2. Click
Delete RAID
, and click
Yes
on the confirmation page. You will be returned to
the main RAID page.
3. Click
Create RAID
on the
Storage > RAID Sets
page to create a new RAID.
4. Create a two-disk RAID 1 with Drives 1 and 2 for the antivirus and backup
software to reside on.
5. Create a volume and share for the RAID 1. Optionally create user shares within
the primary, administrative share for user data. If user data will be stored on
this volume, configuring snapshots, antivirus, and a Disaster Recovery Image is
strongly recommended.
6. Create a second RAID 1 with Drives 3 and 4. Configure the volume without
snapshots for use as an iSCSI target, or to store data, optionally configuring
snapshots and a Disaster Recovery Image.
Adding Capacity to a SnapServer with Expansion Arrays
When adding an expansion array, a RAID must be created on the expansion array and
a volume created before utilizing the storage space. The existing volume on the host
SnapServer can be extended to provide more capacity for network users in a seamless
fashion, or a new volume can be created to host data. In the following procedure, an
unconfigured SnapDisk E2000 will be used to increase the capacity of a SnapServer
N2000 with a 4-drive RAID 5. This procedure will retain any data that is already
present on the server.
1. Shut down the SnapServer N2000 and attach a SnapDisk E2000 as described in
the
SnapDisk E2000 Quick Install Guide
.
2. Power on the E2000 expansion and, when it is running, restart the SnapServer
N2000.
3. When the server has completed booting, log into the Web Management Interface
for the SnapServer N2000.
4. Navigate to
Storage > Volumes
and click the volume you want to expand.
5. Click the
Expand Volume
button.
6. Check four or more drives on the expansion array and follow the onscreen
instructions to complete growing the volume.
The server:
• Creates a RAID of the same type as the volume’s RAID with the selected
drives.
• Groups the head RAID with the new expansion RAID.
• Groups the volume to the full space available in the new RAID group.
7. Repeat this as needed across the expansion array, or set up further RAID sets
with separate volume and share settings.
Configuring Email Notification, Task Scheduling, and Security
After configuring the basic storage structure on the SnapServer, administrators
should enable event notification, schedule data protection tasks, and configure
security for user-accessible shares.
