3.3 Quick Install You can easily create a volume by using the “Quick install” function. On RAID levels 0, 1, 3, 5 and 6, the system will automatically calculate the maximum available capacity, which is subject to the number of your hard disks and currently available capacity. “Quick install” function features a smart program. When the system is installed with 4 or 8 identical hard disks, the system will automatically list all the available RAID levels and the total capacity.
3.4 System Config “System config” function allows you to configure “System name,” “IP address,” “SCSI,” “Login config,” Password,” ”Date,” “Mail,” “SNMP” and “Event log”. 3.4.1 System Name Select “System name” to change system name. The default System name is in accordance with the product name and serial number of the system. For example: S120-000001. 3.4.2 IP Address Select “IP address” to change the IP address for remote control page.
3.4.4 Login Config Select “Login config” to configure the time of single login and auto logout. Single login can prevent multiple users from simultaneously accessing the same data. 1. Auto logout: The options include (1) Disable (2) 5 min (3) 30 min (4) 1 hour. If a user idles after the specified time elapsed, the system will automatically logout to allow other users to login. 3.4.7 E-Mail Click “Mail” to input up to 3 E-mail addresses for receiving the event notification.
3.4.9 Event Log 3.5.1 Volume Relationship Diagram Click “Event log” to view the event messages. Click “Filter” to select the log type to be displayed. Click “Download” button to save the whole event log as a text file “qlog.txt”. Click “Clear” button to clear the whole event log. Click “Mute” button to stop system alerts. There are three methods to display the event log: “Show events” in the event log page, “Pop up events” in the pop-up window in the web page, and “Show on LCM” (SR5650).

3.5.4 • User Data Volume (UDV) UDV Operation Description: Enter the “User data volume” function to view the status of each user data volume ATTACH LUN Attach to a LUN CREATE Create a user data volume DELETE Delete a user data volume 3.5.5 Cache Volume (CV) Enter “Cache volume” function to view the status of cache volume The global cache volume is a default cache volume, which is automatically created after power on, and cannot be deleted. The size of global cache is based on the RAM size.
3.5.6 Logical Unit Number (LUN) Enter “Logical unit” function to view the status of attached logical unit number of each UDV • 1. Select “/ Volume config / Volume group”. 2. Click “ 3. Input a VG Name, then choose a RAID level from the list, click “ ”. ” to choose the RAID PD slot(s), then click “ “ 4. Confirm the results. Click “ ” if all the settings are correct. 5. OK. A VG has been created.
1. 2. 3. 4. Select a UDV Configure the bus ID, SCSI ID and the LUN to be attached to. Then click “ OK Repeat the steps above to create another UDV ” Figure 3.5.7.4 (Figure 3.5.7.4: Creating UDVs named “UDV-R5-1” and “UDV-R5-2”, related to “VG-R5”. The size of “UDV-R5-1” is 50GB and the size of “UDV-R5-2” is 98GB. The status of both UDVs is online, write-back, high priority with 427MB-sized cache memory. The complete percentage of the initialization of “UDV-R51” is 15%. There is no LUN attached.
Step 6 Detach LUN from UDV Enter “/ Volume config / Logical unit” Step 9 Free global spare disk To free global spare disks, please follow the steps below: 1. Select “/ Volume config / Physical disk” 2. Select the global spare disk by ticking the checkbox, then click “ free the disk(s) ” to Step 10 OK, all volumes have been deleted • Example 2 Example 2 is to create two UDVs in one VG. One UDV shares global cache volume while the other uses dedicated cache volume.
Step 2 Create VG (Volume Group) Please refer to Step 1 of Example 1 to create a VG Step 3 Create UDV (User Data Volume) Please refer to Step 2 of Example 1 to create a UDV. To create a UDV with dedicated cache volume, please follow the steps below: Figure 3.5.7.11 (Figure 3.5.7.11: In “/ Volume config / Cache volume”, “UDV-R5-2” uses dedicated cache memory with size 200MB.)

3.6 Enclosure Management “Enclosure management” function allows the administrator to manage the other related information, including “SAF-TE config”, “Hardware Monitor”, “S.M.A.R.T.” and “UPS” functions. To provide enclosure management, the system implements different sensors, such as temperature sensor, voltage sensor, hard disk sensor, fan sensor, power sensor and LED indicators. As these sensors come with different hardware characteristics, each requires different detection time as listed below: 1.
out of tolerance. The advanced notice of possible hard disk failure allows users to back up hard disk or replace the hard disk. This is much better than hard disk crash when it is writing data or rebuilding a failed hard disk. After you enter the “S.M.A.R.T.” function, the S.M.A.R.T. information will be displayed. The number is the current value and the number in parenthesis is the default threshold value. The threshold values are different according to hard disk vendors.

After upgrading, the system must reboot.
Chapter 4 4.1 Advanced Operation Rebuild In a VG that is set as protected by RAID level (e.g.: RAID 3, RAID 5, or RAID 6), if one physical disk has been failed, unplugged or removed, then, the VG status is changed. The system will search for available space to rebuild the data to ensure data integrity. It will use the dedicated spare disk as rebuild disk first, then the global spare disk. STARDOM SCSI Series Products support the Auto-Rebuild function.

C. Using Notices 1. In Microsoft Windows server 2003 or Windows XP, at least one LUN 0 must be configured for each SCSI ID. Otherwise the volume cannot be identified. Windows 2000 server doesn’t have this limitation. A: In Microsoft Windows server 2003 or Windows XP, add the LUN from LUN 0. 2. In Linux environment, there will be some problems in using Adapter SCSI Card 29320A-R and 39320A-R and the transfer rate cannot reach the Ultra 320 standard.
