1.1 Overview

Thank you for purchasing the ZyXEL UNS Series.
Making enterprise data storage perform more efficiently can be a daunting task. Adopting the right storage solution will not only reduce the complexities involved in data management, but will also maximize cost savings and increase the operational flexibility within the existing network infrastructure. The UNS Series is a unified Network Attached Storage (NAS) unit that consolidates both NAS and IP SAN characteristics, providing users with file level access and block level iSCSI support for application such as email services or a database. The UNS Series features the following file-based protocols: CIFS, NFS, AFP, FTP, and WebDAV for cross-platform file sharing, giving users on diverse operating platforms access to shared files and directories. The UNS Series also supports multi-level RAID technologies ensuring high data availability and integrity.
CHAPTER 1

Introduction

1.1.1 Feature Highlights

The UNS Series provides the following major benefits to your business:
• Cost-Effective Backup Solution
With the integration of Amazon S3's online data protection feature, you can easily backup safe copies of your most important data into the claud, which ensures data safety.
• High Reliability
The Z File System (ZFS) of UNS Series provides a robust storage environment by eliminating any data inconsistencies. As ZFS supports the self-healing feature, which enables the storage system to detect silent data corruption and correct any error instantly. Furthermore it also offers snapshot, file systems/volumes cloning, and anti-virus software, which enhances the overall performance of disaster recovery processes.
• Optimized Storage Capacity
With the implementation of thin provisioning, the storage space can be conserved by assigning only what is needed rather than allocating the full amount of space as requested. In addition, it features data deduplication which enables better utilization of both network bandwidth and reduces the amount of storage needed for any sets of files.

2.1 Overview

This chapter describes how to access the UNS Series Web Configurator and provides an overview of its screens.
The Web Configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy setup and management of the UNS Series through an Internet browser.
The following are the recommended browser versions (1280 by 1024 setting is recommended):
CHAPTER 2

Web Configurator

•Microsoft
• Mozilla® Firefox® 8.0, 9.0, and 10.0
•Apple® Safari® 4.0 or later
• Google Chrome™
In order to use the Web Configurator you need to allow:
• Web browser pop-up windows from your device. Web pop-up blocking is enabled by default in Windows XP SP (Service Pack) 2 and later.
• JavaScript (enabled by default).
• Java permissions (enabled by default).
Note: The recommended screen resolution is 1280 x 1024.
®
Internet Explorer® 8.0, 9.0, or later

2.1.1 Accessing the NAS Web Configurator

The UNS Series storage system uses a web graphical user interface to operate. It supports most common web browsers. Be sure to connect the LAN cable to the LAN1 port of the UNS Series storage system.
The default IP setting is DHCP enabled. Please connect the LAN1 port to a network switch with an Ethernet cable. If your network environment does not support DHCP configuration, connect the LAN1 port directly to your notebook or PC to initialize the configuration.
Once the device fails to detect a DHCP configuration, a fixed IP 169.254.1.1 with a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0 is assigned to the device. Adjust the network port setting of your notebook or
desktop PC to the same subnet with a different IP such as 169.254.1.10. Open a web browser and type 169.254.1.1 to connect to the web UI of UNS system.

4.1 Overview

This chapter shows you how to use the UNS Series’ various features.

4.2 Usage Scenario

Assume that an IT manager of an SMB company with 200 employees buys a device. How can the IT manager deploy the UNS Series to meet everyone’s needs? There may be different departments each with specific needs such as running different operating system platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux), or provisioning storage space for different application servers to make sure business critical applications run without interruption.
CHAPTER 4

Getting Started

4.3 Creating a Storage Pool

Before configuring the UNS system, you must install hard drives and create storage space for the services and system setup process. A storage pool consists of one or more RAID sets. Pool size is expanded by adding extra RAID sets which can be done on demand without stopping data services.
To create storage pools, file systems, or iSCSI volumes on the UNS system, click Configuration > Storage Configuration.
Figure 5 Configuration > Storage Configuration
To set up file sharing, create a file system from the storage pool and create folders and shares within the file system.
To set up block-level access, create an iSCSI volume from the storage pool.
Enterprise level functions such as thin provisioning, deduplication, and compression serve to maximize the storage efficiency of UNS Series system.

4.4 Configuring a User Account

UNS Series supports both local user accounts and domain accounts. All user and group account information is displayed in the User Account and Group Account screens. An import/export function is available for local accounts and is located on the Import/Export Account screen. The import/ export function is particularly useful for batch user account jobs.
Click Configuration -> System Configuration -> Account to view the User Account screen.

An IT manager can choose the type of account management that fits their IT infrastructure. The UNS Series supports stand-alone, Active Directory, and LDAP services. The UNS Series easily integrate with AD/LDAP servers to streamline the account setup process. All the IT manager needs to do is provide the correct login data to join the domain.
To access directory services, click Configuration > Application Configuration > Directory Services.
Figure 9 Configuration > Application Configuration > Directory Services

4.5 Configuring Network Settings

The UNS Series supports gigabyte ethernet ports with multi-home setting. All ports can have different subnet settings to accommodate a company’s IT infrastructure. If extra bandwidth is needed, link aggregation is supported with three different modes to choose from. All major data services such as CIFS, NFS, AFP, FTP, WebDAV, and iSCSI are supported. Services can be assigned on all network ports or can be dedicated to individual ports for each department for easy management.

4.7 Conclusion

The UNS Series is the ideal unified storage system for small to medium-sized companies. It provides both file access and block access at the same time to meet all kinds of deployment needs. IT mangers can use thin provisioning to create multiple types of file systems and iSCSI volumes to achieve greater storage efficiency. Data is protected by RAID and the ZFS file system making sure of end-to-end data consistency at all times. Extra data protection can be added using snapshot and remote replication. The UNS Series is the ultimate storage solution for your company.
