Documenting the NAS box and related setup procedures

[hamishmb]

Yeah, that sounds good I'll have a go this afternoon. We may end up re-ordering them a bit anyway to make it all make sense at the end, but sounds like a plan.

I can't figure out how you're doing the section numbers either :/

If you put your cursor in the heading that you want to configure you can then select the Paragraph Style that you want in the box at the Top left of the page. For some reason LibreOffice doesn't offer them all, but if you select 'Heading 3' you can change that to 'Heading 5' (say) by typing in the box.

Hamish,

In the original instructions at viewtopic.php?p=2247#p2247, you say 'import the OVF file. As I understand it, this is a VMWare format, so does the machine have to run VMWare for this to work?

Also, you subsequently talk about a Ubuntu 14.04 VM. What is the OVF File going to create, because it looks like you need two VMs to do this?

[hamishmb]

Made a typo - it should have said "import the OVA file". The OVA file contains the Ubuntu 14.04 VM. The rest of the instructions are about re-creating the sat up in that VM.

OVA/OVF can be used with VMWare or VirtualBox (and potentially many other virtualisation solutions). I used VirtualBox.

OK. Thanks.

I'm working on the hardware refurb this afternoon, so I'll look at this again tomorrow.

Okay. Do you know what the default IP address is for the NAS box? I haven't been able to find it anywhere.

[TerryJC]

It's in Table 2 of the Software Design Spec - 192.168.0.25.

[hamishmb]

So it's 192.168.0.25 after a factory reset as well?
