What File and Network Protocols are supported on the G-RACK 12?
From the Connect menu you can control and configure each of the following features:
•
FTP - The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to transfer computer
files between a client and server on a computer network. FTP is built on a client-server model
architecture and uses separate control and data connections between the client and the server.
• NFS - The Network File System (NFS) is a client/server application that lets a computer user view
and optionally store and update file on a remote computer as though they were on the user’s
own computer. The user’s system needs to have an NFS client and the other computer needs the
NFS server.
• SMB - The Server Message Block (SMB) Protocol is a network file sharing protocol, and as
implemented in Microsoft Windows is known as Microsoft SMB Protocol. The set of message
packets that defines a particular version of the protocol is called a dialect. The Common Internet
File System (CIFS) Protocol is a dialect of SMB.
• AFP - The Apple Filing Protocol (AFP), formerly AppleTalk Filing Protocol, is a proprietary network
protocol that offers file services for OS X and original Mac OS.
• iSCSI - iSCSI, which stands for Internet Small Computer System Interface, works on top of the
Transport Control Protocol (TCP) and allows the SCSI command to be sent end-to-end over local-
area networks (LANs), wide-area networks (WANs) or the Internet. Unlike file sharing protocols it
presents the option of having a block device that can be treated like a raw hard disk.
• SSH - Also known as Secure Socket Shell, is a network protocol that provides administrators with
a secure way to access a remote computer. SSH also refers to the suite of utilities that implement
the protocol.
• SSL - SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is the standard security technology for establishing an
encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed
between the web server and browsers remain private and integral.
Are the hard drives in the G-RACK 12 hot-swappable?
Yes. In case of a drive failure, users can run G-RACK 12 in the degraded state (meaning one drive
failed) and replace the failed drive with a new one. It is important to replace a failed drive with an
approved replacement drive to keep all the data intact and safe.
NOTE:
To avoid data loss never remove more than one (1) drive at any given time. If there are two
drives it is important that you allow the system to re-sync before you move forward with the second
replacement drive. Once, the first drive is fully back online and re-synced you can repeat the steps
and replace the next drive.
What are the key reasons to contact G-Technology support?
• Admin password loss.
• G-Technology does not publish the method for accessing a unit with a lost password but our
