Chapter 4 Managing Storage RAID Modes TeraStations support many types of RAID. The type of RAID arrays available for use depends on how many drives are installed in your TeraStation. TeraStation Default RAID Mode Available Modes TS5410DN, TS5410RN RAID 5 RAID 5, 6, 10, 1, 0, and JBOD TS5210DN RAID 1 RAID 1, 0, and JBOD Notes: • If you change the RAID mode, all data on the array is deleted. This is true for every procedure in this chapter.
RAID 1 Combines 2 or more drives into a mirrored array. The available space in the array is the capacity of a single drive. Identical data is written to each drive. If a drive is damaged, data can be recovered by replacing the damaged drive. As long as one drive in the array remains undamaged, all data in the array can be recovered. RAID 0 Combines 2 or more drives into a single array. The usable drive space is the total space of all drives used.
4 Click Delete RAID Array. 5 The "Confirm Operation" screen will open. Enter the confirmation number, then click OK. 6 Click OK when finished. Once JBOD is configured, create shared folders on each drive to use them.

slow or heavily loaded network connections. Either will increase the CPU load on the source TeraStation. Encrypted and compressed data will be decrypted and decompressed on the destination TeraStation. • A maximum of 64 shared folders can be configured for replication. • Replication can also be used to copy all data from a share to a share on an attached external drive. Format the drive with ext3 or XFS before using it for replication. Drives with FAT32 partitions are not supported with replication.
3 Click Periodic Sync. 4 Select "Daily" or "Weekly" from the "Schedule" drop-down list. If "Daily" is selected, configure the sync period. If "Weekly" is selected, specify the week days and the sync period. 5 When the configuration is finished, click OK. Failover With failover, two TeraStations are connected to the network for redundancy. If an issue renders the main TeraStation inaccessible, operation automatically switches to the backup TeraStation. Data on both TeraStations stays up-to-date.
If the backup TeraStation has not received a packet from the main TeraStation within a specified time, the backup TeraStation considers the main TeraStation to have failed. By default, it will try 5 times and wait 60 seconds. If this is triggered by accident, reconfigure failover from the main TeraStation.
If the backup TeraStation is configured to sync with the UPS connected to the main TeraStation, and the main TeraStation becomes unavailable, the backup TeraStation will not be able to detect a power outage. In this case, move the UPS cable from the main TeraStation to the backup TeraStation and reconfigure the UPS link settings.
Configuration 1 In Settings for the main TeraStation, click Backup. 2 Click to the right of "Failover". 3 Click Configure Failover.
4 Select a TeraStation to be the backup destination device and enter its administrator username and password (the username is "admin", the password is "password" by default). 5 Select the LAN port to be used for sharing files and enter a virtual IP address and subnet mask. About Virtual IP Address: A virtual IP address is an IP address that will be used for file sharing while failover is configured.
• If failover occurs unexpectedly due to issues such as network problems, even if neither TeraStation has failed, log in to both the main and backup TeraStations' Settings interface, reset the failover settings, and configure it again. • The RAID array on the backup TeraStation may be reconfigured and resynchronized as part of the failover configuration process. This is expected behavior and not an error.
4 Click Edit. 5 Select "Daily" or "Weekly" from the "Schedule" drop-down list. If "Daily" is selected, configure the sync period.
