  • Page 9: Unit Rack Installation & Removal

    After installing the rails, the Jupiter Callisto can be installed into the rack. The Jupiter Callisto is heavy even when no drives are installed. Never lift heavy equipment by yourself and always use proper lifting techniques. It is recommended that you remove all drives from the Jupiter Callisto before installing into or removing from a rack in order to avoid personal injury or damage to equipment.

    2.5 FAN FAILURE When one of the fans inside the Jupiter Callisto fails, the ‘Fans’ LED on the front of the unit will flash red and the remaining fans will ramp up to full speed to compensate. Contact OWC support for a replacement fan and for specific instructions on the replacement process.
  • Page 13: Initial Setup

    INITIAL SETUP 3.1 CONNECTION Once the Jupiter Callisto is installed in the rack, the next step is to connect it to the network. Refer to Section 1.5, Rear View for the connectors on the Jupiter Callisto. 1. Connect the Jupiter Callisto to power. Make sure to connect all of the power supplies (two modules for the 8-bay, three for the 16-bay).
  • Page 14: Accessing The Ipmi Interface

    To access the IPMI interface: 1. Connect to your network using the IPMI port on Jupiter Callisto (See Section 1.5). The IPMI port is set to DHCP in order to automatically receive a IP address from the network. These instructions assume that the network being connected to the IPMI port is serving IP addresses via DHCP.

    STORAGE CONFIGURATION 4.1 ZFS TERMINOLOGY In order to use Jupiter Callisto most effectively, it is important to have an understanding of the following terms and concepts relating to the ZFS file system and volume manager. Pool — Also known as ‘ZFS pool’ or ‘zpool’. A collection (or ‘pool’) of all of the virtual devices (vdevs) that have been configured for use.
  • Page 16: Storage Configuration

    4.2. 1 Creating the Pool To be able to use your Jupiter Callisto as a storage server, you must first create a pool. In simple terms, a pool is a collection of all of the drives and RAID sets attached to the Jupiter Callisto. To create a pool, go to the ‘Storage’ tab, then click on the ‘...
  • Page 17: Optimal Raidz Configurations

    Give your filesystem a name, then create it by clicking the ‘ A dd Filesystem’ button. There are advanced settings that you can modify, including compression, deduplication, quotas, and reserved space, but if you are unfamiliar with these options, it is best to leave them at their defaults. OWC JUPITER CALLISTO STORAGE CONFIGURATION...
  • Page 18: Creating A Zvol

    Give the zvol a name, then click on ‘ A dd zvol’ to create the zvol. Note that unlike a filesystem, a zvol does need to have a specific size. 4.3 DRIVE IDENTIFICATION In order to view the drives installed in the Callisto, click on the ‘View Disks’ button inside the ‘Storage’ tab (see Figure 4.3a). Figure 4.3a OWC JUPITER CALLISTO STORAGE CONFIGURATION...

    4.4 DRIVE FAILURE & REPLACEMENT In the event of a drive failure, the Jupiter Callisto will send an alert email to the administrator (see Section 3.2, First Time Configuration for information on setting the administrator email address). In order to identify the failed drive, first go to ‘Volume Status’...

    To create a group, click on ‘ A ccount’ in the sidebar to expand the category, then click on ‘Groups’ to expand it. After that, click on ‘ A dd Group to open the following window (Figure 5.1). Figure 5.1 Give the new group a name, then click ‘OK’ to create the group. OWC JUPITER CALLISTO USERS, GROUPS, & PERMISSIONS...
  • Page 23: Creating A User

    Every pool, filesystem, and network share that you create has a set of permissions associated with it. These permissions tell the Jupiter Callisto which users and groups are allowed to read, write, and execute files. These permissions are represented by an ACL (Access Control List), which looks like this (Figure 5.3): Figure 5.3...
  • Page 24: Shares

    After configuring storage, users, groups, and permissions, the next step is to set up shares. There are three types of file sharing protocols supported by Jupiter Callisto: AFP, CIFS (SMB), and NFS. AFP sharing is a good idea if all client computers are Macs®...

    You can also open this window using the keyboard shortcut command+K. In the ‘Connect to Server’ window, enter ‘nfs://’ , followed by the complete file path of the nfs share on the Jupiter Callisto, including the IP address. For example, if the IP address of your Callisto is 192. 1 68.0. 1 15 and the path to your shared filesystem is /mnt/pool/callisto, then the complete address that you will enter is: nfs://192.168.0.115/mnt/pool/callisto...
