1: Introduction

1.0 Introduction to the SCSI-NG

The SCSI-NG is a compact portable SCSI hard drive duplicator. Efficient cloning makes it easy to copy SCSI
hard drives for back-up, drive testing and all your duplication tasks. The unit features a Gigabit Ethernet
network port to conveniently use the browser-based interface to manage all SCSI-NG operations.
Comprehensive log reports provide detailed information about each task performed. An optional Wipe
feature can securely erase hard drives using a SCSI format command, a custom pass, or a 7-pass DoD
specification wipe.

1.1 Features

 Supports cloning of 68-pin SCSI hard drives. One master to one target. Optional adapters are

available to convert 50-pin or 80-pin drives.

 Clones all operating systems including Windows 10, Linux and Unix
 Use the browser-based user interface to manage all operations including software updates. The

®

.

unit has a Gigabit Ethernet port.

 Multi-Image Master. This feature allows you to store multiple SCSI-NG-created images on a SCSI

master drive connected to the SCSI-NG or on a network repository and then clone to selected
targets.

 Write-protected master port. The master port is automatically write-blocked to prevent any

alteration to sensitive data on the master drive.

 Multiple Cloning Modes:

o Mirror Copy, bit for bit copy. Supports all O/S including Windows and Linux.
o Clever Copy: Copies only data areas, skips blank sectors, scales partitions to target.

Supports FAT16/FAT32/NTFS and Linux (EXT, EXT2, EXT3, EXT4) file systems

o For multiple partition drives, SCSI-NG automatically selects the optimum cloning

method (Clever or Mirror)

 Hash/Verification option (SHA1, SHA256 or MD5) allows the user to clone and verify the exact

replication of the master drive. Available with the purchase of an optional software activation
package.

 Wipe option allows the user to securely erase target drives using a SCSI format command, a

custom pass or a 7-pass DoD specification wipe. Meets the NIST 800-88 guidelines. Available
with the purchase of an optional software activation package.

 Audit trail/log reports provide detailed information on each task. A digital signature is included

in the report for authentication purposes.

3: Quick Start

3.0 Quick Start Guide

This chapter gives a basic overview and steps on how to perform different types of operations using the
SCSI-NG (Clone, Hash, Wipe, etc.). Complete details on each operation, menu, or selection, and the
different screens can be found in Chapter 4: Cloning and Chapter 5: Types of Operation.

The passwords for built-in accounts can be changed.
Instructions on how to change the passwords to the two
built-in user accounts can be found in Section 5.7.2.2.

There are software options available such as:

- Verify option – allows verification of data copied during the clone task.

- Wipe option – allows the ability to wipe drives connected to the Target bay.

To find out if these options are enabled on the unit, tap the Statistics icon from
the navigation menu and select the Options tab.

To purchase any of these options, contact the Logicube Sales Department at

[email protected].

The SCSI-NG clone, hash, and wipe speeds are determined by
several factors including (but not limited to) the following:

 The manufacturer specifications of the drive(s) being used
 The age of the drive (manufactured date, not purchased date)

 How often that drive has been used

3.1.1 Blank Disk Check

A blank disk check can be performed to see if a drive has been wiped by the unit. This check will
not be accurate if Secure Erase or Pattern Buffers was used to wipe the drive. To perform a
blank disk check:

1. Connect a drive to the unit.

2. Choose Clone, Hash, or Wipe/Format.

3. Go to Master or Target to see the list of connected drives.

4. Tap the More Info icon to the right of the drive to display information about the drive.

5. Tap or click the down arrow located to the right of the screen to scroll down to the

second page of information.

4: Clone

4.0 Clone – Introduction

This type of operation allows the cloning of a Master drive to a Target drive (or a
repository). There are three different imaging modes and several settings to choose
from. These selections should be performed in order from left to right. Mirror

(Performs a bit-for-bit copy of the Master drive or image) or Clever (Clones only
sectors with data, skips blank sectors, and can expand partitions depending on the settings used) can be
used.

There are four selections when performing a clone:

 Mode
 Master/Image File
 Settings
 Target/Image File

4.0.1 Cloning to Smaller Capacity Drives

Regardless of the Operating System, Target drives should be at least the same capacity or larger
than the Master drive. Specifically, each Target drive must have the same number of sectors (or
Logical Block Addresses/LBAs) or a larger number of sectors or LBAs than the Master.

If the Master drive is larger in capacity than the Target drive, it is still possible to clone the drive,
but there are some adjustments that will need to be made to the Master drive. The following
applies to any Operating System:

 The total partition sizes on the Master drive need to be adjusted to be less than the

capacity/size of the smallest Target drive.

 The partitions on the Master drive need to be adjusted so that the free/unallocated

space is at the end of the drive.

Before making any changes to the Master drive, it is highly
recommended to make a backup copy of the Master drive
by performing a Mirror copy of the drive to make sure
there is an exact duplicate backup of the Master drive.

Logicube cannot provide support on how to resize,
shrink, or move partitions. There are several articles
and software/utilities/tools available on the internet
on how to re-size, shrink, or move partitions.

Logicube SCSI-NG User’s Manual 20

CLONING

Sample original drive (1 TB drive):

Sample of a properly adjusted drive (from a 1 TB drive to fit a 750 GB drive):

Sample of an adjusted drive that will not work (from a 1 TB drive to fit a 750 GB drive):

Once the partitions have been adjusted to properly fit the Target drive, it can be cloned using
any of the cloning methods. Depending on the Operating System and cloning method used,
there may be limitations to cloning the drive.

4.0.2 Mirror Copy Limitations

Mirror Copy method performs a bit-for-bit copy of the Master drive, producing an exact
duplicate of the Master drive. There are very few possible limitations when using Mirror Copy
(e.g., sector size, drive health, etc.). There is one other possible limitation when using the Mirror
Copy method:

The Target drives should be the same capacity or larger. If the Target drive is smaller in capacity,
please see Section 4.0.1, then set the Clone Method Setting to the proper percentage of the
drive (for example, if the Target drive is 750 GB and the Master is 1 TB, clone no more than 75%
of the drive), or set the number of blocks (LBAs) to match the Target drive’s number of blocks
(LBAs).

Logicube SCSI-NG User’s Manual 21

CLONING

4.0.3 Clever Copy Limitations

Clever Copy method copies only data sectors and fills the rest of the drives with zeroes (blank
space) and can expand partitions to fill the rest of the drive or a percentage of the drive. If one
of the partitions (file systems) is not supported by Clever Copy, the Logicube device will
automatically use Mirror Copy for that partition. Here are some limitations when using the
Clever Copy method:

 For Windows, all System Restore, Recovery, and OEM partitions should not be

expanded.

 The Target drives should be the same capacity or larger. If the Target drive is smaller in

capacity, please see Section 4.0.1.

4.1 Mode

Tap this icon to choose between the following three imaging modes:

 Drive to Drive – Clones one Master drive to one Target drive.
 Image to Drive – Restores SCSI-NG image files to one drive.
 Drive to Image – Creates an image file from the Master drive. The image file can be written to a

connected drive or a network repository.

4.2 Master/Image File

Tap this icon to select the Master drive to be imaged. SCSI-NG will list the drive connected to the Master
position.

When Image to Drive mode is selected, the Image File window will list all available drives that may

 Drive to Drive
 Image to Drive

4.3.1 Job Info

Job Info is available in all cloning modes and allows users to enter information about the job. Job
Info is not required to start a clone operation. Information entered here will appear in the logs.

Tap any of the boxes and an on-screen keyboard will appear allowing information to be entered.
After entering the information, tap the OK icon to go back to the previous screen.

Log names and file names can be customized by entering a Job Name.
if a clone operation is performed, and the Job Name is set to TestJob,
the log name and file name will be called TestJob.

Subsequent Job Names that are the same will be identified with a dash,
then the next image number. For example, TestJob-1, TestJob-2, etc.

The unit will convert any non-POSIX portable characters used in Job
Name field to underscores “_“ when creating the log or file names.

POSIX portable characters are:
Uppercase A to Z Period (.)
Lowercase a to z Underscore (_)
Numbers 0 to 9 Hyphen/Dash (-)

4.3.2 HPA/DCO/ACS3

HPA/DCO/ACS3 is available in the following modes: Drive to Drive and Drive to Image.

The HPA/DCO/ACS3 setting allows the user to set whether a drive’s HPA, DCO, or Accessible

Max Address is to be unlocked and cloned or imaged. Select YES to unlock and clone or image a
Host Protected Area (HPA), Device Configuration Overlay (DCO), or Accessible Max Address
(ACS3).

HPA – If supported by the drive, HPA is set by using the SET MAX ADDRESS command, the Host
Protected Area is an area of a drive that is normally not visible to an Operating System, BIOS, or
the user.

DCO – If supported by the drive, DCO is typically set by using the DCO MODIFY or DEVICE
CONFIGURATION SET command, the Device Configuration Overlay limits the size of a drive only.
For example, a 160GB drive can be made to look like a 100GB drive to a computer. Like HPA, this
hidden area is normally not visible to an Operating System, BIOS, or the user.

Logicube SCSI-NG User’s Manual 23

CLONING

ACS3 – If supported by the drive, this is set using the ACCESSIBLE MAX ADDRESS command as
specified by the ATA/ATAPI Command Set, this is the maximum LBA that is accessible by read
commands and write commands that return command completion without error.

4.3.3 Error Handling

Error Handling is available in all modes. When bad sectors are encountered on the Master drive,
the unit can either skip the bad sectors or abort the imaging operation. This allows flexibility on
what to do when bad sectors are found on the Master drive.

When bad sectors are encountered, and error
handling is set to Skip, the unit will write a zero on the
corresponding sector or position in the Target drive.

There is also has a setting for error granularity. There are 3 options:

 1 sector (512 Bytes)
 4096 Bytes (8 sectors)
 64 KIB (128 sectors)

When a bad sector on the Master drive is found, by default, it will skip that sector. Changing the
granularity allows more sectors to be skipped.

A cluster size represents the smallest amount of disk space that can be used to hold a file. The
most common cluster size for an NTFS volume, for example, is 4KB (4096 Bytes). This means that
the smallest amount of space that will be used for a file is 4096 Bytes.

As an example, if 4096 Bytes is chosen, and one of the 8 sectors in that cluster size contains a
bad sector, the unit will skip the entire cluster (or 4096 bytes or 8 sectors).

4.3.4 Hash/Verification Method

The Hash/Verification method screen is available in all modes. Hash is not available in Image to
Drive but is available in other modes. Verification is available in all modes.

The Hash Method selection is shown in Image to Drive but is not
selectable. The unit will automatically use the hash method that
was selected when the image was created (using Drive to Image).

Hash – Will hash the Master drive with the selected method. There different hash algorithm
options available, depending on which Imaging mode is selected:

 None – No hash of the Master will be performed. This is available only when using the

following mode:

o Drive to Drive

 SHA-1 – Uses the SHA-1 algorithm to hash the Master. This is available when using the

following modes:

o Drive to Drive
o Drive to Image

Logicube SCSI-NG User’s Manual 24

CLONING

 SHA-256 – Uses the SHA-256 algorithm to hash the Master. This is available when using

the following modes:

o Drive to Drive
o Drive to Image

 MD5 – Uses the MD5 algorithm to hash the Master. This is available when using the

following mode:

o Drive to Drive

Verification Method/Verify – Available selections are YES or NO. Select YES to hash the Target
and verify that hash with the hash calculated from the Master.

The Verify feature is an option. To find out if this option is

output modes available are:

 Mirror – Creates a bit-for-bit image of the Master.
 Clever – Copies only sectors containing data and compresses the image file.

4.3.6 Clone Method Settings

When Drive to Drive or Drive to Image mode is selected, Clone Method Settings will appear on
the top-right of the Settings screen. Depending on the cloning method chosen, the Clone
Method Settings screen has can have different settings:

Mirror – If mirror is selected or used, the following settings are available:

 Length – Set the percentage or number of blocks to clone. By default, this is set to

100% of the Master.

 Master Start – Set the percentage or number of blocks from the start of the Master.

By default, this is set to 0%, or the beginning of the Master.

 Target Start – Set the percentage or number of blocks from the start of the Target.

By default, this is set to 0%, or the beginning of the Target.

The specific number of blocks can
be set for each of the options by
tapping the (edit) icon.

Target drives may need to be initialized through the
computer’s RAID controller before being cloned to.

Clever – If clever is selected or used, the following settings are available:

 Partition Resize – This screen will show the number of partitions found on the

Master drive and for each supported partition, a resize percentage setting will be
shown.

It is recommended that all System Restore, Recovery, and OEM
partitions should not be expanded. Setting the slider/percentage
to 0% will instruct the unit to keep the same partition size. The
percentage value, when set from 1 to 100 will determine what
percentage of the Target drive will be used. For example, setting
the percentage value to 100% would instruct the unit to use the
entire remainder of the Target drive for that partition.

4.4 Target

7: Remote Operation

7.0 Remote Operation - Introduction

The SCSI-NG comes with a gigabit network connection in the back of the unit. Connecting the SCSI-NG to
a network allows remote access to the SCSI-NG from any computer within the same network.

DHCP is enabled by default. See Section 5.8.1.1 for instructions on how to configure a Static IP address.
Zero Configuration Network (Zeroconf) is also available. There are two ways to access the unit:

 Web interface – A graphical interface using an Internet browser where the screens are shown

exactly the way they appear on the unit’s touch screen.

 Command Line Interface (CLI) – A text only command line interface that can be accessed one of

two ways:

i. Telnet (via a network connection)

ii. SSH (Secure Shell via a network connection)

BROWSER COMPATIBILITY: Google Chrome and
Mozilla Firefox are recommended. Other browsers may
not display the Graphical User Interface (GUI) properly.

7.1 Web Interface

Using a web browser, go to the IP address or the hostname of the unit. Both IP address and hostname
can be found by going to the Statistics screen. For example, browse to http://192.168.1.100 or
http://scsing-XXXXXX where XXXXXX is the 6-digit serial number of the unit. The web interface will

appear on the browser screen. All screens and operations available on the unit’s screen will be available

on the browser.

On some browsers or Operating Systems,
the unit will need to be accessed by
browsing to http://scsing-XXXXXX.local.

The unit can be controlled by clicking on the icons appearing on the browser window.

7.2 Command Line Interface (CLI)

A CLI or Command Line Interface is also available. This interface has no graphical content and is all
command line (text) based and is for advanced users who have knowledge of command line functions.
This type of connection requires a Telnet or SSH client. There are several Telnet and SSH clients available
from different software companies. Microsoft Windows also has a built-in Telnet client that can be used.

Logicube SCSI-NG User’s Manual 60

REMOTE OPERATION

 Windows has a built-in Telnet client but may not be installed by default.

Installing the Telnet client may require the assistance of a Network or
Systems Administrator. Other third-party Telnet programs are available.

 All versions of Windows do not have a built-in SSH client.
 For assistance on the installation of any SSH or Telnet software (including

Microsoft’s Telnet client) please check with your IT administrator.

7.2.1 Connecting via Telnet

Once the Telnet client is installed, follow the steps below to connect using the Windows Telnet
client.

1. Connect the unit to the network by attaching a network cable to any of the RJ45

connectors in the back of the unit.

2. Turn the unit on and allow it to boot up completely.

3. Open the Telnet client.

4. Type open followed by the IP address or hostname of the unit. For example:

open 192.168.1.100 or open scsing-XXXXXX
where XXXXXX is the 6-digit serial number of the unit, then press Enter. A login should
appear.

5. Login with the username “it” (without the quotes) and the password “it” (without the

quotes). A command prompt should appear on the Telnet window.

The unit can now be configured or managed via the command line interface.

7.2.2 Connecting via SSH

Connecting via SSH (Secure Shell) is very similar to connecting via Telnet. Since Windows does
not have a built-in SSH client, a third party SSH client will need to be downloaded and installed
to connect via SSH. For instructions and support on how to use third party SSH clients, please
contact the SSH client’s manufacturer.

1. Connect the unit to the network by attaching a network cable to any of the RJ45

connectors in the back of the unit.

2. Turn the unit on and allow it to boot up completely.

3. Open the SSH client and select an SSH connection.

4. Connect to the unit either by IP address or by hostname. The name of the will be scsing-

XXXXXX where XXXXXX is the 6-digit serial number of the unit).

5. Login with the username “it” (without the quotes) and the password “it” (without the

quotes). A command prompt should appear in the SSH window.

The unit can now be configured or managed via the command line interface.

7.3 Zero Configuration Networking (Zeroconf)

Zero Configuration Networking (Zeroconf) allows devices to automatically create a usable computer
network based on the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP). For example, when the unit is connected
(connected via a network cable) directly to a Windows based computer that is DHCP enabled, both the
unit and the Windows based computer will automatically configure themselves to be seen by each other
using TCP/IP with a 169.254.x.x IP address configuration.

8: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

8.0 FAQs

Q. How many concurrent tasks can the SCSI-NG run?
A. The SCSI-NG does not support multi-tasking and can run one task at a time.

Q. Why is it when I clone a drive the number of bytes shown is twice the size of my Source drive?
A. The number of bytes shown on the progress bar is not the actual size of the drive. This is the actual

data being processed. When ‘Verify’ is set to “Yes”, the reported number will double in size.

Q. Do Target drives need to be wiped or formatted using the SCSI-NG?
A. For Drive to Image mode, the SCSI-NG must be used to format the Target drive. This helps ensure

that the images and data are written properly to the Target drive.

Q. Can the SCSI-NG clone Linux partitions?
A. Yes. SCSI-NG can clone Linux partitions using Mirror or Clever clone.

Q. Can the SCSI-NG clone the Apple File System (APFS), Hierarchical File System (HFS), or Hierarchical

File System Plus (HFS+)??

A. Yes, SCSI-NG can clone APFS, HFS, and HFS+ using Mirror clone.

Q. Can the SCSI-NG clone to smaller capacity Target drives?
A. Yes. For details on how to clone to smaller capacity Target drives, see Section 4.0.1.

Q. How does the SCSI-NG handle bad sectors on the Master drive?
A. The SCSI-NG will retry the bad sector 7 times. After the 7th attempt, if the sector still cannot be read,

it will skip that sector and list the sector in the log file.

Q. What operating system does SCSI-NG use?
A. The SCSI-NG uses a Linux-based operating system. A Linux-based operating system provides

increased stability and security over Windows-based systems.

Q. What file format does SCSI-NG use when formatting target drives?

FAT32.

Logicube SCSI-NG User’s Manual 63

FAQs

Q. Does the SCSI-NG provide log files?
A. Yes, each operation/task produces a log file. The log file is viewable on the SCSI-NG screen (or

remotely on a PC). The log files can be exported to a thumb drive (the SCSI-NG will export in XML,
HTML and PDF). XML log files can be customized using XML editors. The log files are stored on the
internal drive within SCSI-NG and are accessible by pressing the log file icon from the left-side
navigation bar on the SCSI-NG screen.

Q. Why are the VERIFY buttons on the Clone task Settings greyed out?
A. The Verify function is an option which allows the SCSI-NG to verify the data cloned on the Target

drive against the calculated hash from the Master drive. To find out if this option is installed, go to
the Statistics icon from the navigation menu on the left and select the Options tab. To purchase the
Verify option, contact our sales team at: [email protected].
