  • Page 37: Chapter 2 Snapserver Storage Configuration

    Configuration Note The SnapServer 110 is a single disk server that does not support RAID configurations other than the default RAID 0. The SnapServer 210 is a two-disk server that supports RAID 0 and RAID 1. Discussions in this chapter of RAID 5, RAID 6, and RAID 10 configurations and global hot spares only apply to SnapServers with four (4) or more drives.
  • Page 38: Changing The Default Storage Configuration

    Changing the Default Storage Configuration Approximately 20% of the default RAID is available for snapshot space and 80% of the default RAID is assigned to the primary data volume. For example, to calculate the capacity of a SnapServer 520 with 1 TB total capacity in its default state, consider both the hardware and software configuration: •...

Click Changing the RAID Configuration The default RAID configuration can be easily changed by removing the existing...
  • Page 40 Changing the Default Storage Configuration Adding Capacity to a SnapServer with Expansion Arrays When adding an expansion array, a RAID must be created on the expansion array and a volume created before utilizing the storage space. The existing volume on the host SnapServer can be extended to provide more capacity for network users in a seamless fashion, or a new volume can be created to host data.
  • Page 41: Configuring Email Notification, Task Scheduling, And Security

    Configuring Email Notification, Task Scheduling, and Security Configuring Email Notification, Task Scheduling, and Security After configuring the basic storage structure on the SnapServer, administrators should enable event notification, schedule data protection tasks, and configure security for user-accessible shares. The online help provides details and procedures for configuring these tasks.
  • Page 42: Configuring Share And Folder Security

    Configuring Email Notification, Task Scheduling, and Security Configuring Share and Folder Security SnapServers support file access in Windows, UNIX, and Apple networks, as well as access via FTP and HTTP. Although the GuardianOS runs on an optimized Linux kernel and has many Linux characteristics, the cross-platform features make it very different than a pure Linux distribution.
  • Page 43 Configuring Email Notification, Task Scheduling, and Security Directory Permissions GuardianOS supports two “personalities” of file system security on files and directories: • UNIX: Traditional UNIX permissions ( ) for owner, group owner, and other. • Windows ACLs: Windows NTFS-style file system permissions. Introduced in GuardianOS 5.0, Windows ACLs fully support the semantics of NTFS ACLs, including configuration, enforcement, and inheritance models (not including the behavior of some built-in Windows users and groups).
  • Page 44: Unicode

    Migrating Data to the SnapServer SnapTrees SnapTrees are directories that can be configured for the Windows/Mixed or UNIX security model. SnapTrees make a specific directory structure follow the rules of the specified security model, which indicates which file permission personality will be present on files by default, and whether that personality can be changed by users when changing permissions.

    Chapter 3 Optional Backup Software This section describes SnapServer support for backup software included with the SnapServer and third-party backup solutions. Enabling Unicode on the server will limit some backup applications’ ability to function with the SnapServer. Refer to the online help on the SnapServer for more information on Unicode.
  • Page 48: Integrated Backup Options

    Integrated Backup Options Snapshots configured on the SnapServer 650 ensure that the file system back up is internally consistent and complete. NetVault backs up data from these snapshots to a local SCSI-attached tape device for off-site storage. Integrated Backup Options A wide variety of data management and backup applications are included or available for GuardianOS-powered SnapServers.

    Use only qualified components purchased from an authorized Overland Storage reseller to service SnapServer storage products. Qualified means that Overland Storage technicians have tested and verified that the component operates properly with the SnapServer and other network components. Failure to use qualified components may seriously impact data availability, potentially lead to data loss and corruption, and will void your warranty.
