  • Page 29: Hp Nas 8000 Concepts

    HP NAS 8000 Concepts Understanding Physical and Logical Storage The storage space on your NAS 8000 is made up of physical storage and logical storage. Before you begin planning your storage, you need to understand these concepts. Physical storage is the hardware used for data storage. The physical storage components of the NAS 8000 are the disk drives.
  • Page 30: Physical Storage

    HP NAS 8000 Concepts Physical Storage Disk Drives The NAS 8000 supports the following storage devices either directly attached to the NAS 8000 or on a SAN: Virtual Array (VA) 7100 is a disk storage system that holds from 4 to 15 disk drives.
  • Page 31: Logical Storage

    HP NAS 8000 Concepts Logical Storage The NAS 8000 lets you set up your storage into these logical divisions. Logical Unit Number A logical unit number (LUN) is a logical aggregation of the space on one or more physical drives. The NAS 8000 supports a maximum of 127 LUNs. Volume Groups A volume group is the aggregation of one or more LUNs.
  • Page 32: Understanding High Availability

    HP NAS 8000 Concepts Understanding High Availability Note: This section applies only if you have a high-availability NAS solution. High availability systems are designed to avoid a loss of service by reducing or managing failures and minimizing downtime. High availability implies a service level in which both planned and unplanned downtime is minimized.
  • Page 33: Active/Active Failover Model

    HP NAS 8000 Concepts Active/Active Failover Model In this model: Both NAS servers provide simultaneous access to storage. Each NAS server maintains separate file systems, CIFS shares, and NFS exports. The NAS servers do not provide shared access to the same volumes and file systems simultaneously.
  • Page 34: Failover Packages

    HP NAS 8000 Concepts Failover Packages In order to implement a shared-nothing resource model, the storage must be divided up into separate, stand alone units that can be served by all the nodes in the cluster and that can move from one node to another. These units of storage and their associated resources are called failover packages.
  • Page 35: Eliminating Single Points Of Failure

    HP NAS 8000 Concepts Eliminating Single Points of Failure Most problems that result in service outages are single-level failures. High-availability lets you quickly detect and handle these failures and minimize downtime. Examples of single-level failures include: NIC failures NFS failure SMB failure Operating system failure Power failure...
  • Page 36: About Hp Nas Server Security

    HP NAS 8000 Concepts About HP NAS Server Security Two basic ways to ensure the security of the NAS server are to: Control access to the device and its files through user authentication and file permissions. Set an administrative password to ensure that only authorized users gain access to key administrative functions Note: The administrative password is also used for the Insight Manager tool, which lets...
  • Page 37 HP NAS 8000 Concepts In your network, you might use a Network Information Service (NIS) server to help you maintain common configuration files such as the password, group, and host files. If your environment uses a NIS server, you can enable NIS. The NAS server then maintains the same UID and GID numbers that your UNIX users are currently assigned in a heterogeneous environment.

  • Page 39: User Level (Domain) Security

    HP NAS 8000 Concepts User Level (Domain) Security With user-level security, the client accessing the NAS server passes the credentials of the logged-on user to the NAS server system transparently. The NAS server in turn queries the Primary Domain Controller (PDC) or Backup Domain Controller (BDC) to authenticate the user.

  • Page 41: About Integrated Lights-Out (Ilo)

    HP NAS 8000 Concepts About Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) The iLO is a management chip embedded in the NAS 8000’s server. The server’s primary NIC is dedicated to the iLO. The iLO features are accessed from a network client using a web browser. This allows an administrator to fully control the host server’s display (with keyboard and mouse control) from a remote location, regardless of the state of the host server or the host server’s operating system.

    glossary Glossary This glossary defines terms used in this guide or related to this product. Access Control List (ACL) Glossary A persistent list that enumerates the rights of principals (e.g., users and groups of users) to access resources. Often used in file system context to denote a persistent list maintained by a file system and defining user and group permissions for file and directory access.
  • Page 252 Glossary CIFS (Common Internet File System) A network file system access protocol originally designed and implemented by Microsoft Corporation under the name Server Message Block (SMB) protocol, and primarily used by Windows clients to communicate file access requests to Windows servers. Today, other implementations of the CIFS protocol allow other clients and servers to use it for intercommunication and interoperation with Microsoft operating systems.
  • Page 253 Glossary Domain (TCP/IP) An alphanumeric representation of an association of computers. (For example, hp.com. com is a top level domain and hp is a second level domain. Domain Name Service (DNS) Server A server that translates domain names (such as hp.com) into IP addresses (such as 15.12.255.67). If you have multiple DNS servers on your network, and one DNS server cannot translate a domain name, it asks another one, and so on, until the IP address is found.
  • Page 254 Glossary GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) A transceiver that converts electric currents (digital highs and lows) to optical signals, and optical signals to digital electric currents. The GBIC is typically employed in fiber optic and Ethernet systems as an interface for high-speed networking. The data transfer rate is one gigabit per second (1 Gbps) or more.
  • Page 255 Glossary IP address A unique 32-bit value that identifies network hosts using TCP/IP. An IP address, or block of addresses, is assigned upon application to organizations responsible for that function. No two network hosts can be assigned the same IP address. Each address consists of a network number, optional subnetwork number and host number, written as four numbers separated by periods.
  • Page 256 Glossary NFS (Network File System) An network protocol designed by Sun Microsystems that allows all network users to access shared files stored on computers of different types. Users can manipulate shared files as if they were stored locally on the user’s own hard disk. With NFS, computers connected to a network operate as clients while accessing remote files, and as servers while providing remote users access to local shared files.
  • Page 257 Glossary Remote system log A file located on a UNIX machine containing statistics and error messages. See also syslog. SAN (Storage Area Network) Network that connects storage devices and computer systems. SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) A SCSI interface is used to connect microcomputers to SCSI peripheral devices, such as many hard disks and printers, and to other computers and local area networks.
  • Page 258 Glossary Snapshot A read-only copy of a file volume that contains an image of the volume as it appeared at the point in time when the copy was taken. Subnet Mask A 32-bit numeric mask that blocks out all but the necessary information. This allows the IP address to be broken into a component that identifies the subnet on which the device resides and the ID of the device itself.
  • Page 259 Glossary UPS (Uninterruptible Power Source) A source of electrical power that is not affected by outages in a building’s external power source. Abbreviated UPS. UPSs may generate their own power using gasoline generators, or they may consist of large banks of batteries. UPSs are typically installed to prevent service outages due to external power grid failure in computer applications deemed by their owners to be “mission critical.”...
