Overview of NAS Storage Pools, Volumes, and Shares Storage Pools Volumes and Shares Naming Considerations Create a NAS Storage Pool...
Page 81: Storage Pools
When creating a new NAS pool, keep the following in mind: • Each storage pool requires a minimum of one drive. Spectra Logic recommends using eight drives or more in a storage pool to reduce the impact of the overhead. Overhead is the space on the storage pool used to store parity data, and not used for data storage.
Page 82 Chapter 3 - Configuring Network Attached Storage Create a NAS Storage Pool Use the following steps to create a new NAS storage pool. 1. From the menu bar, select Configuration > NAS > Pools, or click the Pools pane on the Dashboard.
Page 83 Chapter 3 - Configuring Network Attached Storage Create a NAS Storage Pool 2. Select Action > New. A dialog box opens to show the default configuration options for the new pool. Note: The Storage Pool Preview pane does not display until you have selected the disks you want to use in the storage pool Figure 45 The New Pool dialog box.
Page 84 Notes: • The combined storage pool and volume name must be 78 characters or fewer. To avoid problems sharing volumes, Spectra Logic recommends a pool name of 32 characters or fewer. • Each pool name must be unique. This field is case sensitive. Only the following special characters are allowed: hyphen (-), underscore (_), colon (:), and period(.).
Page 85 Chapter 3 - Configuring Network Attached Storage Create a NAS Storage Pool For this option..Do the following... Select Protection Use the radio buttons to select the protection level for the pool. Only one Level option can be selected. Use the Storage Pool Preview information to compare the fault tolerance and required overhead for each configuration.
Page 86: Create A Volume
Chapter 3 - Configuring Network Attached Storage Create a Volume REATE A OLUME Before you begin using a disk pool to store data, you must create one or more volumes to organize how the information is stored on the pool. After you create a volume, you can share the volume using NFS or CIFS, but not both.
Page 87 Chapter 3 - Configuring Network Attached Storage Create a Volume 2. Select Action > New. The New Volume dialog box displays. Figure 47 The New Volume dialog box. 3. Configure the volume as required for your environment. For this option..Do the following... Name Enter a name for the new volume.

If there are multiple disk pools configured on the solution, use the drop-down menu to select the Pool where you want to create the volume.
Page 89: Create A Share
Configure the Data Connection on page 71. Create a CIFS Share Spectra Logic recommends using Active Directory to control access to CIFS shares on the BlackPearl NAS solutions. To do this, continue with Join an Active Directory Domain, below. However, if your Windows operating system environment does not use Active Directory, you can enable local administrator status on the solution to allow a specified user to access the CIFS shares in a Windows workgroup environment.
Page 90 Chapter 3 - Configuring Network Attached Storage Create a Share Join an Active Directory Domain If your Windows environment uses Active Directory, you must join an Active Directory domain before creating a CIFS share. See Configure the Active Directory Service on page 143 for more information.

Page 210 Chapter 9 - Troubleshooting and Support Network Setup Tips Link Aggregation Notes Switches use different methods of routing traffic from hosts to NAS servers. There are also many different network configurations to move data from hosts to NAS servers. For example, some Cisco switches route traffic based on the MAC address and the IP address.
Page 211 Chapter 9 - Troubleshooting and Support Network Setup Tips For example, if only a single host is connected to the BlackPearl NAS solution through a link aggregated connection, the measured performance is lower than the potential maximum transfer rate because only one physical port of the two port link aggregation is being utilized by the switch.

Chapter 9 - Troubleshooting and Support Network Setup Tips Troubleshooting Port Link LED Does Not Light • Check the port configuration on the network switch. The BlackPearl NAS solution only supports auto-negotiation. Make sure the switch is configured to match speeds on both ends of the connection.
