4.2 Storage Manager Based on QNAP Flexible Volume Architecture, the Storage Manager provides a secure, flexible and comprehensive approach to manage data on your Turbo NAS and offers a number of great features such as storage pool, multiple RAID groups, thin provisioned volume, space reclaim, and online capacity expansion, etc. Those features can effectively protect your storage system and your valuable data.
Each layer is designed to cover an aspect of the storage system, and all four layers combined can achieve total protection for your storage system.
4.2.1 Dashboard O v e rv ie w There are three sections on the page: Volumes, Storage Pools and Disks. They are described below: Volumes: All available logic volumes, their capacity and type (Volume, LUN and Unused) are indicated in this section. Click "New Volume" to create new volumes and "Refresh" to refresh the list. For steps on creating volumes, please refer to the chapter on Volumes 50 . Storage Pools: The status and capacity usage of each storage pool are listed in this section.
period of time (from the last hour to the last year.) Select to view the storage usage rate of a particular volume or storage pool and specify the period. Click "Clear Record" to reset the utilization graph.
4.2.2 Storage Manage volumes, storage pools and hard disk drives, encrypt and decrypt file systems, and configure cache acceleration with Storage Manager.
4.2.2.1 Volum es Users can manage, monitor, create, or delete a logical volume on this page. C re a ting Ne w V olum e s Follow the steps below to create a new volume: 1. Click "New Volume" to launch the volume creation wizard. 2. Select "Quick" (more on the "Custom" option in the following section) and click "Next". 3. Select the enclosure unit, hard disk drive(s), RAID type and hot spare disk for the volume to be created and click "Next". 4. Click "Finish". 5.
Thick provisioning: This approach can instantly allocate physical storage space for the volume. Physical space will be created as soon as the space is allocated for the volume, and that space cannot be used by other volumes. A thick provisioned volume is usually more efficient for high frequency read/write activities. Because the space has been allocated for the volume, the predicament of insufficient physical space can be avoided, but the use of space is relatively inefficient.
The alert threshold is used to remind users when the capacity of a chosen volume is used up to the specified threshold level. A warning message will pop up when the specified threshold is reached. To set an alert threshold, select a volume, click "Set Threshold", enter the threshold level and click "Apply". The alert threshold is set. Creating new shared folders Follow the steps below to create a new shared folder: 1. Click "Create New Shared Folder". 2.
4.2.2.2 Storage Pools The Storage Pools feature is designed to aggregate physical hard disk drives into a large storage space and to provide enhanced RAID protection for it. This page lists available storage pools on the NAS, their details, associated RAID group (s), volumes and iSCSI LUNs. Users can create, remove and expand a new storage pool, set a threshold, manage RAID groups and create a new volume on this page. Note : The function or its content is only applicable to some models.
3. Select the hard drive(s) to expand the storage pool and click "Next". 4. Click "Expand". 5. Please note that all data on the selected hard disk drive(s) will be erased. Click "OK" if you are certain about this. 6. The chosen storage pool is expanded. Expanding storage pools by creating new RAID groups Follow the steps below to create a RAID group for storage pool expansion: 1. Select "Create a new RAID group" and click "Next". 2.
RAID 1 Disk Mirroring protects your data by automatically mirroring the Mirroring contents of one disk to the second disk in the mirrored pair. It provides protection in the event of a single disk failure. The storage capacity is equal to the capacity of the smallest single disk, as the second disk drive is used to back up the first disk drive. The RAID 1 configuration is suitable for storing sensitive data on a corporate or personal level.
RAID 6 The RAID 6 group is ideal for critical data protection needs. To create a RAID 6 group, a minimum of 4 hard disks are required. The total capacity of the RAID 6 group is equal to the size of the disk with the smallest capacity in the array times the number of (hard disks – 2). It is recommended (though not required) that only hard drives of the same brand and capacity are used to establish the most efficient hard drive capacity.
C onfiguring Ale rt Thre shold The alert threshold is used to remind users when the capacity of a chosen storage pool is used up to the specified threshold level. A warning message will pop up when the specified threshold level is reached. To set an alert threshold, select a storage pool, click "Set Threshold", enter the threshold level, and click "Apply". The alert threshold is set.
Migrating RAID configuration With this function, a RAID configuration can be migrated to a different RAID configuration. This option is supported for the following drive configurations: Migrating single drive to RAID 1; Migrating RAID 1 to RAID 5; Migrating RAID 5 to RAID 6. Please note that some apps need to be installed again (e.g. XDove.) Follow the steps below to migrate a RAID configuration: 1. Select a RAID group and click "Manage" > "Migrate". 2.
This function can recover failed RAID disk volumes from the "Inactive" status to the normal state (RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6 and RAID 10 will be recovered to the degraded mode; RAID 0 and JBOD will be recovered to the normal state.) Before recovering a failed disk volume, please confirm that all hard disks of that disk volume are properly seated in the NAS drive bays. Once recovery is completed, back up your data on the disk(s) immediately in case the disk volume fails again.
