1.1.3 System Protection
The DNS-3200 is designed for network file services and meets industrial
standards, such as hardware RAID and Web interface remote management for successful upgrading and increased stability and reliability of
the system.
To aid system reliability, the DNS-3200 operating system is configured
with RAID 1N technology when released from the factory, where the first
10 GB of hard disk space is kept for Mirroring and the operating system
is installed in that area. If several hard disks experience problems, the
user may still turn on the operating system. The user may also use the
Mirror Split to divide the operating system that has been installed,
enabling a dual operating system mode. If the primary operating system is
damaged and not available, the backup system will boot the unit for service while the damaged operating system can be repaired.
Note: For details on installation of the dual operating
system and repairs of the operating system,
please refer to System Protection and Repairs.
As for protection of the data split area, the DNS-3200 is available with a
logical region of the hard disk excluded from the space for the operating
system. The operating system uses RAID 5 technology when released
3 Chapter 1
from the factory. In that mode, when a hard disk is damaged, the data
remains accessible as usual.
Each and every DNS-3200 is available with a SATA hot plug hard disk
when released from the factory plus 2 logically split areas. Data in the
split areas are available in the following tables and figures.
Note: Default layouts may vary depending on the num-
ber of hard disks.
