1.5.3 ESD precautions In order to avoid damage to uNAS/tNAS, please ensure you are grounded before opening the system or the ESD package that contains uNAS/tNAS. Using grounding straps or mats is the best way to ensure this safety. If you don’t have grounding equipment handy, please make sure you are grounded before working with uNAS/tNAS, for instance, by touching a heater. • Avoid unnecessary touching of the components inside the PC, • Please touch uNAS/tNAS only on the edges. 2 Features 2.
Stripe size is configurable roughly between 64 KB and 1 MB. The result is a lightning fast RAID, but with no added security. One failing drive may ruin the entire RAID. RAID 1 mirrors hard drives. By writing identical data onto more than one drive, security is enhanced. A completely defective drive does not cause any loss of data. The drawback is reduced performance and capacity. RAID 5 combines data striping from RAID 0 with parity checking, therefore combining speed and improved security.
If that is the case, you can proceed at 4.3. If your network does not have a DHCP server, uNAS/tNAS will start with the default settings: IP address 192.168.0.220 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. You can change these values again by typing in the following key combination: left CTRL, left ALT and N. You can select a different IP address now. All other available functions on of the console will appear after pressing F1 key (see below).
4.3 Logging into uNAS/tNAS You can establish a connection to uNAS/tNAS from every network computer. To establish this connection, use a browser (e.g. Microsoft Internet Explorer) and enter the IP address or the name of the computer hosting the NAS-R3 R server into the URL entry line: https://192.168.0.220 (standard address) or https://nas (this name can be changed in the installation of uNAS/tNAS). For security reasons, uNAS/tNAS uses the encrypted SSL protocol (https).
After clicking “create” button, the status will change to “in use” with additional information describing the kind of a disk array (e.g. MD0 is RAID 0) 4.5 Adding Disk Array - In the menu, please select the “CONFIGURATION” ”volume manager” and “Unit manager” function. You find a list of available drives/arrays (units) that can be used, While creating the “new volume group”, the system adds selected units only. You can use default volume group name or change it.
- You can possible to combine two (or more) units into one Volume Group. ext, by clicking on the right-hand side of the tree diagram on volume group name e.g. “vg00” and use function “Volume Manager” you can create new NAS volume. If you want to use snapshot feature you should create snapshot volume. uNAS/tNAS User Guide Version 1.
- Next, with use of function “Volume Manager” you can add disk volume to a new LV, or increase size of existing LV’s (you can’t decrease LV size). To set needed LV size just use scrollbar, next to which, on the right side is shown size available to use. This function can be also used to reserve disk space for swap, snapshots and system. 4.6 Creating uNAS/tNAS shares In the menu, please select “CONFIGURATION” followed by “NAS settings.” Here, you select the type of authentication.
Some examples how to use ACL (with ADS or PDC authentication): 1. Deny access to a Directory for every user (group): a. Create a new folder or select one of your existing folders (you must be the owner or super user to set ACL permissions)* b. Go to the “directory properties” (right mouse click on the directory then choose "Properties") c. Select a the “security” tab d. Choose the group "Everyone" e. Click the "Remove" button – only you and your group will have access to the selected directory ** f.
d. Enable Full Control in the Allow column e. Click the "Apply" button 6. Allow “read” access for a group "COMPANY" to this directory a. Make sure that the group "COMPANY" exists b. In security window click the "Add" button c. Select the group "COMPANY" (Advanced Find Now will show you all users and groups) and click OK d. Enable "Read & Execute" in the Allow column e. Click the "Apply" button 7.
9. UNIX Rights in Windows Folders permissions Example application of ACL permission in a small company. The company has 10 users uNAS/tNAS User Guide Version 1.
First create users and groups in Your Domain: 1. Run Menu Start Programs Administrative Tools Active Directory Users and Computers 2. Right mouse click on your domain name and select New User 3. Enter all necessary fields to create user Chris. 4. Create all users (back to point 2). 5. Click with right mouse click on your domain name and select New Group 6. Create groups: Developers, Graphics, and Company. 7. Add users to groups - right mouse click on group Developers. In Members tab click Add.
Subsequently do the same for your group and your user. Subdirectories created in this directory should have ACL permissions inherited from the parent. If permissions are inherited then the “ALLOW” column is grey. To disable permission just use the “Deny” column. If you change ACL permissions always check that a new set of permissions for one group does not interfere with permissions for the other user/groups or any connections between these accounts.
By pressing a combination of left CTRL key, left ALT key and t, you can run Console Tools. The menu will appear, with choice of following functions: Ping, DHCP Ping, Hardware info, Memory info, Time configuration and DNS configuration.

Default user is 'cli' and you cannot change it, but password can be change. Allow IP - You can assign IP addresses (separated by a semicolon) that are granted to server remote access. The field left blank means no restriction. Set port - Default port is 22222 for security reasons, because high ports are invisible for port scanners.
Function: Create new S/W RAID unit In this function you can create software RAIDs from free (not used) units. If you want to create RAIDs from used units, you need first to delete content of units in console, be aware this would ERASE all data from units. To create a RAID select units, then from ListBox select what type of RAID it will be, then select desired Chunk size. After setting all demanded parameters press Create button.
- RAID 1: mirror array requires 2 units. Destination size will be equal: SINGLE) UNIT_SIZE, where (SINGLE) UNIT_SIZE is the size of the smallest unit in array. - RAID 5: stripe + parity algorithm array (required [minimum] 3 units - with the same capacity). You can choose from the ListBoxes: (layout) parityalgorithm [left/right] [symmetric/asymmetric]. DESTINATION SIZE: (NR_OF_UNITS-1)*(SINGLE)UNIT_SIZE, where (SINGLE) UNIT_SIZE is the size of the smallest unit in array.
RAID 6 (layout) parity-algorithm It is possible to set one from four algorithms of placement data blocks and parity blocks in matrix. Our default option is left-symmetric which the best is for large reads. Other recommended value is left-asymmetric. To remove RAID, if previously added to Volume Group please enter console Extended tools (press F1 on console to find out keyboard shortcuts) and first delete Volume Group of the RAID (Delete content of units function in Extended tools menu).
Include array status Information about the status of event-related array will be added every event. Function: Drive identifier This function helps find disks in the cage of your NAS server. In case of hardware RAID installed, the whole RAID array is shown as a single drive. In this case you may not be able to determine which drive unit is which disk when using S.M.A.R.T. tool or hardware RAID management tool (depends on manufacturer of RAID controller).
Function: Manager In this function you can manage the RAID array. Available operations: RAID 0: • construction of this RAID does not allow to manage it anyway. Every unit must not be Failed. If any would be the whole array would be destroyed. RAID 1: • To set unit as a Faulty one mark proper checkbox (in the column F) and click on Apply button. • To delete any unit from an array mark proper checkbox (in the column R) and click on Remove button.
to perform as few disk operations as possible. Status of syncing/rebuilding will be showed "live" - without need to refresh page manually.

(Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) is a monitoring system for computer hard disks to detect and report on various indicators of reliability, in the hope of anticipating failures. In order to enable S.M.A.R.T.
Disk notations: • S0,S1, ..., S[x] - every disk with S notation is one of SATA / JBOD / RAID units. • H0,H1, ..., H[x] - units with H letter are IDE units. • MD0,MD1, ..., MD[x] - this way are softRAIDs denoted. If the unit is already added, it can not be removed it in Web management. Units that are already used in a volume group can be made available again by using function Delete content of units under console (Ctrl+alt+x).
When you click on "start" button then the appropriate disk will start reading and you can determine which disk is it by watching "disk-activity LEDs". For proper operation of this function there should be no other activity on hard drives. Identification will stop automatically after one minute if you will not stop it before (by unsetting appropriate checkbox and applying form). Using this function during normal operation is not highly recommended and will cause of your server to slow down.
Function: Snapshot definition This function allows you to define parameters of every snapshot. You can set: • Logical Volume, which the snapshot will be taken for. • Schedule the time of automatic creation of the snapshot, if inactive - only manual snapshot activation is possible. • RO - the snapshot will be visible as a write protected disk. The Snapshot function of the server enables the system administrator to freeze the data content of the volume at a certain time.
• Go to menu CONFIGURATION NAS settings and select on which network protocol snapshots will be accessible. This need to be done only once. When creating access to snapshot on second time, this action is not necessary. You can activate access to snapshots on following protocols:, • NFS, • SMB(Network neighborhood), • FTP, • AFP.
LDAP administrator DN you should set previously entered base DN with prefix like "cn=admin," (CN - Common Name). Users should be stored in Organization Unit (ou) "People", groups in "Groups", and computers in "Computers". Sample organization can look like showed below: Windows (PDC) In this case NAS server will use Windows Primary Domain Controller user database for user authentication. This method can be used for NT4/2000/2003 servers.
• The KDC IP address must be taken from the same system as the Realm. • Enter administrator login and password. • Click "apply" to connect to Windows (ADS) domain. • Workgroup (NIS server) • Please choose this option in case user wants to use user/group database from Network Information Service server. 1. Workgroup name cannot begin/end with space and can not contain special characters like: ~!@#$^&()+[]{}*;:'".,%|<>?/\=` 2.
To establish a connection, the FTP client needs several pieces of data: IP address: 192.168.0.220 (this is the standard address) Port: 21 User: anonymous Password: 123. The allocation of access rights is done via the IP address of the PC currently in the process of accessing. A read access is, therefore, granted with these generally typical and anonymous login data.
This function allows you to edit SMB protocol specific parameters. There are several options you can change: Wins server IP If you have a WINS server on your network then you should set this to the WINS server's IP. Superuser Superuser is a user, who has permission to take ownership of folder and files which belong to other users. It can be useful when administrator want to change access right (ACL) for folder or file established by other users.
(uses acls) and/or Preserve system file attributes (uses acls) files are not visible, user can use command that will remove hidden attribute from files : attrib -S -H x:\*.* /s /d ,where: x network drive.
