Product Overview

Managing the NAS B2000

The NAS B2000 is configured at the factory with default system settings and with the NAS operating system installed. Storage, however, is not pre-configured, allowing the NAS administrator to tailor the organization and configuration of the storage to specific environmental needs. Refer to the “Storage Management” section later in this chapter for more information.
The NAS administrator uses the Compaq Array Configuration Utility (ACU) to manage the hardware storage and uses Virtual Replicator (VR) software to manage the virtual storage.
Figure 1-1: NAS B2000 device
1-2 NAS B2000 Quick Start Guide
Page 13

Dependencies and Requirements

Specific conditions must be met in order for the NAS B2000 to operate.

Storage Requirements

To protect against data loss from hard drive failure, arrays should be configured with
fault tolerance in mind. Several fault tolerance methods have been devised and are
described in the StorageWorks by Compaq NAS B2000 Administration Guide.

IP Networking and Setup Requirements

The following are IP networking and setup requirements needed for a NAS B2000
device:
Windows-based PC running Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 (or later) on the
same network segment as the NAS B2000; this will be used to set up and administer the NAS device.
A single Ethernet connection on a switch or hub for the Remote Insight
Lights-Out Edition board.
Product Overview
Additional Ethernet connection ports to client subnets (depending on network
options ordered).
IMPORTANT: The RapidLaunch client and NAS B2000 must be on the same network
segment as the management port or the RapidLaunch utility will not detect the NAS B2000.
NAS B2000 Quick Start Guide 1-3
Page 14
Product Overview

Deploying the NAS B2000 on the Network

The default shipping configuration contains two 10/100 integrated network interface controller (NIC) ports for client data access. These data ports also allow access to the Web user interface (WebUI) that accompanies the product. It is from the WebUI that most management and administrative procedures can be accomplished. An additional management port for remote console and diagnostics is provided off the Remote Insight Lights-Out Edition board. Compaq recommends that this connection be placed on a management LAN separate from the corporate infrastructure.
The NAS B2000 supports the use of NIC teaming. NIC teaming provides failover and load balancing of network ports of the NAS B2000. NIC teaming requires the network cables to be installed on the same subnet to enable it to work. However, Compaq does not recommend the assignment of IP addresses to the ports that will be teamed or load-balanced prior to the installation and setup of NIC teaming. For this reason, Compaq recommends that you set all network ports to DHCP. For information concerning the configuration of NIC teaming after setup is complete, see the administration guide.

Setup and Configuration Overview

Setting up systems is a well-defined process. This section is intended as an overview of the process, not a detailed list of step-by-step instructions. Step-by-step procedures are documented in the administration guide. Some of the steps are driven by wizards within the WebUI. In either type of setup, it is important to read all of the supplied documentation before starting. Relevant documents include:
StorageWorks by Compaq NAS B2000 Administration Guide
StorageWorks by Compaq NAS B2000 Quick Reference and Rack Installation
Guide
StorageWorks by Compaq NAS B2000 Release Notes
The following describes how to configure the NAS B2000.
1. Configure the NAS device using Chapters 2 and 3 from this guide.
2. This is an optional step. Install NIC teaming software and create fault tolerant
or load-balanced network ports. Follow the recommendations found in this guide
and in the administration guide.
3. This is a recommended step. Place the NAS device into an Active Directory or
Windows NT 4.0 domain for ease of manageability.
4. With the system online, create the arrays and logical volumes (LUNs) using
Compaq ACU one at a time so that they can be identified easily in Device
Manager and assigned to a Virtual Replicator (VR) pool. See the procedure in the
storage management section of the administration guide.
5. Create Virtual Replicator pools and virtual disks from those pools and format the
virtual disks.
6. This is an optional step. Enable protocols such as NFS sharing, NCP, and/or
AppleTalk. See the administration guide for this procedure in detail.
7. This is an optional step. Create shares corresponding to the protocols mentioned
in the previous steps. Grant access rights to the shares.
Read the remaining sections of the administration guide.

Storage Management Overview

This section provides an overview of the components that make up the NAS storage
structure. A complete discussion of the components and their relationships is
available in the administration guide.
CAUTION: This section on storage management and VR is required reading material for the NAS administrator. This section develops the concepts and requirements that serve as the basis for successfully using a StorageWorks NAS device. Failure to read this section and the appropriate sections on storage management in the administration guide may lead to data loss or file corruption.

Storage Elements

The lowest level of storage management on the NAS B2000 occurs at the physical
drive level. Physical drives are grouped into RAID arrays for fault tolerance and
better performance. The end user should configure RAID arrays using ACU. Refer to
the administration guide for more details on creating RAID arrays.

Virtual Storage Elements

Virtual Replicator (VR) provides volume virtualization for the NAS device by
allowing for the creation of virtual disks from VR pools containing the LUNs. VR
pools are logical abstractions that aggregate the disk space from one or more LUNs
into a large set of disk blocks. From the pool of blocks, VR virtual disks are created
and presented to the operating system as New Technology File System (NTFS)
volume pools. Virtual disks can be enlarged at a later time when there is a need for
more space.
When using VR, the following constraints apply:
Windows 2000’s Logical Volume Manager (LVM) should not be used to manage
VR disks. The two management tools do not have an awareness of each other and compatibility issues can arise between the two management tools.
Product Overview
VR pools can consist of a maximum of eight storage units. Thus, a pool can
consist of a maximum of eight separate LUNs. Each LUN cannot exceed 1 TB in size.
A pool may contain a maximum of 8 TB of disk space, and the maximum virtual
disk size is 2 TB.
There is a limit to the number of virtual disks that can be carved out of a VR
pool. Currently, a maximum of eight virtual disks can be carved out of a single pool.
To be accessible, each virtual disk must be presented as a drive letter or a
mount-point on the NAS device for users and on the operating system. Although it is possible to create a virtual disk and not map it to a drive letter or mount-point, neither the users nor the administrator would have access to the storage space contained within that virtual disk.
NAS B2000 Quick Start Guide 1-9
Page 20
Product Overview
All the units that make up a pool should have the same high-availability
characteristics (RAID levels and striping methods). If one LUN member of the
pool goes offline, the entire pool is unavailable.

File System Elements

Virtual disks are formatted with NTFS with drive letter assignments or mount point assignments. Refer to the administration guide for more details on file system elements.

File-Sharing Elements

The NAS B2000 supports several file-sharing protocols, including CIFS, NFS, FTP, HTTP, NCP, and AppleTalk. Refer to the administration guide for more details on file-sharing elements.
