Chapter 3 Changing RAID Modes

RAID Arrays

TS-XL, TS-XEL and TS-RXL series TeraStations default to RAID 5 mode (4 hard drives), TS-WXL/R1 series default to RAID 1 mode, and TS-WXL/1D series default to Normal mode. The characteristics of each type of RAID are described below. If you change the RAID mode, all of the data on the hard drive is deleted. Always back up any important data before changing the RAID mode.

Note:

• In this document, “recovery” means putting the TeraStation back to the state it was in before the malfunction

happened. It does not mean reading data from failed hard drives.

• RAID 5 mode (4 hard drives) (Default for TS-XL, TS-XEL and TS-RXL)

Note:

TS-WXL/R1 and TS-WXL/1D TeraStations don’t support this mode, as they don’t have 4 hard drives.

Uses 4 hard drives as one array. It generates parity during writes, so access speeds are slower than other RAID modes. Usable space is the sum of 3 hard drives’ space. If one hard drive in the array is damaged, you can recover data by replacing the hard drive. You cannot recover data if 2 or more drives are damaged.

• RAID 5 mode (3 hard drives)

Note:

TS-WXL/R1 and TS-WXL/1D TeraStations don’t support this mode, as they don’t have 3 hard drives.

Uses 3 hard drives as one array. It generates parity during writes, so access speeds are slower than other RAID modes. Usable space is the sum of 2 hard drives’ space. You can designate a 4th drive as a hot spare, which will boot automatically if one of the drives in the array fails. If one hard drive in the array is damaged, you can recover data by replacing the hard drive. You cannot recover data if 2 or more drives are damaged.

• RAID 10 mode

Note:

TS-WXL/R1 and TS-WXL/1D TeraStations don’t support this mode, as they don’t have 4 hard drives

RAID 10 combines 4 hard drives into a single array. Usable space is the sum of the capacity of 2 hard drives. Data is written quickly and access speed is faster than other RAID modes except for RAID 0. Since the same data is written to 2

hard drives at the same time, if drive in a pair (1-2 or 3-4) is damaged, data can be recovered by replacing the damaged hard drive. If both 1-2 or 3-4 hard drives are damaged, you cannot recover data.

TeraStation User Manual 9

TeraStation User Manual 10

• RAID 1 mode (Default for TS-WXL/R1)

Uses 2 hard drives as one array. You can use up to 2 arrays on TS-XL, TS-XEL and TS-RXL Series. The space you can use is 1 hard drive’s space for each array. The same data is written to 2 drives at once. If a drive is damaged, data can be recovered by replacing the damaged hard disk. If both drives in an array are damaged, data cannot be restored. You can create an array and designate another drive as a hot spare (which will boot automatically when one of the hard drive fails) in TS-XL and TS-RXL TeraStations. You can use 2 drives to create a RAID 1 array, use anther drive as a hot spare, and use another as a regular drive, all at once.

• RAID 0 mode

This mode uses multiple hard drives as a single array. The disk space you can use is the total space of all hard drives used. This is the fastest of the TeraStation’s RAID modes. If any hard disks are damaged, you cannot recover data.

• Normal Mode (Default for TS-WXL/1D)

This mode uses the hard drives inside the TeraStation as individual hard disks. It is sometimes referred to as JBOD. The

disk space you can use is the total space of all hard drives in the TeraStation. If a hard disk is damaged, you cannot recover data from that drive.

Note:

During a recovery, the TeraStation’s front LED display shows “RAID ARRAY* Resyncing” and le transfer speeds are

slower than usual until the RAID array is rebuilt.

TeraStation User Manual 26

Backup Notes:

Subfolders may be selected, but not subfolders of subfolders. Folders with more than 80 characters in their total path •

may not be selected.

Before they can be selected as backup target folders, folders on other TeraStations must be congured as backup •

destinations. To use a folder on an external hard drive as a backup target, you should format it with XFS, FAT or EXT3.•

If you are using PC Power Management, your system will automatically boot 15 minutes before the backup job begins.• If your PC enters sleep mode just before a scheduled backup, the backup job may not have time to reboot the system •

before the backup job begins. If this happens, the backup job may fail.

S• ource and target TeraStations should be congured with similar jumbo-frame settings. If you are experiencing problems backing up one TeraStation to another, try setting the frame size for both to the default (1518 bytes).

If you change formatting or RAID array settings, previously created backup jobs may no longer run correctly. Delete • the old backup jobs and create new backup jobs for the new share(s).

Backups on EXT3 formatted USB disks can be read from a Windows PC with the provided Bualo EXT3 reader software.•

TeraStation User Manual 27

Restrictions regarding to Backup

When performing backup to USB hard disk (FAT32 format) with Overwrite Backup (Dierential) option, it may •

overwrite even though there are no dierence in data. This is because of the specication of FAT 32. If the second of the date when the le created is an odd number, Overwriting backup is performed every time regardless of the dierences in data.

If you are using Jumbo Frame and backup data on TeraStation/TeraStation to another TeraStation/TeraStation, set • the Ethernet frame size of those 2 TeraStation/TeraStation to the closest value. If Ethernet frame sizes of these are

signicantly dierent, the backup job may not be properly performed. In such a case, select the default frame size

(1518 bytes). When backing up data by using TeraStation’s Web Admin screen, if a le name or folder name to backup contains 2 •

bytes characters, a le/folder name of a log le may not be output correctly. If you change settings for formatting or RAID array after setting for backup, you must change the settings for backup. •

If there is no shared folder at the destination, an error message will be displayed.

TeraStation User Manual 28

Replication

Replication will mirror data on your TeraStation to a second TeraStation. An exact duplicate of a data share on the rst TeraStation is copied to the second TeraStation virtually simultaneously. To congure Replication, use an Ethernet cable to connect LAN port 2 on the rst TeraStation to LAN Port 2 on the second TeraStation. The rst TeraStation should be connected to the local Network by LAN Port 1.

Notes:

• If the rst TeraStation goes down, you can switch to the second TeraStation by moving the main Ethernet cable from

the rst TeraStation to the second TeraStation’s LAN Port 1.

• Replication copies data only, not users or settings. To back up users, groups, and passwords from a TeraStation, use the

NS-SHFT utility.

• If a backup password is set for a share, then that share cannot be selected as a backup target for replication.

• Replication copies data from the source folder to a target folder. Please note that any data in the target folder that is

not in the backup source folder will be deleted.

Only folders on TeraStations which support Replication (TS-XL, TS-XEL, TS-WXL, TS-RXL, TS-HTGL, TS-RHTGL. etc.) can

be selected as replication source folders or target folders.

Up to 64 shares can be selected for replication.

• Only data written by SMB and CIFS (Windows) and AFP, NFS, SFTP, FTP, and FTPS (Apple) can be mirrored by

replication.

• Replication transfers les asynchronously. It may take time to transfer les depending on the network environment or

status of the TeraStation.

• Replication will retry le transfers if they fail because of a network problem. If the retry fails, the TeraStation’s Error LED

will light and an alarm will sound. To repair, x the network problem, then, in the TeraStation’s Web Admin, navigate

to [System] - [Backup] - [Replication] and click [Resynchronize].

• Do not set multiple Backup Targets for one Backup Source. Multiple transfer processes for Replications will run, and

system performance will be adversely aected.

• Do not replicate a share that is the target of Time Machine backups by Mac OS X.

• System performance may be degraded if Mac OS X writes to the replication source folder with an AFP connection. If this occurs, connect via SMB for better performance.

• When replicating to a USB drive, a folder which has the same name as the backup source will be created on the USB drive. If the same folder name already exists on the USB drive, any les in that folder will be deleted.

• External hard drives formatted with FAT 16 or FAT 32 should not be used with replication. For best results with the TeraStation, format your external USB hard drives with XFS or EXT3.

Technical Restrictions

Windows does not support some characters that OS X and the TeraStation allow. So, if you create a lename on a Mac • with any of the following characters, it will not display correctly on a Windows computer. With Mac OS X 10.2 or later, you may have to connect to the TeraStation via AFP in order to display or copy any of the following characters: ? [ ] / ¥ = + < > ; : ” , | *

Do not use any of the following words as a Username or Group Name: root, bin, daemon, sys, adm, tty, disk, lp, sync, •

shutdown, halt, operator, nobody, mail, news, uucp, ftp, kmem, utmp, shadow, users, nogroup, all, none, hdusers, admin, guest, man, www, sshd, administrator, ftpuser, apache, mysql.

Do not use any of the following words as a shared folder name: info, spool, usbdisk1, usbdisk2, usbdisk3, usbdisk4, • lost+found, global, printers, homes, lp, auth, ram, disk1, disk2, disk3, disk4, array1, array2.

When using 2-byte characters (such as Japanese), make folder and le names with 80 characters or less. Total • pathlength is limited to 1024 bytes (512 two-byte characters). You may not be able to copy a folder or le whose name is more than 80 two-byte characters long, or whose pathname is more than 1024 bytes total.

You cannot set hidden or read-only attributes to folders or les on a TeraStation from Windows. To set an attribute • for a share on the TeraStation, use the TeraStation’s Web Admin. In [Shared Folders] - [Folder Setup], click the shared folder you want to congure. Select [Read Only] or [Read & Write] from [Shared Folder Attributes], and [Hide Share] from [Folder Mode (SMB Only)].

If local characters aren’t displayed properly in a Shared Folder or Workgroup name, use alphabetical character. •

If you access a shared folder from a Macintosh computer, information les for Macintosh may be automatically • generated. Do not delete these les from a Windows computer. Otherwise, you may no longer access folders from Macintosh.

A volume name mounted by Finder from Mac OS X 10.3.9 may be corrupted when connected via SMB. File names •

and data should be ne.

On Mac OS X 10.5 - 10.5.6, you cannot search by Spotlight while connected via AFP. In such a case, use SMB • connection or use Mac OS X 10.5.7 or later.

TeraStation belongs to the default zone specied by an AppleShare Server. You cannot specify a zone. •

Date and Time stamp information stored on a TeraStation’s hard disk or a USB hard disk connected to the TeraStation •

The default NTP Server (ntp.jst.mfeed.ad.jp) belongs to Internet Multi Feed Inc. For more information, please visit www.jst.mfeed.ad.jp. Use NTP at your own risk. Bualo Technology is not responsible for any loss or damage caused by using

of this service, stopping the service, or missing service.

You’ve completed hostname and time settings for the TeraStation.

Note:

The TeraStation’s internal clock may run at a slightly dierent speed from other clocks on you network, and over a long

period of time your network devices may show dierent times. If clocks on your network vary by more than 5 minutes

it may cause unexpected behavior. For best results, keep all clocks on the network set to the same time by adjusting

them regularly, or use an NTP server to correct them all automatically.

Notes:

• To benet from using jumbo frames in the TeraStation, your router/switch/hub should support jumbo frames.

• To use jumbo frames (4102/7422/9694 bytes), your computer’s NICs and all switches, hubs, and routers on the transmission route need to support jumbo frames. If any device on the route doesn’t support jumbo frames, use

standard transmission (1518 bytes) instead.

• If you are using jumbo frames and back up data from a TeraStation/TeraStation to another TeraStation/TeraStation, set

the Ethernet frame sizes of the TeraStations/TeraStations to the same settings (or the closest available). If the Ethernet

frame sizes are signicantly dierent, the backup job may fail. If you have problems with backup jobs, select the

DFS (Distributed File System)

Distributed File System (or DFS) combines shares on the network server together into one tree.

In the following example, when the client computer addresses //tera/share/backup, it’s actually looking at les located at //pc_srv/backup. This is transparent to the user of the client computer. If the TeraStation is congured to address multiple DFS shares, then shares on other devices could be addressed as native shares on the TeraStation. For example, //tera/share/share might actually address data located at //link/share.

Notes:

• Bualo does not support using DFS with Mac OS X.

• Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 cannot properly address DFS link destinations that have access restrictions

on one or more folders.

• DFS only works with SMB connections. AFP and FTP connections are not supported.

To access the TeraStation with an FTP client

Congure your FTP client software with the following settings:

Host Name IP address of the TeraStation.• Username Username registered on the TeraStation• Password Password registered to the TeraStation• Port 21•

Example ftp://192.168.11.150/

You cannot write by FTP if the shared folder is set to read-only on the TeraStation.• Access restrictions are applied based on the settings in the TeraStation. The restrictions aren’t displayed for users • without permissions for the share. To access your FTP share from outside of your network, you may need to congure your router and rewall. Consult • your router documentation for more information. Shared folders appear as follows when connected by FTP:•

disk1 share usbdisk1 info -

The internal hard drive of the TeraStation is displayed as disk1, and a USB hard drive (optional) will be displayed as •

usbdisk1.

”usbdisk1” is not displayed when the USB hard drive is not connected, or if access is restricted.•

Accessing the TeraStation with an Anonymous user:

To allow anonymous access to your FTP share, disable access restrictions on the FTP share. Congure your FTP client as follows:

Host Name IP address of the TeraStation• Username anonymous• Password any set of characters• Port 21•

Example ftp://192.168.11.150/

To make your FTP share available from outside your network, you will need to congure your router and rewall. • Consult your router’s documentation for information on how to allow FTP trac.

If the TeraStation joins a domain, anonymous users cannot access it. • Folders created or copied via an AFP connection may not be deleted from the AFP connection. This is because an • automatically generated “.AppleDouble” folder begins with a dot. To delete these les, use an SMB connection. Do not exceed 250 characters for a le/folder name including directory path when you are creating it by using an FTP •

connection. Otherwise, you cannot view or delete it in Explorer or other applications.

Examples of commands to access a folder on the TeraStation from the NFS client:10

From Linux:

mount -t nfs <IP Address>:<NFS public path for the TeraStation><the mounting point on the local computer>

e.g., mkdir /mnt/tsxl

mount -t nfs 192.168.11.10:/mnt/array1/share /mnt/tsxl In this example, TeraStation’s IP address is “192.168.11.10”, NFS publishing path is “/mnt/array1/share”,

and a mount point on the local computer is “/mnt/tsxl”.

From Windows Services for Unix 3.5:

mount <IP Address>:<NFS publishing path for the TeraStation> <a network drive’s letter (an error occurs if not available)>

e.g., mount 192.168.11.10:/mnt/array1/share z: In this example, TeraStation’s IP address is “192.168.11.10”, NFS publishing path is “/mnt/array1/share”,

and a network drive letter is “z”.

From Solaris10:

mount -<F nfs IP Address>:<NFS publishing path for the TeraStation><the mounting point on the local computer>

e.g., mkdir /mnt/tsxl

mount -F nfs 192.168.11.10:/mnt/array1/share /mnt/tsxl In this example, TeraStation’s IP address is “192.168.11.10”, NFS publishing path is “/mnt/array1/share”,

and a mount point on the local computer is “/mnt/tsxl”.

Notes:

• Settings on the NFS Client will be applied to le access. However, if you write on root, uid and gid for all will

be 99.

• You cannot unify the uid and gid for user management on the TeraStation and for the users on NFS clients.

• Root (admin) rights are required to perform the mount operation.

• If you mount as root for other users, each user will need access rights for the mount point.

You’ve completed the steps to access the TeraStation via NFS.

Encrypting Data Transmission

・Encrypting Data from the Web Admin

Access https://<TeraStation’s P address> instead of http://... to encrypt all data from the Web Admin.

Note:

Your computer may display “there is a problem with this site’s security”, but you may ignore this message and work

normally.

・Encrypting FTP Transfer Data

First, in the Web Admin, navigate to [Public] - [FTP]. Check the box by each shared folder to encrypt data transfers.

Enable SSL security in your FTP client to encrypt login passwords and les by using SSL/TLS for FTP communication.

Examples: In FileZilla’s settings, select [FTP over TLS (explicit encryption)] for the server type. For Smart FTP, select [FTP over SSL explicit] in the settings.

Notes:

• Encryption processes may seriously reduce data transfer speeds. Your transfers may be as much as 10 times slower

when using encryption.

• Depending on your computer’s security settings, the message “there is a problem with this site’s security” may be

displayed, but you may ignore this message and work normally.
