NAS 1500s Installation Guide 15

Managing the NAS 1500s

The NAS 1500s is configured at the factory with default system settings and with the NAS operating system installed. Refer to the “Storage management overview” section later in this chapter for more information.

The NAS administrator uses Windows Disk Manager (DM) to manage the logical storage.

Product redundancy

The NAS 1500s is specifically designed to perform file serving tasks for networks, using industry standard components to ensure reliability.

Other industry standard features, such as redundant array of independent drives (RAID) implemented in the hardware and remote manageability further enhance the overall dependability of the NAS 1500s.

To ensure redundancy and reliability, the hard drives installed in the NAS 1500s are configured so that a single drive failure will not cause data loss or system failure. The NAS 1500s is configured with dual boot capability. When powered on, the NAS 1500s can boot using a primary OS or a secondary recovery OS.

The primary OS logical drive resides on disk 0 and is mirrored on disk 1 while the secondary OS logical drive resides on disk 2 and is mirrored on disk 3. If a single disk failure occurs, the system will still function off the mirrored disk. If the primary OS becomes corrupted and un-bootable, the secondary OS is available for data backup prior to using the Quick Restore DVD to restore the system to the factory default state.

The data volume is configured as a hardware RAID 5 based basic partition across all four drives. This ensures redundancy in the event of a drive failure. The data volume is accessible by both the primary OS and secondary OS.

Refer to the administration guide for additional information.
