chap1.fm Page 22 Thursday, May 15, 2003 4:33 PM Setup and Configuration Overview Setting up systems is a well-defined process. This section is intended as an overview of the process, not a detailed list of step-by-step instructions. Step-by-step procedures are documented in the administration guide. Some of the steps are driven by wizards within the WebUI. In either type of setup, it is important to read all of the supplied documentation before starting.
chap1.fm Page 23 Thursday, May 15, 2003 4:33 PM Storage Management Overview This section provides an overview of the components that make up the NAS storage structure. A complete discussion of the components and their relationships is available in the administration guide. Caution: This section on storage management and Windows LDM is required reading material for the NAS administrator.
chap1.fm Page 24 Thursday, May 15, 2003 4:33 PM Persistent Storage Management Elements Persistent Storage Manager lets the administrator make replicas of disks, called snapshots. Snapshots enable the creation of multipurpose logical replicas of production data without having to physically copy the data. They can be used to immediately recover a lost file or directory, to test a new application with realistic data without affecting the “real” data, and to serve as a source of data for backups.
chap1.fm Page 25 Thursday, May 15, 2003 4:33 PM File System Elements File system elements are composed of the folders and subfolders that are created under each logical storage element (partitions, logical disks, and volumes). Folders are used to further subdivide the available file system providing another level of granularity for management of the information space. Each of these folders can contain separate permissions and share names that can be used for network access.
