Configuring storage for non-clustered
configurations
Configure storage by creating disk arrays, LUNs, and volumes.
Physical disks can be arranged as RAID arrays for fault tolerance
and enhanced performance, then segmented into LUNs of
appropriate sizes for particular storage needs. These LUNs then
become the volumes that appear as drives on the NAS server.
Creating disk arrays
Array and LUN management are functions of the SAN and are
managed and administered by the SAN Management software in
use with the associated storage array. The NAS device is designed
to make use of these assigned LUNS but does not contain the
functionality to directly manipulate the various storage arrays.
Please see the accompanying storage array management guides
for assistance in providing LUNS to the NAS device.
Verifying LUNs
To verify that the NAS System recognizes the newly created
LUNs:
1. Click the Disks tab and select Disks.
2. Select Rescan in the Task section to make the system scan for
newly created LUNs.
3. Click Back to return to the Manage Disks.
4. Verify that disks matching the newly created sizes are
displayed.
Creating a volume
To create a Volume on the newly created LUN:
1. Click the Disks tab and select Disks.
2. Select the radio button for the target disk.
3. Select Create New Volume.
4. Fill out the form on the screen and click OK.
5. Fill out the form on the screen and click OK.
The volume is created.
