NAS 271 - ASUSTOR NAS MIB Guide Storage Manager Volume Note: This function may differ depending on the NAS model in use. Storage space on your NAS consists of logical volumes which are made up of a single disk or multiple disks combined together. Here you can set up new storage space for your NAS and, according to your data protection needs, select the most suitable RAID level. In order to maintain data integrity, you may only use internal disks when creating storage space for your NAS.
In order to provide optimal storage space utilization and data protection, ADM supports multiple RAID levels allowing you to select the appropriate level for your needs. The following volume types levels are all supported by ADM: Non-RAID Volume Types Single: Only uses a single disk in the creation of storage space. This configuration does not offer any type of data protection. JBOD: An acronym for “just a bunch of disks”, JBOD uses a combination of two or more disks to create storage space.
RAID 10 (1+0): Combines four or more disk to create a storage space that is able to support multiple failed disks (as long as the failed disks do not belong to the same “mirrored set”). RAID 10 provides the data protection of RAID 1 along with the access efficiency of RAID 0. With respect to data protection, RAID 10 uses the RAID 1 method of having the exact same data written identically on two disks, producing “mirrored sets”. These “mirrored sets” are then combined together in a RAID 0 configuration.
S.M.A.R.T. Info: S.M.A.R.T. is an acronym for Self-Monitoring Analysis and Report Technology. It is a type of self-monitoring mechanism for disks that detects and reports on various indicators of reliability, with the hope of anticipating failures. Disk Doctor: Here you can check your disks for bad sectors or conduct S.M.A.R.T. tests.
IronWolf Health Management: The Seagate IronWolf Health Management function can provide more detailed detection information for IronWolf series hard disks. Before the possibility of a hard disk error occurring, a notification or warning message will be issued. If you are using a Seagate IronWolf or IronWolf Pro series hard disk with a capacity of over or equal to 4TB, you only need to navigate to [Storage Manager] → [Disk] → [Disk Doctor] and the [IronWolf Health Management] window will appear.

Note: When enabling mutual CHAP authentication, the authentication password used by the server and client cannot be the same. Mutual CHAP Authentication: Mutual CHAP authentication requires both the target and the initiator to have usernames and passwords. When establishing a connection, the target and the initiator will have to authenticate each other using their respective credentials. LUN Pool: Here you can check on the status of all iSCSI LUNs and assign corresponding iSCSI targets.
MyArchive is a function designed especially for data management and sharing, giving you added flexibility when using multiple hard disks for data backup or exchange. When MyArchive hard disks have been inserted into the MyArchive disk bay, you will immediately be able to access the data on the hard disk. MyArchive Hard Disk: Users will need to first convert hard disks into MyArchive hard disks before being able to use the MyArchive function.

Access Control Local Users Here you can manage (add, edit or remove) the local users in the system and assign their access rights to shared folders. Usernames support multibyte character sets (such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Cyrillic) and can contain a maximum of 32 characters.
1. Open a new file with a text editor. 2. Enter a user's information in the following order and separate them by semicolon (;) • Username • Password • Description • Email • Quota (GB) (this setting will be applied to all existing volumes) • Group (if you want to add the user to multiple groups, use comma to separate the group names) 3. Go to the next line and repeat step 2 until you have input all the users. Each line indicates one user's information. 4. Save the file in UTF-8 encoding. Method 2.
Here you can manage (add, edit or remove) the local groups in the system and assign access rights for shared folders. Reminder: If you have a relatively large number of users on the system, you can conveniently assign access rights by user group instead of assigning access rights for each user one by one. Within ADM, a single user’s access rights with regards to shared folders will depend on the user’s existing access rights and on the access rights of the group that the user belongs to.
Reminder: ASUSTOR NAS can support more than 200,000 AD users and groups. When joining an AD domain for the first time, depending on the number of users and groups, it may take a while for all of them to become visible. See More Appendix 7.1 – Permission Mapping Table Domain Groups Here you can view all AD user groups and manage their access rights to shared folders once your NAS has been successfully added to an AD domain. Reminder: ASUSTOR NAS can support more than 200,000 AD users and groups.
See More Appendix 7.1 – Permission Mapping Table Shared Folders Here you can manage your shared folders and set up their access rights in relation to users and user groups. Shared folders allow your NAS to become a file server. They are fundamental in sharing files with the outside world. Consequently, correctly setting up their access rights is very important in the management of your data. Invisible in “Network” or “My Network Places”: This setting only applies if you are using Microsoft Windows.
“Network” or in “My Network Places”. Please note that enabling this setting will not affect the connection to your NAS in any way. Empty Recycle Bin: Click this button to empty all contents in this shared folder’s Recycle Bin immediately. Encrypt this shared folder: Here you can choose whether or not you want to encrypt your shared folder and whether or not you want to auto-mount it at system startup.
Convert to the new ASUSTOR encryption mechanism: This option will only appear under “Edit” for encrypted folders that have been encrypted using ASUSTOR’s previous encryption mechanism. Converting to the new encryption mechanism will require extra volume space in order to temporarily store all the files originally in the folder. This required space is the total capacity of all the files in the shared folder.
About Shared Folders After initialization, the system will automatically create a shared folder “public”. By default, all users can access the files in this folder. Additionally, the system will automatically create a personal folder for each user (using the user’s account name) that by default, can only be accessed by the mentioned user. Windows ACL: Here you can choose to enable or disable Windows ACL for specified shared folders.
1. After enabling Windows ACL for a shared folder, the shared folder and all subfolders and files contained within it can be assigned user or group permissions. 2. The following shared folders do not support Windows ACL permissions: Home, User Homes, PhotoGallery, Web, Surveillance, MyArchive, Network Recycle Bin, virtual devices, external devices (USB hard drives, optical drives). 3.
CIFS Folder Here, you can mount remote folders as shared CIFS folders and configure their usage permissions according to users or user groups. Auto-mount at system startup: You can select whether to auto-mount on system startup. If you have not enabled this item, the CIFS folder will be automatically removed the next time the system starts up.
Here you can configure the users’ or user groups’ access rights to apps. For example, if a particular user’s account is denied access to the Surveillance Center app, once he/she logs in, he/she will not be able to see the Surveillance Center app icon on their ADM home screen. The user will have no way of opening or accessing the app. Web applications may be public in nature (i.e., WordPress) or have their own account management systems (i.e., Joomla).
Use encrypted transmission: If you choose to use encrypted transmission, you will have to enter the other host’s SSH connection information in addition to your Rsync account information. Use 1 on 1 folder synchronization: If you decide to use 1 on 1 folder synchronization, all the data in the designated destination folder will be synchronized with the data in your source folder (you may only select one folder). The contents of both folders will be exactly the same.
See More NAS 259 – Using Remote Sync (Rsync) to Protect Your Data NAS 351 – Remote Sync (Rsync): Best Practice FTP Backup FTP backup can allow for your NAS to be used as a backup destination or backup source. When using your NAS as a backup source, you can choose to back up the data from your NAS onto another remote ASUSTOR NAS or FTP server. When your NAS acts as a backup destination, you can back up the data from another remote ASUSTOR NAS or FTP server onto your NAS.
Internal Backup Internal Backup allows you to backup data from NAS to local shared folders. Using Internal Backup with MyArchive disks creates a perfect off-site backup solution. Use 1 on 1 folder synchronization: If you decide to use 1 on 1 folder synchronization, all the data in the designated destination folder will be synchronized with the data in your source folder (you may only select one folder). The contents of both folders will be exactly the same.
One Touch Backup Note: This function may differ depending on the NAS model in use. One Touch Backup allows you to preset the function of the USB backup button found on the front of your NAS. Here you can designate your preferred backup direction and directory.
