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 18
• 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.

[Normal Backup]
All les in the source will be backed up to the destination.
[Overwrite Backup (Append Backup)]
The rst time the backup job runs is just like a normal backup. Each addditional time the backup job runs, if le
A was added to and le B removed from the backup source, then le A is added to but le B is not removed from the backup destination. Over time, the backup destination folder will become larger than the backup source folder.
[Overwrite Backup (Dierential Backup)]
The rst time the backup job runs is just like a normal backup. Each addditional time the backup job runs, if le
A was added to and le B removed from the backup source, then le A is added to and le B is removed from the backup destination. The backup destination folder is always the same as the backup source folder.
Select backup settings such as date and time to run.
Note:
Refer to page 131 for more on backup options.
The following types of folders may be used as either backup sources or backup destinations:
• Shared folders on your TeraStation, including attached USB drives, but not including the info folder
• Shared folders on a dierent TeraStation or LinkStation on the local network, but not USB drives attached to it
• Shared folders of a TeraStation or LinkStation on a dierent network that has been selected manually by IP address,
but not USB drives attached to it
Notes:
• Before using a folder for backup, navigate to [Shared Folders] in the Web Admin interface and check [Disk Backup]
for [Shared Folder Support].
• Subfolders of shared folders are not supported for backup.
• To make a TeraStation or LinkStation that is on a dierent network available for use as a backup target, navigate to [System] - [Backup] - [View NAS Devices] in the source TeraStation’s Web Admin interface and add it by IP address.

Backup Notes:
You can register up to the second level of subfolders. However, folders with more than 80 bytes(UTF-8) in their names •
cannot 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.
Click [Apply].
The backup job is added to the list of backup jobs.
TeraStation User Manual 36
Restrictions regarding to Backup
When performing backup to USB hard disk (FAT32 format) with [Overwrite Backup (Dierential Backup)] 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/LinkStation to another TeraStation/LinkStation, set • the Ethernet frame size of those 2 TeraStation/LinkStation 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 Web Admin interface, if a le name or folder name to backup contains multi-byte •
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 37

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 Web Admin interface, 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.
• NFS is set to the [Kernel mode], les or folders written by NFS protocol are not transmitted to the replication destination. To change NFS settings from the [Kernel mode] to the [User mode], select [Network] - [NFS] - [NFS Service] on the Web Admin interface.

If you want to access a dierent network from the TeraStation, use LAN Port 1. LAN Port 2 cannot access beyond the • local subnet as it doesn’t have a default gateway.
Examples: You cannot use Mail Notication (cannot nd the mail server), or you cannot nd a TeraStation by IP address
to congure as a backup destination. To resolve, place the TeraStation on the same subnet as the device that you are trying to connect to via LAN Port 2.

TeraStation User Manual 74
Notes:
• To benet from using Jumbo Frame in the TeraStation, your router/switch/hub should support Jumbo Frame.
• To use Jumbo Frame (4102/7422/9694 bytes), your computer’s NICs and all switches, hubs, and routers on the
transmission route need to support Jumbo Frame. If any device on the route doesn’t support Jumbo Frame, use standard transmission (1518 bytes) instead.
• If you are using Jumbo Frame and back up data from a LinkStation/TeraStation to another LinkStation/TeraStation, set
the Ethernet frame sizes of the LinkStations/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
default frame size (1518 bytes).

Port Trunking

You may use two separate LAN connections for redundancy, speed, and reliability.
Note:
To use Port Trunking, your hub or switch must support it.
The following Port Trunking modes are available:
[O]: Port trunking is not used. [Round-robin policy] (*1):
Sets a round-robin policy for fault tolerance and load balancing.
[Active-backup policy]:
Sets an active-backup policy for fault tolerance.
[XOR policy] (*1) :
Sets an XOR (exclusive-or) policy for fault tolerance and load balancing.
[Broadcast policy]:
Sets a broadcast policy for fault tolerance.
[Dynamic link aggregation] (*2):
Sets an IEEE 802.3ad dynamic link aggregation policy.
[Adaptive transmit load balancing (TLB)]:
Sets a Transmit Load Balancing (TLB) policy for fault tolerance and load balancing
*1 Your switch must support this. Congure the two ports on the switch in advance. Refer to your switch’s manual for
instructions on conguring it.
*2 Your switch must support this. Enable LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol) in the switch in advance. Refer to
your switch’s manual for instructions on conguring it.

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.

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 bytes 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.
