The Server Administrator may also mount Single-user Write volumes to client
workstations that are inactive or active, to be mounted after a startup or reboot,
respectively. In this way, the administrator may remove all management duties from
a particular user, and only remotely mount (SUW only) or un-mount Volumes when
needed.
If a user has never launched the TerraBlock Manager on the local workstation, the
username will show up as “Unknown (xx)”, with no hostname. When remotely
mounting or un-mounting for this user, the Administrator must know the WWN
number of the Fibre Channel card. This can be found in the ATTO Configuration Tool,
by highlighting the channel and viewing “Node Name”.
See the TerraBlock Release
Notes for more information and installation of the ATTO Config Tool.
When mounting a volume remotely while the client is active, the
volume will not appear immediately on the client workstation. The
user must reboot if using a Mac, or rescan in Windows Disk
Management for Windows clients.
Upon selection of Un-mount by Index, the following confirmation will appear:
Only continue if it has been confirmed that the workstation is shut down or
disconnected from the TerraBlock Server.
Never un-mount a volume from an active workstation using
Unmount by Index. Even if that volume is not currently in use,
the unsafe removal could cause damage to the TerraBlock
virtual volume and potentially lead to data loss.
Add Attached Volumes
This feature is used when attaching an external Facilis T8 or TX16 to the
TerraBlock Server or adding volumes to a Hub Server. If a T8 or TX16
Storage Array is not attached, this button will have no functionality, but still
appear.
Refer to the documentation provided with the Facilis T8 or TX16 Storage
Array for detailed instructions on attaching these devices to the TerraBlock
Server and working with the attached storage volumes.
