  • Page 12: Storage Overview And Terminology

    Network and Storage Planning Storage Overview and Terminology The NAS 8000 is an easy-to-manage storage solution for heterogeneous environments including Windows, UNIX, and Linux. The storage space on the NAS 8000 is made up of physical and logical storage: Physical storage refers to the hardware you use for data storage. Logical storage is created by software that organizes your physical storage into file volumes and directories that are made accessible to users.

  • Page 13: Volume Groups

    Network and Storage Planning Volume Groups A volume group is the aggregation of one or more LUNs. Volume groups combine the space from LUNs and make the space accessible to the file system for creating file volumes and directories, which can then be made accessible to users. File Volumes A volume group is divided into one or more file volumes.

  • Page 14: High Availability

    Network and Storage Planning Note: If you take a snapshot of an empty file volume, every file added to that volume will be duplicated in the snapshot. This will require you to allocate a much larger storage space than you would otherwise need.

  • Page 15: Data Protection

    Network and Storage Planning The NAS solution supports two failover models: Active/Active (or “Dual Active”) means that both cluster nodes can be serving data simultaneously. The nodes provide failover services for each other, but can be fully utilized at all times. This mode is achieved by configuring failover packages to run on both cluster nodes –...
  • Page 16 Network and Storage Planning Active spare is similar to the dedicated hot spare disks used in some conventional arrays. However, those arrays let the hot spare remain idle until it is needed. This array uses the active spare for RAID 1+0 storage until the spare is needed. This provides the added benefit of enhancing performance while also protecting against disk failure.

  • Page 17: Ha Storage Configuration

    Network and Storage Planning HA Storage Configuration This section provides suggestions for configuring the storage on an NAS 8000 with high availability (HA) features. For a description of HA, see Physical Storage on page 12. On a simple dedicated-storage NAS system without HA features, the simplest way to configure the storage is to create a single LUN for the entire array, then create one volume group with multiple file volumes beneath it.

The iLO is a management chip embedded in the NAS 8000 server.

  • Page 19: Nic Ports

    Network and Storage Planning NIC Ports There is a method to NIC port enumeration on the NAS 8000. Understanding these allows the correlation of NIC ports logical names (i.e. ‘ethX’) to physical port locations. Supported NICs are as follows: NC3134 (138603-B21) Expandable dual-port 10/100 - included in all configurations NC3135 (138604-B21) Dual-port 10/100 upgrade for NC3134 NC7770 (244948-B21) Single-port PCI-X gigabit copper NC7132 (153543-B21) Single-port gigabit copper upgrade for NC3134...
