Using SnapServer Manager

SnapServer Manager (SSM) is a Java-based, platform-independent, multiserver
administrative application that runs on all major platforms. SSM provides a single
interface from which administrators can discover, configure, and monitor all GuardianOS
SnapServers on their network. With SSM, administrators can compare, copy, and configure
settings for groups of GuardianOS SnapServers in a single operation.

New Functionality
DynamicRAID simplifies storage management and
provides additional configuration options not available in
Traditional RAID. A SnapServer can be purchased with any
amount of initial storage (or number of drives), and more
capacity can be added over time by inserting or replacing
drives and incorporating the new drive(s) via the Web
Management Interface (see
page 4-3 for DynamicRAID and
RAID" on page 5-11). Volumes can be added and removed
at will, and all volumes share the same underlying pool of
storage. The appliance can also be run in Traditional RAID
mode to allow more direct control over storage
configuration.
The appliance can also be run in Traditional RAID mode to
allow support for older, limited systems.
See also Appendix A, "DynamicRAID Overview."
This supports volumes over 16TB. This also supports
individual disk drives over 2TB.
Interface features an Enable Write Cache checkbox to
allow modification of the write cache setting of an existing
iSCSI disk.
