CAUTION:

CAUTION: (English)

1. Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the

operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient.

Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment

compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.

2. Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of

air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

3. Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a

hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

4. Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to

the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent

protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings

should be used when addressing this concern.

5. Reliable Grounding - Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.

Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to

the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).

The main purpose of the handles is for rack mount use only. Do not use the handles to carry or transport the systems.

RAID is the abbreviation of Redundant Array of Independent Disks. The basic idea of RAID is to

combine multiple drives together to form one large logical drive. This RAID drive obtains more

performance, capacity and reliability than a single drive. The operating system detects the RAID

drive as a single storage device.

RAID Levels

There are various RAID levels with different degrees of data protection, data availability, and

performance. A description of supported RAID levels follow:

Page 14

Type

Description

Min. No. of Drives

RAID 0

RAID 6

2-dimensional parity protection over the member disks.

RAID 50

Striping over the member RAID 5 volumes.

RAID 60

Striping over the member RAID 6 volumes.

NAS Concepts

NAS (Network-Attached Storage) is file-level computer data storage connected to a computer

network providing data access to heterogeneous clients. NAS uses file-based protocols such as NFS

(popular on UNIX systems), SMB/CIFS (Server Message Block/Common Internet File System) (used

with MS Windows systems), or AFP (used with Apple Macintosh computers). NAS units rarely limit

clients to a single protocol.

NAS provides both storage and a file system. This is often contrasted with SAN (Storage Area

Network), which provides only block-based storage and leaves file system concerns on the "client"

side. SAN protocols are SCSI, Fibre Channel, iSCSI, ATA over Ethernet (AoE), or HyperSCSI.

One way to loosely conceptualize the difference between a NAS and a SAN is that a NAS appears

to the client OS (operating system) as a file server (the client can map network drives to shares on

that server) whereas a disk available through a SAN still appears to the client OS as a disk, visible in

disk and volume management utilities (along with client's local disks), and available to be

formatted with a file system and mounted.

iSCSI Concepts

iSCSI (Internet SCSI) is a protocol which encapsulates SCSI (Small Computer System Interface)

commands and data in TCP/IP packets for linking storage devices with servers over common IP

infrastructures. iSCSI provides high performance SANs over standard IP networks like LAN, WAN or

the Internet.

IP SANs are true SANs (Storage Area Networks) which allow several servers to attach to an infinite

number of storage volumes by using iSCSI over TCP/IP networks. IP SANs can scale the storage

capacity with any type and brand of storage system. In addition, it can be used by any type of

network (Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet) and combination of

operating systems (Microsoft Windows, Linux, Solaris, Mac, etc.) within the SAN network. IP-SANs

also include mechanisms for security, data replication, multi-path and high availability.

(initiator)

IP SAN

Storage protocol, such as iSCSI, has “two ends” in the connection. These ends are initiator and

target. In iSCSI, we call them iSCSI initiator and iSCSI target. The iSCSI initiator requests or initiates

HBA

any iSCSI communication. It requests all SCSI operations like read or write. An initiator is usually

located on the host side (either an iSCSI HBA or iSCSI SW initiator).

The target is the storage device itself or an appliance which controls and serves volumes or virtual

volumes. The target is the device which performs SCSI command or bridge to an attached storage

device.

Before starting, prepare the following items:

 A management computer with a Gigabit Ethernet NIC (recommend) on the same network.

 Connection cables:

。 CAT 5e, or CAT 6 (recommend) network cables.

 Prepare a storage system configuration plan by the network administrator. The plan should

include network information for all network ports. If using static IP addresses, please

prepare a list of the static IP addresses, the subnet mask, and the default gateway.

 Switches

。 : Gigabit switches (recommended). Or Gigabit switches with VLAN / LCAP / Trunking

(optional).

 CHAP security information, including CHAP username and password (optional).

Quick Setup

Management Interfaces

There are several management methods to manage the storage system, described below.

Web UI

For remote management, the unified storage system uses a web graphic user interface for

operation. It supports most common web browsers. Be sure to connect the LAN cable to the

management port of the system.

The web UI can be accessed via every network interface, but D-Link still defines a management

port. The default IP of the management port setting is DHCP; check the LCM to find the IP address.

If your network does not have DHCP server, you will need to configure a static IP address.

Enter the IP address into your browser to display the authentication screen.

http://<IP Address> (e.g.: http://192.168.10.50)

 Generic Zero Reclaim: It will reclaim data blocks with special patterns

such as all 0’s, all 1’s. Theoretically, it will have better storage efficiency.

 Enabled: This will always enable lossless data compression function using

LZJB algorithm.

“Sync” means synchronous I/O, which is similar to the definition of writethrough. Synchronous I/O is that every file system transaction is written and

command. Latency will be longer and performance will suffer.

If you don’t know how to use this setting, please leave it as default.

 Disabled: All write commands become asynchronous. It will ignore the

NFS.

 Standard: The default value. It depends on the applications.  Always: All write commands become synchronous even if the application

issues asynchronous transactions.

The “Sync” option will be unselectable if “volume” is selected instead of file system. This is because synchronous write function is not supported in iSCSI block access for the time being.

“Number of data copies” in Create File System or Volume UI is used to create

The value of two means that when you copy a 10MB file, it will take up 20MB space. The value of three means that it will take up extra double space to store the same data in the same storage pool.

Users will not be able to see the actual extra copies. They are controlled by the file system.

Thin provisioning

The following are the thin provision features:

 Dynamic allocating space to store user data.

 Applied to both file system and volume.

 Remove stranded or reserved-but-unused capacity. Improve storage efficiency.

Page 48

48 D-Link Document – User Manual

How to use thin provisioning?

1. Create a file system with thin provisioning turned ON. The Size option will be grey out.

Because the upper size limit is the available size of the storage pool, there is no quota size or

reserved size.

2. Check the network drive property. The size is the remaining pool size. So it’s dynamic.

3. Copy some files to the share. There is no pre-allocated space (reserved size). The used size

reflects just the exact amount of the files being copied.

Compression

The following are the compression features:

 Compression algorithm adopts LZJB.

 Applied to both file system and volume.

 Compression can be turned ON and OFF on the fly during I/O.

How to use compression with shares?

1. For example, create a file system of 20MB with compression turned ON.

2. Map the share in Windows as a network drive. And check the drive property.

3. Copy several bitmap files that are over the size of 20MB.

Page 49

4. Check the network drive property again. The actual space taken is less than 20MB, which

means Compression is functioning.

TIP:

Directory Services

The Directory services option provides three directory services. Default is Standalone, which

supports local account only. The others are Active Directory for Windows and LDAP services.

UnifiedAUTH mechanism is the backbone of all the directory services. It simplifies the use of all

the data services (CIFS, NFS, AFP, FTP, WebDAV, iSCSI) and frees the users from memorizing

different account/password sets for different data services. The benefits are:

 Easier use of all data services  Simplified management

Only one directory service can be enabled at all time. No two directory services can be enabled at

the same time. Switching directory service will result in losing Access Control List of all shares from

the previous directory service.

Select the radio button to change the directory service:

 Standalone

Standalone support local user/group accounts only. It’s the default setting.

When it is done, click Apply button.

 Active Directory

Active Directory service supports Windows Server 2003 and 2008 Active Directory to

manage the accounts. The maximum number of AD users and groups is 65536.

Enter the settings of Active Directory above. When it is done, click Apply button. If the

information is correct, the AD accounts will be added in System configuration -> Account ->

User account -> Domain user and Group account -> Domain group. It will take some time to

download the accounts at the first time. And then it will synchronize with the server

automatically.

In order to make sure you can successfully login Active Directory server, please make sure the following two requirements are met. Primary DNS (Domain Name Server) setting is identical to that of the Active Directory server. The system time is synchronous with that of the Active Directory server with less than 1 minute tolerance.

TIP:

 LDAP

LDAP (Light-weighted Directory Access Protocol) service supports LDAP version3 to manage

the accounts. The maximum number of LDAP users and groups is 65536.

Enter the settings of LDAP above. When it is done, click Apply button. If the information is

correct, the accounts will be added to System configuration -> Account -> User account ->

Domain user and Group account -> Domain group.

Base DN: The base distinguished name (DN) indicates where in the LDAP directory you wish

to load users and groups. It is the top level of the LDAP directory tree to be used when

searching for resources. Suppose that all user accounts and groups are located in the “Users”

folder under your domain. In LDAP form, it is cn=Users,dc=<your domain>. Let’s say your

domain is aaa.bbb.com. The Base DN you should put in is cn=Users,dc=aaa,dc=bbb,dc=com.

Admin DN: By default, the administrator DN is in the form cn=Administrator,dc=<your

domain>. Using previous example, The Admin DN should be put in is

cn=Administrator,dc=aaa, dc=bbb,dc=com.

Please contact your LDAP server administrator for the correct login parameters for Base DN, Admin DN, User base DN, and Group base DN.

Access Shares from Your Operating System

Introduction

There are five data services provided by the Unified Storage. This chapter will show you how to

access shares from different operating systems. We will introduce CIFS/Samba, NFS, FTP, AFP, and

WebDAV. Before you can access the shares, please make sure that you have enabled file sharing

services and related settings in Sharing of Chapter 4.

CIFS and Windows

There are several ways to access a network share in Windows XP and Windows 7 operating

systems. It all follows Windows UNC (Universal Naming Convention) format.

Syntax:

\\<NAS system name>\<share name>

\\<IP address of NAS>\<share name>

<NAS system name> can be found from menu bar System Configuration -> System.

<IP address of NAS> is the IP address of one of the network ports. It can be found from menu bar

Network Configuration -> Network Setting.

Method 1: The Address Input in Explorer

Open a Windows Explorer from Start button or by pressing Start key + E. In the address input, put

in the share path and press Enter. Please refer to the screenshot below.

Page 73

73 D-Link Document – User Manual

Windows will pop up a dialog requesting for an account and password. Please put in your account

and password. When the authentication is clear, the share is ready for you to use as follows:

Method 2: The Command Line Input from Start Button

Click Start button to bring up the start menu. In the command line input, put in the share path and

press Enter. The rest is the same as described in Option 1.

Page 74

74 D-Link Document – User Manual

Method 3: Map a Network Drive in Explorer

Please follow the steps below to map a network share from the unified storage to a drive letter.

The network share will be automatically mapped the next time you boot your Windows.

1. Open a Windows Explorer from Start button or by pressing Start key + E. Go to Tools and

select Map network drive.

2. Select the drive letter you like. Put the share path in Folder. Make sure you check Reconnect

at logon. Click Finish.

Page 75

75 D-Link Document – User Manual

NFS and Linux

3. You may find a new drive with the letter you just selected in Explorer. You may start using

the new drive then.

The Unified Storage supports NFS version 3 and version 4. If version 4 connections cannot be

established, the system will automatically try to establish the connection using version 3 protocols.

Before using the NFS shares, please make sure the NFS settings of the shares are properly

configured.

Redhat Linux 5

When mounting a file system in Redhat Linux 5, Redhat Linux 5 uses NFS version 3 by default. Use

the following syntax to mount an NFS share. Please make sure you add the keyword – nfs-share

before the share name. It represents the absolute path that the end user doesn’t need to know.

Page 76

76 D-Link Document – User Manual

mount <IP address of NAS>:/nfs-share/<share name> <mount point>

For example:

mount 192.168.8.180:/nfs-share/SQL_DB2 /mnt/nas

Redhat Linux 6

The default attempt will try to use NFS version 4 protocol to set up connection in Redhat Linux 6.

Use the following syntax to mount an NFS share.

mount <IP address of NAS>:/<share name> <mount point>

For example:

mount 192.168.8.180:/SQL_DB2 /mnt/nas

Open Solaris 10/11

Open Solaris 10/11 will use NFS version 4 as a default. Use the following syntax to mount an NFS

share.

mount -F nfs -o rw <IP address of NAS>:/<share name> <mount point>

For example:

mount -F nfs -o rw 192.168.8.180:/SQL_DB2 /mnt/nas
