Managing System Storage

The NAS administrator uses Disk Management to manage volumes, and
Shadow Copies to manage snapshots. See the following chapters for more
detailed information on managing system storage:

procedures
•
Chapter 4 discusses snapshot (shadow copy) management
procedures
•
Chapter 6 discusses folder and share management procedures
2.5.

Creating and Managing Users and Groups

User and group information and permissions determine whether a user can
access files. If the NAS appliance is deployed into a workgroup environment,
this user and group information is stored locally on the device. By contrast, if
the NAS device is deployed into a domain environment, user and group
information is stored on the domain usually the Primary Domain Controller.
To enter local user and group information, see Chapter 5.
2.2.1. Joining Workgroup & Domain
These are the two system environments for users and groups. Because
users and groups in a domain environment are managed through standard
Windows or Active Directory domain administration methods, this document
discusses only local users and groups, which are stored and managed on
the storage server. For information on managing users and groups on a
domain, see the domain documentation available on the Microsoft web site.

Creating and Managing File Shares

Files shares must be set up, granting and controlling file access to users and
groups. See Chapter 6 for complete information on managing file shares.
UNIX specific information is discussed in the "Microsoft Services for NFS"
chapter.

Tandberg Data highly recommends that you run Microsoft Windows updates
to identify, review, and install the latest, applicable, critical security updates
on the storage server.
