Page 43: Storage Management Overview
Storage Management Overview With the HP StorageWorks NAS 2000s the administrator has complete control over all storage issues. The NAS administrator uses the Array Configuration Utility (ACU) to manage the hardware storage, Disk Manager to manage the volume level, and Shadow Copies to manage the shadow copies (snapshots).

Page 45: Storage Elements Overview
Storage Management Overview Storage Elements Overview Note: Each fully populated HP StorageWorks 4300/4400 Family storage enclosure supports up to 14 hard drives. Preliminary physical storage management tasks involve managing: Physical Hard Drives Arrays Logical Drives (LUNs) Drive array concepts and data protection methods, including fault tolerance options are discussed in this section.
Page 46 Storage Management Overview Figure 21: Configuring the physical drives into an array dramatically improves read/write efficiency Because the read/write heads are active simultaneously, the same amount of data is written to each drive during any given time interval. Each unit of data is termed a block. The blocks form a set of data stripes over all the hard drives in an array, as shown in Figure Figure 22: RAID 0 (data striping) (S1-S4) of data blocks (B1-B12)
Page 47: Logical Drives (Luns)
Storage Management Overview Logical Drives (LUNs) As previously stated, drive array technology distributes data across a series of individual hard drives to unite these physical drives into one or more higher performance arrays. Distributing the data allows for concurrent access from multiple drives in the array, yielding faster I/O rates than non arrayed drives.
Page 48: Fault-Tolerance Methods
Storage Management Overview Fault-Tolerance Methods Different RAID (redundant array of independent disks) types use different methods of striping the arrays and different ways of writing data and parity to the drives to offer a variety of fault tolerance and capacity usage. The RAID methods supported by the NAS 2000s include: RAID 0—Data Striping only, no fault tolerance RAID 1+0—Drive Mirroring and striping RAID 5—Distributed Data Guarding...
Page 49: Disadvantages
Storage Management Overview Disadvantages All data on logical drive is lost if a hard drive fails Cannot use an online spare Data can only be preserved by being backed up to external media RAID 1+0—Drive Mirroring and Striping In this configuration, information on one drive is duplicated onto a second drive, creating identical copies of the information as shown in Figure 24.
Page 50: Disadvantages
Storage Management Overview Disadvantages Some disadvantages of drive mirroring are: Increased expense—Since many drives must be used for fault tolerance and hard drives must be added in pairs. Decreased storage capacity—Only 50% of the total drive capacity is usable. RAID 5—Distributed Data Guarding Using this method, a block of parity data (rather than redundant data) is calculated for each stripe from the data that is in all other blocks within that stripe.
Page 51: Advantages
Storage Management Overview Advantages Distributed data guarding offers: High read and write performance Protection against data loss if one drive fails Increased usable storage capacity, since capacity equal to only one physical drive is used to store parity information Disadvantages Some disadvantages of distributed data guarding are: Lower write performance than RAID 0 or RAID 1+0 Possibility of data loss if a second drive fails before data from the first failed drive has...
Page 52: Advantages
Storage Management Overview This technology allows the safe deployment of large capacity disk drives and the creation of very large storage volumes without expensive overhead to protect business critical data. This technology provides more flexibility in responding to drive failures without the fear of costly server downtime.
Page 53: Online Spares
Storage Management Overview Online Spares Further protection against data loss can be achieved by assigning an online spare (or hot spare) to any configuration except RAID 0. This hard drive contains no data and is contained within the same storage sub system as the other drives in the array. When a hard drive in the array fails, the controller can then automatically rebuild information that was originally on the failed drive onto the online spare.
Page 54: Volumes
Storage Management Overview Volumes When planning dynamic disks and volumes there is a limit to the amount of growth a single volume can undergo. Volumes are limited in size and are limited to no more than 32 separate LUNs with each LUN not exceeding 2 terabytes (TB). Volumes also cannot exceed 64 TB of disk space.
Page 55: Volume Shadow Copy Service Overview
Storage Management Overview Volume Shadow Copy Service Overview The Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) provides an infrastructure for creating point-in-time snapshots (shadow copies) of volumes. VSS supports 64 shadow copies per volume. Shadow Copies of Shared Folders resides within this infrastructure and helps alleviate data loss by creating shadow copies of files or folders that are stored on network file shares at pre-determined time intervals.

Page 81: Shadow Copies
Shadow Copies Overview The Volume Shadow Copy Service provides an infrastructure for creating point-in-time snapshots (shadow copies) of volumes. Shadow Copy supports 64 shadow copies per volume. A shadow copy contains previous versions of the files or folders contained on a volume at a specific point in time.
Page 82: Shadow Copy Planning
Shadow Copies Shadow Copy Planning Before setup is initiated on the server and the client interface is made available to end users, consider the following: From what volume will shadow copies be taken? How much disk space should be allocated for shadow copies? Will separate disks be used to store shadow copies? How frequently will shadow copies be made? Identifying the Volume...
Page 83: Allocating Disk Space
Shadow Copies Allocating Disk Space When shadow copies are enabled on a volume, the maximum amount of volume space to be used for the shadow copies can be specified. The default limit is 10 percent of the source volume (the volume being copied). The limit for volumes in which users frequently change files should be increased.
Page 84: Identifying The Storage Area
Shadow Copies Note: Use the mountvol command with the /p option to dismount the volume and take it offline. Mount the volume and bring it online using the mountvol command or the Disk Management snap-in. Identifying the Storage Area To store the shadow copies of another volume on the same file server, a volume can be dedicated on separate disks.
Page 85: Shadow Copies And Drive Defragmentation
Shadow Copies Shadow Copies and Drive Defragmentation When running Disk Defragmenter on a volume with shadow copies activated, all or some of the shadow copies may be lost, starting with the oldest shadow copies. If defragmenting volumes on which shadow copies are enabled, use a cluster (or allocation unit) size of 16 KB or larger.

Page 88 Shadow Copies cache file cache file cache file Figure 44: Shadow copies stored on separate volume The main advantage to storing shadow copies on a separate volume is ease of management and performance. Shadow copies on a source volume must be continually monitored and can consume space designated for file sharing.
Page 89: Enabling And Creating Shadow Copies
Shadow Copies Enabling and Creating Shadow Copies Enabling the Shadow Copies service for a volume or creating a shadow copy can be done directly from the Manage Shadow Copies page. Enabling shadow copies on a volume automatically results in several actions: Creates a shadow copy of the selected volume Sets the maximum storage space for the shadow copies Schedules shadow copies to be made at 7 A.M.
Page 90: Set Schedules
Shadow Copies Set Schedules Shadow Copy schedules control how frequently shadow copies of a volume are made. There are a number of factors that can help determine the most effective shadow copy schedule for an organization. These include the work habits and locations of the users. For example, if users do not all live in the same time zone, or they work on different schedules, it is possible to adjust the daily shadow-copy schedule to allow for these differences.
Page 91 Shadow Copies 3. On the Manage Shadow Copies page, select the volume on which to view shadow copy properties. 4. On the Tasks list, click Properties. The Shadow Copy Properties screen, as shown in Figure 45, lists the number of copies, the date and time the most recent shadow copy was made, and the maximum size setting.

Page 94: Shadow Copies For Shared Folders
Shadow Copies Shadow Copies for Shared Folders Shadow Copies are accessed over the network by supported clients and protocols. There are two sets of supported protocols, SMB and NFS. All other protocols are not supported; this would include HTTP, FTP, AppleTalk, and NetWare Shares. For SMB support a client side application denoted as Shadow Copies for Shared Folders is required.
Page 95: Nfs Shadow Copies
Shadow Copies Users access shadow copies with Windows Explorer by selecting View, Copy, or Restore, from the Previous Versions tab. See Figure 47. Both individual files and folders may be restored. Figure 47: Client GUI When users view a network folder hosted on the NAS device for which shadow copies are enabled, old versions (prior to the snapshot) of a file or directory are available.
Page 96: Recovery Of Files Or Folders
Shadow Copies Access to NFS shadow copy pseudo-subdirectories is governed by normal access-control mechanisms using the permissions stored in the file system. Users can access only those shadow copies to which they have read access at the time the shadow copy is taken. To prevent users from modifying shadow copies, all pseudo-subdirectories are marked read-only, regardless of the user's ownership or access rights, or the permissions set on the original files.
Page 97: Recovering A Deleted File Or Folder (Non-Sharepoint Or Windows Xp/Windows 2003)
Shadow Copies Recovering a Deleted File or Folder (non-sharepoint or Windows XP/Windows 2003) To recover a deleted file or folder within a folder: 1. Navigate to the folder where the deleted file was stored. 2. Position the cursor over a blank space in the folder. If the cursor hovers over a file, that file will be selected.

Page 101: User And Group Management
User and Group Management There are two system environments for users and groups: workgroup and domain. Because users and groups in a domain environment are managed through standard Windows NT or Windows 2000 domain administration methods, this document discusses only local users and groups, which are stored and managed on the NAS device.
Page 102: User And Group Name Planning
User and Group Management The configuration of the domain controller is reflected on the NAS 2000s because it obtains user account information from the domain controller when deployed in a domain environment. As mentioned previously, the server cannot act as a domain controller itself. User and Group Name Planning Effective user and group management is dependent upon how well the user and group names are organized.
Page 103: Workgroup User And Group Management
User and Group Management Using tags is a helpful convention that indicates the specific access that a particular user has to a network resource. For example, if there is a data share on the device, the network administrator can create a “Data Users ROnly” group and a “Data Users RWrite” group to contain users that have read only or read write access on the share, respectively.
Page 104: Adding A New User
User and Group Management All available options include: New, Delete, Set a Password, and Properties. When the Local Users dialog box is initially displayed, only the New option is available.

Page 138: Storage Management
Folder, Printer, and Share Management Storage Management The storage management features built into the NAS 2000s are composed of three main features and are applicable at the directory level of a share. These features include: Directory Quotas File Screening Storage Reports Each of these feature sets are describe below.
Page 139: Establishing Directory Quotas
Folder, Printer, and Share Management Because of the differences in the amount of storage requested for a file extension operation and the amount actually allocated by Windows 2003 for that extension, the user may be allowed to exceed his quota by as much as one cluster. For example, assume the user has a quota of 100 KB and has used 96 KB on a file system with a cluster size of 8 KB.
Page 140: File Screening
Folder, Printer, and Share Management Within each policy, there are a number of configuration screens that are presented in the form of a wizard. The wizard collects the following information to create a policy: Name of Policy Disk space limit and Unit of measurement Passive limit (If selected the limit will issue warnings but will not prevent access.
Page 141: Storage Reports
Folder, Printer, and Share Management Use caution when placing screening parameters on the system partition. If certain classes of files are screened from the system partition, the operating system may not have the access to save temporary working files. It is a good idea to exclude systems directories from screening. Another option is to create a passive screening policy that allows files to be saved but the file activity to be logged.
Page 142: Print Services
Folder, Printer, and Share Management Print Services Printer services are a new feature added to the NAS 2000s that has not been available previously. The new service supports network printers only and is not intended for use with locally attached printers (USB or Parallel port connected).

Page 165: Nfs User And Group Mappings
Microsoft Services for NFS NFS User and Group Mappings When a fileserver exports files within a homogeneous environment, there are no problems with authentication. It is a simple matter of making a direct comparison to determine whether the user should be allowed access to the file, and what level of access to allow. However, when a fileserver works in a heterogeneous environment, some method of translating user access is required.
Page 166: Squashed Mappings
Microsoft Services for NFS Squashed Mappings If the NFS server does not have a corresponding UID or GID or if the administrator has set other conditions to filter out the user, a process called squashing takes effect. Squashing is the conversion of an unmapped or filtered user to an anonymous user.
