Chapter 1 EvoStor-400CA Overview

1.1 Introduction

RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) is a group of disk drives combined
with two or more hard disks, accompanied with software and controller to provide
a high performance of data transfer at relatively low cost. More and more users
are employing RAID for disk configuration to obtain a high transfer rate of data as
well as secure data protection. As two or more disks are used in RAID
configuration, disk data can be stored and backed up more conveniently.

1.2 Product Overview

EvoStor-400CA (hereafter referred as EvoStor) external RAID system is designed
to offer high performance, high reliability and low cost alternatives to SCSI to IDE
RAID subsystems. It utilizes cost-effective IDE drives with simple storage setup
and management process making it ideal for small to mid-sized companies and
departments.

2.2 Installation

Follow the steps below to install EvoStor system:

1. Unpack EvoStor package.

2. Install hard disk. (Skip this step if a hard disk is included in the package).

Note: Set the jumper of the hard disk in Master mode before installation.

3. Connect the power cable.

4. Turn on EvoStor. Upon successful switching on of the sy stem, the following
message will be displayed on the LCD panel.

Note: Please refer to Appendix C for further information on symbols of

disk channel status.

5. Set the SCSI ID for EvoStor via the LCD panel if the ID duplicates with other
SCSI devices.

6. Create disk volume via the LCD panel. If you configure EvoStor as RAID 1,
0+1, 3, or 5, the percentage of initialization will be shown . Complete
initialization before proceeding to step 7.

Note: Please select LUN0 as the ID for this logic volume, as some O.S.

3.2.3 EvorStor View ActiveX Control

• Introduction

EvoStor View ActiveX Control is a standard ActiveX control using Microsoft

®

ActiveX and Component Object Model (COM) technology. This ActiveX control
provides an interface for web page script or other OLE control container
programs to use the functions of EvoStor Manager. Instead of monitoring disk
array status provided by EvoStor Manager, this ActiveX control can help easily
build your own manager application or manager web page.

• System Requirements

PC: IBM or IBM-compatible PC.
Operation system: Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, or Windows
XP.

• Installation Instruction

Run “Install EvoStor ActiveX Control” from companion CD to inst all the
software. After the setup program complete, all files will be installed to:
“[Program Files] \QNAP\EvoStorActiveX\”

Note: [Program Files] is the path of Windows Program Files folder. The
typical path is “C:\Program Files”. The setup program also creates a
shortcut of a demo html file. You can open it to see if this ActiveX control
has been installed correctly.

34

• Un-installation Instruction

To remove EvoStor ActiveX control, follow the steps below:

i. Open the Control Panel by choosing Settings from the Start Menu.

ii. Select "Add/Remove Program" and choose "EvoStor ActiveX Control" from

the list.

iii. Click on the "Add/Remove" button and follow the instructions to uninst all the

program.

• Usage

Open “EvoStorDemo.htm” in a web browser to see this ActiveX control in an
html file. Click on the “Connect” button and input the IP address and IP port
of EvoStor Agent, of which the EvoStor is on.

EvoStor View ActiveX Control resides in Control Panel. You can manipulate
most of EvoStor’s functions by using the buttons and Windows controls on
it. The functions and commands available are listed below:

Connect

Connect an EvoStor Agent to manage EvoStor.

Disconnect

• Object Interface

EvoStor View ActiveX Control uses the concept of objects to expose
programming functions. You can configure EvoStor or other monitoring
functions of EvoStor Manager by issuing a simple programming statement.
The complete list of the programming interface is described in the following
section “Object Interface List”.

• Web Support

To let users distribute ActiveX control on their own web page to manage
EvoStor. Here is an HTML page example as following:

Chapter 4 Accessing EvoStor

EvoStor emulates a standard SCSI-3 direct access device (hard disk) to host, it is
compatible with all SCSI-3 or SCSI-2/LVD host adapters, so no special access
software for specific operating system is required. Like any other type of fixed
disk media in your system, a RAID must also be partitioned and formatted before
use. The method of partitioning and formatting on a RAID is the same as that for
other disks. The following sections provide a brief overview on how to access
EvoStor in Windows 2000 and Red Hat Linux operating system. For other
operating system, please contact your operating system supplier for further
information.
