NAS 2000s Installation Guide
Configure Storage
Configure storage by creating disk arrays, logical disks, and
volumes. Physical disks can be arranged as RAID arrays for fault
tolerance and enhanced performance, then segmented into logical
disks of appropriate sizes for particular storage needs. These
logical disks then become the volumes which appear as drives on
the NAS server.
Creating Disk Arrays
To create disk arrays using the Array Configuration Utility (ACU)
on the WebUI’s Disks tab:
1. Click the Disks tab and select Array Configuration Utility.
2. Click Yes in the Security Alert dialog to accept the security
certificate.
3. Log in as an administrator.
Note:
The default login for the ACU is
administrator
and the
password is
administrator
.
4. The ACU session will run in a new browser window.
5. Select the proper array controller in the left pane of the
interface. Some NAS systems are equipped with separate
array controllers for internal and external storage.
Note:
Consult the help available in ACU for details on creating
arrays, if necessary.
6. Select Create Array from the task list on the right panel.
7. Select the physical drives on which you want to create an
array and click OK.
Note:
Do not modify Array A off of the Smart Array 5i controller in
the embedded slot; it contains the NAS operating system.
