2. Operation The Hard Disk Installation: Sway from side to side the lock, and pull the doorknob to insert 1 or 2 hard disk. Close the doorknob and the installation will be completed (This step will be presented in terms of following graphs) Note: Sway from side to side the lock at the instructed point, which you could open the doorknob to install/ unload the hard disk. In contrast, when you sway from side to side the lock at the instructed point, you might not open it.
Connect to the computer host through USB or eSATA, and turn on the power (Instruction will be presented in the following graph) AC 90V-240V USB E-SATA eSATA Port to PC host USB Port to PC host to AC90-240V Connect to the computer host through USB or eSATA, and turn on the power. (Instruction will be presented in the following graphs) Turn on the switch of RAID0, LED would keep bright, and the host would be entering the RAID1 active status.
LED condition: Switch on power and insert two HD in terms of different working patterns. PATTERN RAID0 RAID1 JBOD BIG Self-checking of HDD Data transmission The HDD1and the HDD2 LED glitter by alternate blue & red lights. LED presents the blue light as selfchecking finishing. Under the data transmission: The HDD1 and the HDD2 LED glitter with purple light. LED presents blue lights when the data transmission finishing. The HDD1and the HDD2 LED glitter by alternate blue& red lights.
Attention: 1. If you use two HDD simultaneously and discover that the LED1 or LED2 glittering by alternate blue & red lights for a long time. Please check and see whether the HDD has installed correctly or not. 2. If you use two HDD simultaneously, and the HDD is damaged under RAID0, JBOD, and BIG patterns. The data in the HDD would lose. Under the RAID1 pattern, you may consider to take out the damaged HDD and replace it with a formatted HDD.
Click “Disks Management” plan: Right pop-up The additional disks (H :) and the additional disks (I :)' menus, choose “Delete disk segmentation”. Click “Segmentation additional disks”, followed by a clew to operate 2.1.2 BIG MODE The two drives were connected to the products HDD1 and HDD2 Connector. USB&Power Cable were connected; Opening the power switch, pulling MODE switch to BIG and press RESET switch, after a few seconds, the computer will automatically capture USB devices.
2.1.3 RAID0/FAST MODE The two drives were connected to the products HDD1 and HDD2 Connector. USB&Power Cable were connected; Opening the power switch, pulling MODE switch to RAID0 and press RESET switch, after a few seconds, the computer will automatically capture USB devices and increased 1 drive(If not drive there, then the hard disk drive management will re-zoning which format),At the moment you can Operate the disk.
2.1.4 RAID1/SAFE The two drives were connected to the products HDD1 and HDD2 Connector; USB&Power Cable were connected; Opening the power switch, pulling MODE switch to RAID1 and press RESET switch, after a few seconds, the computer will automatically capture USB devices and increased 2 drives(If not drive there, then the hard disk drive management will re-zoning which format),At the moment you can Operate the disk.
2.1.5 Partitioning Volumes This section explains how to partition volumes after configuring them in the SteelVine Manager GUI. You must partition volumes for the host computer's operating system before you can store data on the volumes. Refer to the operating system's documentation for further guidance. Partition a Volume MS Windows Important: Before reconfiguring a volume, back up your data and delete previously defined SteelVine Storage Reference Design partitions.
Every disk should appear with the word “Basic”, a size value that shows the available storage capacity, and a status of “Online”. Instead of Basic, a disk could appear Unknown, Dynamic, or Not Initialized. If the disk appears as “Unknown”, right-click the disk icon and select Write Signature. A window opens with the selected disk (all Unknown disks may appear in this window). Make sure the box next to each disk is checked and click OK. The disk should now be marked as a Basic disk.
6. Specify the partition size. By default, the partition occupies the entire volume. Click Next. 7. Assign a drive letter or mount path and click Next.
8. Name and format the partition and click Next. 9. Review the file system settings and click Finish to create the logical partition. Mac OS X Important: Before reconfiguring a volume, back up your data and drag the old drive to the trash to un-mount previously defined SteelVine Storage Reference Design partition. If no hard drives are connected to the Storage Appliance, the SteelVine Processor disk (8.0 GB Config Disk Media) will appear. Do not remove or modify that partition.
5. Select Mac OS Extended (journaled) from the Format drop-down list. 6. Specify the size of the partition in the Size field. 7. Click the Partition button. 8. Click Partition to acknowledge the warning. Disk Utility mounts the created partition and represents it with an icon on the desktop. The icon is labeled with the partition name. 2.2 eSATA interface the methods of operation with the USB interface. 3. NOTE : 1.
specifications online: Serial ATA: High Speed Serialized AT Attachment, Revision 1.0a Serial ATA II: Extensions to Serial ATA 1.0a, Revision 1.1 Serial ATA II: Port Multiplier, Revision 1.1 The Serial ATA web site is http://www.serialata.org/. USB Features The 1328-SIL5744 provides the following Universal Serial Bus (USB) features: USB 1.0 and USB 2.
It is also possible to create a BIG volume using only a single hard disk drive connected to Port 0, and then increase the storage capacity of the volume later by adding another hard disk drive to Port 1 and pressing the Mode Change pushbutton. The new disk blocks of Port 1 will be concatenated to the end of the disk blocks of Port 0, and any data that is stored on the existing BIG volume will be preserved.
SAFE(RAID1) The SAFE storage policy stores all data in duplicate on separate drives to protect against data loss due to drive failure. One drive mirrors the other at all times, equivalent to RAID 1. Every write operation goes to both drives. SAFE provides the highest level of data protection for critical data that you cannot afford to lose if a hard drive fails, but halves the amount of storage capacity because all data must be stored twice.
Perform similar volume management activities, but those products are very sophisticated and are not included in this manual. Procedure Before you can use DiskPart.exe commands on a hard drive disk partition/volume, you must first list and then select the partition/volume to extend their capacity to match the virtual hard drives created in the SteelVine Manager GUI. 1. Open a command prompt window by clicking Start --Run, then entering "cmd" 2. At a command prompt, type diskpart. 3.
The result of extending the hard disk partition/volume is illustrated below. Before extend: 2. At a command prompt, type diskpart. Note: Before the hard drive partition/volume has been extended the “152.67GB Unallocated” was not accessible for data usage. After using the disk part utility to extend the hard drive partition/volume capacity, the Windows host side matches the virtual hard drive partition/volume created in the SteelVine Manager 4.4.
3. Now click on the Resize button on the bottom 4. Now move the slider all the way to the right within the Resize dialog box. (Maximum resize) Once you click on Start, it will execute the volume resize request. The new storage capacity will be added to the existing drive while maintaining the data on the volume. 4.4.
Partition that was created in JBOD Storage Policy to a BIG Storage Policy disk. GNU Parted easily organizes your hard drive by creating, resizing, copying your partitions on a Linux system. There are other third-party products are available to perform similar volume management activities, but those products are very sophisticated and are not included in this manual. Procedure Growing partition/volume with GNU Parted: To extend a volume, follow these steps: 1. Start parted by typing parted /dev/hdc.
