If your server appliance is a member of Windows NT 4 domain, a Microsoft Active Directory, or a workgroup, the DNS suffix is dependent upon the domain environment. Including hyphens and periods, a DNS suffix may contain up to 155 characters. The MaxAttach NAS 6000 supports automatic DNS entry into an ADS domain. If you are using a Windows NT 4.

By default, the NetWare name will be the server appliance name with _FPNW appended to it.
PAGE 74
MaxAttach NAS 6000 Administration Guide Chapter #3 - Overview - Microsoft Windows O/S Version 2.0 Network Configuration Name Resolution Systems Windows networking components rely on the NetBIOS naming convention. In contrast, TCP/IP components rely on a naming convention known as the Domain Name System (DNS). Under Windows, the DNS host name of your server appliance defaults to the same name as the NetBIOS computer name.
PAGE 75
MaxAttach NAS 6000 Administration Guide Chapter #3 - Overview - Microsoft Windows O/S Version 2.0 Network Configuration The system administrator creates either a text file for DNS names, called a HOSTS file, or an LMHOSTS file for NetBIOS names, and enters each computer's name and IP address. The file is then distributed on the network. When a request for a connection to another computer is made, the file is used to resolve the name with the correct IP address.
PAGE 76
MaxAttach NAS 6000 Administration Guide Chapter #3 - Overview - Microsoft Windows O/S Version 2.0 Network Configuration NetBIOS LMHOSTS Tab The use of an LMHOSTS file is optional. If an LMHOSTS file is not used, however, you cannot use friendly text names. Instead, you must use IP addresses. This can be a disadvantage because Web sites on the Internet usually use the DNS. If you register a domain name for your Web site, users can contact your Web site by typing its domain name in a browser.

PAGE 78
MaxAttach NAS 6000 Administration Guide Chapter #3 - Overview - Microsoft Windows O/S Version 2.0 Network Configuration Interfaces Page - IP Link Each computer on the network must have a unique IP address to send and receive data. You can use the IP Address Configuration page to have your server appliance automatically obtain the IP address configuration from the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. Alternately, you can configure the IP address(es) manually.
PAGE 79
MaxAttach NAS 6000 Administration Guide Chapter #3 - Overview - Microsoft Windows O/S Version 2.0 Network Configuration Interfaces Page - DNS Link The domain-name system (DNS) is a static, hierarchical name service for TCP/IP hosts. The network administrator configures the DNS with a list of host names and IP addresses. This allows users on the network to query the DNS to specify remote systems by host names rather than IP addresses.

MaxAttach NAS 6000 Administration Guide Chapter #11 - Appendix - Disk Array RAID Concepts RAID 0 Striping RAID 0 Striping Description RAID 0 is a performance oriented striped data mapping technique across two or more drives. Uniformly sized blocks of storage are assigned in regular sequence to all of an array's disks. The controller divides incoming data into as many chunks as there are drives and then writes that data across independent disks. The writing technique is called “striping.
PAGE 279
MaxAttach NAS 6000 Administration Guide Chapter #11 - Appendix - Disk Array RAID Concepts RAID 1 Mirroring RAID 1 Mirroring Description In RAID 1 mirroring, the RAID controller totally duplicates the data writes on two drives at once, providing 100% data redundancy. If one drive fails, the second drive carries on as before with reads and writes until a replacement drive can be added for a data restore. RAID 1 has been used longer than any other form of RAID.

Two arrays of striped disks are created. The controller then creates a mirror of the striped array. This technique is used in the MaxAttach NAS 6000 O/S images on drives C:\ and D:\.

PAGE 282
MaxAttach NAS 6000 Administration Guide Chapter #11 - Appendix - Disk Array RAID Concepts RAID 5 Multiple Disk Striping with Distributed Parity Performance Each of the drives is used to store the parity bit, greatly reducing any impact on performance. This can speed small writes in multiprocessing systems. By distributing parity across all of the array's member disks, RAID 5 reduces but does not eliminate the write bottleneck. The performance for reads tends to be lower than for other RAID options.

Administrators control the functions and configuration of the disk arrays using the Global Array Manager (GAM) Server/Client application.

MaxAttach NAS 6000 Administration Guide Chapter #11 - Appendix - Disk Array RAID Concepts Maxtor MaxAttach NAS 6000 RAID Operations and the GAM After the failed drive has been exchanged for a new drive, the administrator must use the GAM to rebuild the affected array and incorporate the new drive. Once initiated by the administrator, the rebuild process will proceed in the background with some load on system performance. A full rebuild of a six disk array takes between five and seven hours.

MaxAttach NAS 6000 Administration Guide Chapter #11 - Appendix - Disk Array RAID Concepts Comparison of Terms Comparison of Terms A variety of terms are used to define disks and volumes. One problem exists in that Microsoft, Mylex, and common terminology use slightly differing definitions of these terms. The table below summarizes the various terms with additional discussion below.

MaxAttach NAS 6000 Administration Guide Chapter #12 - Appendix - SNMP SNMP Management System SNMP Management System The SNMP management system, also called the management console, sends information and update requests to an SNMP agent across the network. Any computer running SNMP management software is an SNMP management system. The management software application does not need to run on the same host as the SNMP agent.

MaxAttach NAS 6000 Administration Guide Chapter #12 - Appendix - SNMP Management Information Base Management Information Base SNMP agents collect information in a database called a Management Information Base, or MIB. Microsoft has defined database structures for its servers in which its SNMP services collect a wide variety of information. In addition, MaxAttach NAS units have an additional set of unique MIB variables developed specifically for the MaxAttach NAS system.
