at a
time. Because replacing one disk can take several hours, the entire process can take a day
or more; however, you do not lose any files and you can use your system without interruption
during the entire process.
To increase storage space by replacing all disks:
1. Find disks that are compatible with your ReadyNAS system.
A list of compatible disks is at .http://www.readynas.com/hard_disk_hcl
For best performance, use disks that are the same make, model, and size. If you use
disks of different sizes, your system treats the disks as though they were all the same size
as the smallest disk.For example, if you have four disks, where three are 1 TB and one is
500 GB, it treats all the disks as if they were 500 GB and gives you only 1.5 TB of space
for files.
2. Follow the instructions in your hardware manual to replace a disk.
Your system sends an email message to the administrator when it starts formatting the
new disk and another email message when it finishes formatting.
3. When the disk is formatted, replace the next disk, until they are all replaced.
When the last disk is formatted, your system is available with the larger capacity.

Manage Your Storage Space with Flex-RAID
Flex-RAID lets you choose how many volumes to create, which RAID level to use, and
whether to use a disk as a hot spare. If another disk fails, the hot spare automatically
replaces it. Flex-RAID supports three industry-standard RAID levels:
• RAID 0. Uses all the space on the disks to store data, but it does not protect against disk
failure. It provides the best write performance of all the RAID levels because it stripes
data across all disks and it can write to all disks in parallel. If one disk fails, you lose all
the data. You can create a RAID 0 volume with one or more disks. Its capacity is the size
of the smallest disk in the volume multiplied by the number of disks in the volume. For
example, a four-disk RAID 0 volume yields the capacity of all four disks, assuming they
are identical in size.
• RAID 1. Offers the most protection against disk failure, because each disk in the volume
contains a full copy of the volume’s data. The data in a RAID 1 is protected as long as just
one disk is OK. Its capacity is the size of the smallest disk in the volume.
• RAID 5. Balances capacity and performance while protecting your data. RAID 5 stripes
data across three or more disks and stores parity information about each disk. If one disk
fails, RAID 5 technology uses the parity information about the remaining disks to
reconstruct the data that was on the failed disk, and the volume continues to serve data
without interruption, although it might be slower. When you replace the failed, the
reconstructed data is written to the new disk. The capacity of a RAID 5 volume is the
smallest disk in the volume multiplied by one less than the number of disks in the volume.
For example, a four-disk RAID 5 volume provides the capacity of three disks, assuming
all four disks are identical in size.
Change to Flex-RAID
Your ReadyNAS system uses X-RAID by default. To change to Flex-RAID, perform a factory
reset and choose Flex-RAID with RAIDar. Be aware that a factory reset erases all the data
and settings on your ReadyNAS system and that the process might take several hours.
To change to Flex-RAID:
1. Back up all the data and settings you want to save from your ReadyNAS system.
For information about backing up files, see on page 78. For information Back Up Files
about backing up settings, see on page 98. Back Up and Restore Settings
2. Launch RAIDar.
You will use it later to change between the two modes.
3. Perform a factory reset reboot.
For more information about how to perform a factory reset reboot, see the hardware
manual for your system.
4. In RAIDar, watch for Setup to display in your ReadyNAS system’s Info column.
It might take a few minutes for Setup to display in RAIDar.

5. From the Space reserved for snapshots drop-down list, select how much space to reserve
for a snapshot.
A snapshot is a read-only copy of the volume’s files as they were at a specific time. The
volume stores information about the changes that happened to the files after that time to
a separate area of the volume. If the amount of space needed for the changes surpasses
the area reserved, the volume stops maintaining the snapshot.
Snapshots are not supported on the Duo.
6. In the Desired volume size field, enter a size for the new volume.
You can enter size smaller than the one already listed.
7. Click the Apply button and click the Restart Now button.

Replace a Disk in a Volume
You can replace a disk in a volume if you suspect it is about to fail or if you want to increase
the volume’s capacity. If the volume is formatted to use RAID 1 or RAID 5, you can replace a
disk without losing data.And if you want to increase your volume’s capacity, you can replace
each disk in the set one at a time until they are all replaced, without losing any data. If the
volume is formatted to use RAID 0, back up your data to avoid losing it.
To replace a disk in a RAID 1 or RAID 5 volume:
1. Remove the disk from your ReadyNAS system.
You receive an email message alerting you that the disk was removed and your data is no
longer protected.
2. Insert a new compatible disk.

Use USB Storage Devices
You can connect a USB storage device, such as a disk drive or a digital camera, to any USB
port on your ReadyNAS system. You can then format it, copy its contents to your ReadyNAS
system, or let others access its contents. This section describes how to format it and copy its
contents. You let users access the device’s contents in much the same way you let users
access the contents of your ReadyNAS shares. For more information, see Store Files on
page 39.
After you set your options for a USB device and disconnect it, the options are remembered
the next time you connect the device to your ReadyNAS system.
The USB device must be formatted with one of these formats:
• FAT32
• NTFS
• EXT2
• EXT3

Manage a USB Storage Device
After you connect a USB device to your ReadyNAS, you can format it, locate it, or check its
le system.
To manage a USB storage device:
1. Connect the device to any USB port on your ReadyNAS system.
2. From the FrontView main menu, select Volumes > USB Storage.
3. From the drop-down list beside the device’s entry, select any of these options:
• Locate. Flashes the device’s LED light so you can nd it more easily.
• Check Filesystem. Checks the device’s le system for problems.
• Format FAT32. Formats the device’s le system as FAT 32, erasing any content on it.
FAT32 is recognized by most newer Windows, Linux, and Unix systems and imposes
a 4 GB limitation per le.
Format EXT3. Formats the device’s le system as EXT3, erasing any content on it.
EXT3 is recognized by Linux systems and some network storage systems, retains le
ownership information, and imposes no size limitation per le.
• Disconnect. Prepares the device for disconnection. This writes out any data in the
write cache to the device to ensure that you do not lose the data.
4. Click Go.
Automatically Copy a USB Device’s Contents
You can copy the contents of a USB storage device to your ReadyNAS system whenever you
connect the device. For example, you can copy pictures from a digital camera or music from
an MP3 player.
To avoid overwriting previously copied les, the les are copied to a folder whose name is the
date and time that the les were copied.
To set up a USB device to automatically copy its contents:
1. Connect the device to any USB port on your ReadyNAS system.
2. From the FrontView main menu, select Volumes > USB Storage.
3. In the USB Flash Device Option pane, select the When a USB flash device is detected,
automatically copy the content to check box.
4. Determine where to copy the files:
• From the Share drop-down list, select the name of the share.

Select a Security Mode
The ReadyNAS Duo supports only the user security mode.
The ReadyNAS NV+ and 1100 support up to three security modes for protecting the les on
your shares:
• Share mode. This security mode oers just two levels of security for a share: Either you
protect it with a password or you do not. If you do not password protect it, anyone can
access it. If you do password protect it, anyone with the password can access it.
NETGEAR recommends that you do not use this security mode because it is not
supported by Windows 7 or later and Mac OS X v10.6 or later. Also, it is available only on
some versions of the ReadyNAS NV+ and 1100.
• User mode. This security mode provides many more security options than the share
mode. You can create any number of users, and select how much access to give each
one: You can let the user just read les, or you can let the user read, create, and modify
les. Each user must enter a password before accessing a share.
• Domain mode. This security mode is similar to user mode, except information about
users comes from a Windows server or Active Directory server that is on your local
network.
User mode is preferred for home and small oce users because it is supported by the latest
versions of Windows and Mac OS X, provides strong security, and does not require a server.
Select a Security Mode
This procedure applies only to the ReadyNAS NV+ and 1100.
To select a security mode:
1. From the FrontView main menu, select Security > Security Mode.
2. Select either Share User Domain, , or .
3. Enter the name of the workgroup.
4. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
If you select the user mode, you then need to create accounts for the people who will use
your ReadyNAS system.

Set Up a Domain Server
If your ReadyNAS NV+ or 1100 storage system is on the same network as a Windows server
or Active Directory server, you can use the user and group information that is on the server. If
you select the Display users from trusted domains option, the user and group information
displays in the Accounts screen and you can add information that is specic to your
ReadyNAS system, as follows:
• Specify disk quotas for users and groups.
• Specify email addresses for users, so they can be notied about their disk quotas.
NETGEAR does not recommend using domain mode if the server has more than 1,000
users.
This procedure applies only to the ReadyNAS NV+ and 1100.
To set up a domain server:
1. From the Domain Type drop-down list, select ADS Domain (Active Directory server) or .
2. Enter the name of the domain.
3. If you select ADS, enter the address of the realm and the OUs (organizational units).
Specify nested OUs by separating them with commas. Enter the lowest-level OU rst.
4. (Optional) If you want your system to detect the IP address for the domain controller
automatically, in the Domain Controller pane, select Auto detect.
If auto detect fails, enter the IP address in the eld.
5. Enter the domain administrator’s name and password.
6. (Optional) To display users from the server in the Accounts screen, select the Display users
from trusted domains check box.
If you have a large number of users, you might want to clear this check box to avoid
slowing FrontView when it displays the Accounts screen.
7. Click the Apply button.

Manage Users and Groups
If you selected the user security mode, you can set up user accounts. Create a user account
for each person who accesses your ReadyNAS system. When you create a share, use these
accounts to specify who can access its les.
To manage large numbers of users more efficiently, create groups. A group can contain any
number of users, and a user can belong to as many groups as you want. If you frequently
give the same list of users the same access rights to dierent shares, create a group that is
made up of those users.
Each user has a private home share where he or she can store personal les. Unlike a public
share, a private home share has the same name as the user name for the account and can
be accessed only by that user and by the ReadyNAS system’s administrator. You can disable
private home shares if you want to use only public shares.
Manage Users
With FrontView, you can add new users, modify existing users, and choose how to handle
the users’ private home shares.
Add Users
In the Add User screen, you can add up to ve users at a time.
To add users:
1. From the FrontView main menu, select Security > User & Group Accounts.
2. Click the Add User tab.
3. For each user, follow these steps:
a. Enter the name for the user.
This is also the name for the user’s private home share.
b. (Optional) If you want the user to receive notications, enter the user’s email
address.
The user is notied when the account is created and when the user’s data quota is
approached.
c. (Optional) If you want to specify a specic user ID (UID), enter the UID.
You need to know the UID if you plan to connect to the user’s private home share
over NFS. If you do not enter a UID, one is automatically generated.
d. Select the user’s primary group.
You can add the user to other groups in the Manage Groups screen. For more
information, see Manage Groups on page 34.
