Page 51: Arrays
• Include the appropriate number of physical drives in the arrays to create logical storage elements of desired sizes. Arrays Figure 13. With an array controller installed in the system, the capacity of several physical drives (P1–P3) can be logically combined into one or more logical units (L1) called arrays. When this is done, the read/write heads of all the constituent physical drives are active simultaneously, dramatically reducing the overall time required for data transfer.
Page 52: Fault Tolerance
Fault tolerance Drive failure, although rare, is potentially catastrophic. For example, using simple striping as shown Figure 14, failure of any hard drive leads to failure of all logical drives in the same array, and hence to data loss. To protect against data loss from hard drive failure, storage systems should be configured with fault tolerance.
Page 53: Partitions
gl0045 Figure 15 Two arrays (A1, A2) and five logical drives (L1 through L5) spread over five physical drives NOTE: This type of configuration may not apply to all storage systems and serves only as an example. Through the use of basic disks, primary partitions or extended partitions can be created. Partitions can only encompass one LUN.
Page 54: File System Elements
and recreating the volume, unless it is a simple volume. Simple volumes can be mirrored or converted to spanned volumes. Fault-tolerant disks cannot be extended. Therefore, selection of the volume type is important. The same performance characteristics on numbers of reads and writes apply when using fault-tolerant configurations, as is the case with controller-based RAID.
Page 55: Using Storage Elements
Using storage elements The last step in creating the element is determining its drive letter or mount point and formatting the element. Each element created can exist as a drive letter, assuming one is available and/or as mount points off of an existing folder or drive letter. Either method is supported. However, mount points can not be used for shares that will be shared using Microsoft Network File Services.

Search enhancements The Indexing service is tuned for additional indexing and query performance. Prior to the R2 release, if the Indexing service on a Windows Storage Server was not entirely up-to-date, the client-side search engine needed to “walk through” all the files within the scope of the search on the server. With the performance tuning in R2, the Indexing service no longer needs to be entirely up-to-date.

• Sessions • Open Files File services management Configurable and pre-configured storage Certain storage systems ship with storage configured only for the operating system. The administrator must configure data storage for the storage system. Other storage systems ship with pre-configured storage for data.
Page 138: Storage Management Utilities
NOTE: Do not tamper with the “DON’T ERASE” or local C: volume. These are reserved volumes and must be maintained as they exist. Storage management utilities The storage management utilities pre-installed on the storage system include the HP Array Configuration Utility (ACU).
Page 139: Disk Management Utility
Click Array Configuration Utility on the left side of the window. The ACU opens and identifies the controllers that are connected to the system. Some ACU guidelines to consider: • Do not modify the first two logical drives of the storage system; they are configured for the storage system operating system.
Page 140: Scheduling Defragmentation
• Basic disks can contain up to four primary partitions (or three primary partitions and one extended partition). • Format drives with a 16 K allocation size for best support of shadow copies, performance, and defragmentation. • NTFS formatted drives are recommended, because they provide the greatest level of support for shadow copies, encryption, and compression.
Page 141: Adding Storage
When enabling disk quotas, it is possible to set both the disk quota limit and the disk quota warning level. The disk quota limit specifies the amount of disk space a user is allowed to use. The warning level specifies the point at which a user is nearing his or her quota limit. For example, a user's disk quota limit can be set to 50 megabytes (MB), and the disk quota warning level to 45 MB.
Page 142: Extending Storage Using Windows Storage Utilities
Extending storage using Windows Storage Utilities Volume extension grows the storage space of a logical drive. During this process, the administrator adds new storage space to an existing logical drive on the same array, usually after the array has been expanded. An administrator may have gained this new storage space by either expansion or by deleting another logical drive on the same array.
Page 143: Volume Shadow Copies
Volume shadow copies 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 144: Allocating Disk Space
Shadow copies are designed for volumes that store user data such as home directories and My Documents folders that are redirected by using Group Policy or other shared folders in which users store data. Shadow copies work with compressed or encrypted files and retain whatever permissions were set on the files when the shadow copies were taken.
Page 145: Identifying The Storage Area
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. For example, if user files are stored on H:\, another volume such as S:\ can be used to store the shadow copies.
Page 146: Mounted Drives
Mounted drives A mounted drive is a local volume attached to an empty folder (called a mount point) on an NTFS volume. When enabling shadow copies on a volume that contains mounted drives, the mounted drives are not included when shadow copies are taken. In addition, if a mounted drive is shared and shadow copies are enabled on it, users cannot access the shadow copies if they traverse from the host volume (where the mount point is stored) to the mounted drive.

NOTE: When deleting a shadow copy schedule, that action has no effect on existing shadow copies. Viewing shadow copy properties The Shadow Copy Properties page lists the number of copies, the date and time the most recent shadow copy was made, and the maximum size setting. NOTE: For volumes where shadow copies do not exist currently, it is possible to change the location of the cache file.
Page 150: Disabling Shadow Copies
On the Shadow Copies tab, ensure that the volume is selected, and then click Enable. Shadow copies are now scheduled to be made on the alternate volume. Disabling shadow copies When shadow copies are disabled on a volume, all existing shadow copies on the volume are deleted as well as the schedule for making new shadow copies.
Page 151: Shadow Copies For Shared Folders
Click the Shadow Copies tab. See Figure Figure 23 Accessing shadow copies from My Computer 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.
Page 152: Smb Shadow Copies
SMB shadow copies Windows users can independently access previous versions of files stored on SMB shares by using the Shadow Copies for Shared Folders client. After the Shadow Copies for Shared Folders client is installed on the user's computer, the user can access shadow copies for a share by right-clicking on the share to open its Properties window, clicking the Previous Versions tab, and then selecting the desired shadow copy.
Page 153: Nfs Shadow Copies
NFS shadow copies UNIX users can independently access previous versions of files stored on NFS shares via the NFS client; no additional software is required. Server for NFS exposes each of a share's available shadow copies as a pseudo-subdirectory of the share. Each of these pseudo-subdirectories is displayed in exactly the same way as a regular subdirectory is displayed.

Page 163: Defining Access Control Lists
By keeping the number of shares and other resources low, the performance of the storage system is optimized. For example, instead of sharing out each individual user's home directory as its own share, share out the top-level directory and let the users map personal drives to their own subdirectory. Defining Access Control Lists The Access Control List (ACL) contains the information that dictates which users and groups have access to a share, as well as the type of access that is permitted.
Page 164: Managing Shares
Managing shares Shares can be managed using the HP All-in-One Management Console. Tasks include: • Creating a new share • Deleting a share • Modifying share properties • Publishing in DFS CAUTION: Before deleting a share, warn all users to exit that share and confirm that no one is using that share.

Page 178 Accessing NFS resources for Windows users and groups Server for NFS allows Windows clients to access NFS resources on the storage system without separately logging on to Server for NFS. The first time users attempt to access an NFS resource, the Server for NFS looks up the user’s UNIX UID and GID information in either Windows Active Directory or the User Name Mapping function on the storage system.
Page 179 is not mapped to a Windows account is treated by Server for NFS as an anonymous user. By default, the user identifier (UID) and group identifier (GID) is -2. For example, if files are created on an NFS Share by UNIX users who are not mapped to Windows users, the owner of those files are listed as anonymous user and anonymous group, (-2,-2).
