Can't install RAIDar (on G5 w/Leopard)

Postby NAS-t » Tue Oct 18, 2011 8:35 am

The RAIDar 4.3.3 installer fails to install on my G5 Tower (w/10.5.8), complaining that no Java 1.6+ is available.
According to Apple, the latest Java release for Leopard is Java SE 5.0 (V 1.5.0_30-b03). Apple's documentation indicates that Java SE 6 requires an Intel 64-bit CPU. Needless to say, the G5 has neither 64-bit architecture, nor Intel CPU.

Where can I find an older version of RaidAR that will run against Java SE 5? And will it still work with ReadyNASes using 4.1.8?

Thanks.

Bump.
Somebody out there must have an older version of RAIDar that is compatible with Leopard (PPC, Java 5.0)???
Thanks.

Had same problem you did. Took me some time to go through the archive articles to finally find a link to an older version. This is the first one I came across and it works. Have not bothered to look for a later version.

@old-school,
Thanks a lot for the link. Your searching skills are better than mine! I looked and looked and didn't come across the archived article you discovered.
Happy New Year.
