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.

Figure 1: NAS 1500s device
16 NAS 1500s Installation Guide
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.
NAS 1500s Installation Guide 17

Dependencies and requirements

Specific conditions must be met in order for the NAS 1500s to operate.

Storage requirements

To protect against data loss from hard drive failure, configure storage with fault tolerance in mind. HP recommends adhering to RAID 5 configurations.

IP networking and setup requirements

The following are IP networking and setup requirements needed for a NAS 1500s device:
Windows-based PC running Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5
(or later) on the same network segment as the NAS 1500s;
this will be used to set up and administer the NAS device.
Additional Ethernet connection ports to client subnets
(depending on network options ordered).

Deploying the NAS 1500s on the network

The default shipping configuration contains two 10/100/1000 integrated network interface controller (NIC) ports for client data access. These data ports also allow access to the WebUI that accompanies the product. Most management and administrative procedures can be accomplished via the WebUI.

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:
HP StorageWorks NAS 1500s Administration Guide
HP StorageWorks NAS 1500s Rack Installation Instructions
HP StorageWorks NAS 1500s Release Notes (if required, this
document will be available at

Configuring the NAS 1500s

The following steps describe how to configure the NAS 1500s.
1. Configure the NAS device using Chapter 2 of this guide.
2. This is a recommended step. Place the NAS device into an
Active Directory or Windows NT
manageability.
3. This is an optional step. Enable protocols such as NFS
sharing, NCP, and/or AppleTalk. See the administration guide
for this procedure in detail.
4. This is an optional step. Create shares corresponding to the
protocols mentioned in the previous steps. Grant access rights
to the shares.

5. Read the remaining sections of the administration guide.
Note: By default the data drive (F:) is configured and ready for use.
NAS 1500s Installation Guide 21

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 Disk
Manager is required reading material for the NAS administrator. This section develops the concepts and requirements that serve as the basis for successfully using an HP 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 management elements

Storage is divided into three major divisions:
Physical storage elements
Logical storage elements
File system elements
File sharing elements
Each of these elements is composed of the previous level’s elements.
22 NAS 1500s Installation Guide
Physical storage elements
The lowest level of storage management on the NAS 1500s occurs at the physical drive level. Each NAS 1500s comes with four SATA hot-pluggable hard drives. The drives are configured by default into three logical disks at the SATA controller level as follows:
Table 4: Hard drive configuration

Note: In Adaptec Storage Manager, logical disks are labeled 1, 2,
and 3. In Disk Manager, logical disks are displayed as 0, 1, and 2.
NAS 1500s Installation Guide 23
Logical storage elements
The NAS 1500s uses the Microsoft Disk Manager (DM) for managing the various types of disk presented to the file system. Disk Manager has two types of disk presentations: basic disk and dynamic disk. Each of these types of disk has special features that enable different types of management. The NAS 1500s uses all 3 disks as presented to it from the physical storage layer. The two RAID 1 disks are used for housing the primary and secondary OS basic partitions. The single RAID 5 disk houses the data volume on a basic partition.
File system elements
File system elements are composed of the folders and subfolders that are created under each logical storage element (partitions, logical disks, and volumes). Folders are used to further subdivide the available file system providing another level of granularity for management of the information space. Each of these folders can contain separate permissions and share names that can be used for network access. Folders can be created for individual users, groups, projects, and so on. Refer to the administration guide for more details on file system elements.
File-sharing elements
The NAS 1500s supports several file-sharing protocols, including DFS, NFS, FTP, HTTP, and Microsoft SMB. On each folder or logical storage element, different file-sharing protocols can be enabled using specific network names for access across a network to a variety of clients. Permissions can then be granted to those shares based on users or groups of users in each of the file sharing protocols. Refer to the administration guide for more details on file-sharing elements.

Disk partitioning, RAID configuration, and failover

The four hard drives included in the 1500s are configured for hardware RAID fault tolerance using the Adaptec 2410SA SATA RAID Controller.
The Primary OS Logical Drive is configured as a 9GB RAID
1 mirror spanning drives 0 and 1.
The Secondary OS Logical Drive is configured as a 9GB
RAID 1 mirror spanning drives 2 and 3. The Data volume is configured as a RAID 5 volume spanning the
remaining space across all four drives. The BIOS supports a boot failover mechanism that will allow the system to automatically boot to the next drive if a failure occurs on the previously booted hard drive.

Under normal circumstances, the NAS 1500s boots up from the Primary OS Logical Drive. If the system experiences a drive failure, the Adaptec 2410SA will begin an audible alert to inform the user of a drive failure. If a single drive failure occurs, it will be transparent to the OS. If a second drive fails, the Data volume will be lost and will need to be restored from backup. When the Primary OS has a failure such as system files becoming corrupted, registry corrupted and the system hangs during boot, the 1500s will failover to the Secondary OS. The system can be run from the Secondary OS, however, the user should backup their user data and then use the Quick Restore DVD to restore the system to the factory default state as soon as conveniently possible. The number of boot attempts on the Primary OS can be manually configured in the BIOS. It is recommended that the timeout value be set to 5 minutes or greater.

Regulatory Compliance Notices
A

Federal Communications Commission Notice

Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations has established Radio Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide an interference-free radio frequency spectrum. Many electronic devices, including computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended function and are, therefore, covered by these rules. These rules place computers and related peripheral devices into two classes, A and B, depending upon their intended installation. Class A devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a business or commercial environment. Class B devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a residential environment (personal computers, for example). The FCC requires devices in both classes to bear a label indicating the interference potential of the device as well as additional operating instructions for the user.
The rating label on the device shows which class (A or B) the equipment falls into. Class B devices have an FCC logo or FCC ID on the label. Class A devices do not have an FCC logo or FCC ID on the label. Once the class of the device is determined, refer to the following corresponding statement.

Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in
static-safe containers.
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they
arrive at static-free workstations.
Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from
their containers.
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
Always be properly grounded when touching a
static-sensitive component or assembly.
B
49NAS 1500s Installation Guide

Grounding methods

There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:
Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded
workstation or computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible
straps with a minimum of 1 megohm ± 10 percent resistance
in the ground cords. To provide proper grounding, wear the
strap snug against the skin.
Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing
workstations. Wear the straps on both feet when standing on
conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.
Use conductive field service tools.
Use a portable field service kit with a folding
static-dissipating work mat. If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper
grounding, have an authorized reseller install the part.
