Page 57: Storage
Storage. What is iSCSI? iSCSI. is Internet. SCSI., an IP-based storage networking standard which maps SCSI blocks into Ethernet. packets, developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Basically, the iSCSI protocol is a method for transporting low latency SCSI blocks across IP networks.
Page 58: Iscsi Name
iSCSI. Name An iSCSI. Name is used by the Initiator. and Target. for locating storage resource and storage resource allocation. The iSCSI Name also is used to identify which initiator has access to which target resource. Zoning. Zoning. allows the administrator to limit access to storage nodes to certain initiators only. This is to help minimize risk of file system corruption.
Page 59: Step 2 : Create A Storage Pool

Page 60: Step 4 : Assign A San Target
Step 4 : Assign a SAN Target A SAN. Target. (such as a volume located in the Storage. Appliance.) is any device that responds to and communicates with the iSCSI. initiator, via the TCP./IP and the iSCSI protocols. Step Action Make sure that you are logged into the Storage.
Page 61: Step 7 : Log Onto The Target From The Server
Step 7 : Log Onto the Target from the server Note: The following instruction is an example of how to configure your iSCSI Initiator. You must follow the instructions for your specific iSCSI initiator if yours differs from the iSCSI Initiator used in this example. Step Description From the application server, open the Microsoft Initiator.

Page 63 Step Description The Status of the Target. is now Connected. If you are using a different initiator (list of supported initiators is available from AMI), then the procedure will differ according to that particular software/hardware’s specifications. The procedure to log on will also differ if you are using selective access to the LUN, for example, CHAP or persistent targets option.
Page 64: Step 8 : Verify The Target Using Disk Management On The Server
Step 8 : Verify the target using Disk Management on the server Step Description Open. Disk Management from the Computer Management utility in your Microsoft Windows operating system hosting your initiator software. The Target. is listed as one of the local disks and can be initialized and formatted as if it were a local hard disk drive.
Page 65: Step 9 : Create Nas Volume
Step 9 : Create NAS Volume A NAS. Volume. is a file-level volume. This volume can be assigned a greater size than the actual physical size of the storage device. For example, if the storage device has an actual physical size of 500 GB, the user can assign a virtual size of up to 8 TB. Based on the consumption of the storage device’s physical capacity, more physical drive capacity can then be added later.
Page 66: Step 10 : Create A Nas Share

Page 67: Step 11 : Schedule Snapshots
Step 11 : Schedule Snapshots A snapshot service gives you a nearly instantaneous virtual copy of your storage volume with no interruption of service. The underlying backup technology creates an instantaneous copy of the data being backed up. This is typically accomplished by splitting a mirrored set of disks or creating a copy of a disk block when it is written, preserving the original.

Page 93: Appendix Araid
Appendix A RAID. Introduction to RAID RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is an array of multiple independent hard disk drives that provide high performance and fault tolerance. A RAID disk subsystem improves I/O (input/output) performance over a system using only a single hard disk drive.
Page 94: Raid Overview
RAID Overview RAID is a collection of specifications that describes a system for ensuring the reliability and stability of data stored on large hard disk drive subsystems. A RAID system can be implemented in a number of different versions (or RAID Levels). The standard RAID levels are 0, 1, 3, and 5.
Page 95: Disk Mirroring
Disk Mirroring With mirroring (used in RAID 1), data written to one hard disk drive is simultaneously written to another hard disk drive. If one hard disk drive fails, the contents of the other hard disk drive can be used to run the system and regenerate the failed hard disk drive. The primary advantage of disk mirroring is that it provides 100% data redundancy.
Page 96: Selecting A Raid Level
Selecting a RAID Level There are six official RAID levels (RAID 0 through RAID 5). The StorTrends® iTX Software supports RAID levels 0, 1, and 5. Note: Your hardware may contain a controller that supports RAID 10, RAID 50, RAID 1n and RAID 10n.
Page 97: Raid 0
RAID 0 RAID 0 provides disk striping across all hard disk drives in the volume. RAID 0 does not provide any data redundancy, but does offer the best performance of any RAID level. RAID 0 breaks up data into smaller blocks and then writes a block to each hard disk drive in the volume.
Page 98: Raid 5
RAID 5 RAID 5 includes disk striping at the byte level and parity. In RAID 5, the parity information is written to several hard disk drives. RAID 5 is best suited for networks that perform a lot of small I/O transactions simultaneously. RAID 5 addresses the bottleneck issue for random I/O operations.
Page 99: Raid 50
RAID 50 RAID 50 provides the features of both RAID 0 and RAID 5. RAID 50 includes both parity and disk striping across multiple drives. RAID 50 is best implemented on two RAID 5 disk arrays with data striped across both disk arrays. RAID 50 breaks up data into smaller blocks, and then stripes the blocks of data to each RAID 5 raid set.
Page 100: Raid 10N
RAID 10n “RAID n” arrays are arrays that support multiple redundancies. RAID 10n supports a minimum of six disks and supports a maximum of 32 disks. RAID 10n stripes multiple n-way mirror sets. RAID 10n allows multiple hard disk drive failures per mirror set, up to n-1 failures in each mirror set that has been striped, where n is the number of hard disk drives in each mirror set.
Page 101: Appendix Bchap And Mutual Chap
Appendix B CHAP. and Mutual CHAP Overview. StorTrends Software supports Challenge Handshake Authentication. Protocol. (CHAP.). CHAP is a type of peer authentication protocol that basically uses a predefined Target. Secret to calculate a unique hash value. This unique hash value is only sent once to authenticate.
Page 102: Mutual Chap Authentication
Mutual CHAP authentication Mutual CHAP Prerequisites • host device • client machine with latest MS Initiator. • iSNS. server box (can be same as Initiator. machine) Setting up Mutual CHAP Step Description Install the latest build of the StorTrends software. Configure at least one local user (minimum of 12 characters in password) and a Volume.
