Page 11: Raid Concepts
NAS System 1.3 RAID Concepts RAID Fundamentals The basic idea of RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is to combine multiple inexpensive disk drives into an array of disk drives to obtain performance, capacity and reliability that exceeds that of a single large drive. The array of drives appears to the host computer as a single logical drive.
Page 12 NAS System Definition of RAID Levels RAID 0 is typically defined as a group of striped disk drives without parity or data redundancy. RAID 0 arrays can be configured with large stripes for multi-user environments or small stripes for single-user systems that access long sequential records. RAID 0 arrays deliver the best data storage efficiency and performance of any array type.
Page 13 NAS System Under RAID 5 parity information is distributed across all the drives. Since there is no dedicated parity drive, all drives contain data and read operations can be overlapped on every drive in the array. Write operations will typically access one data drive and one parity drive.
Page 14: Array Definition
NAS System In summary: RAID 0 is the fastest and most efficient array type but offers no fault-tolerance. RAID  0 requires a minimum of one drive. RAID 1 is the best choice for performance-critical, fault-tolerant environments. RAID  1 is the only choice for fault-tolerance if no more than two drives are used. RAID 5 combines efficient, fault-tolerant data storage with good performance ...

NAS System 5.6.6 Duplication Duplication is a file level snapshot utility for making backups of your local filesystem. Using Duplication, it is possible to take incremental snapshots of your filesystem at different points in time. Duplication creates the illusion of having a multiple full backups by using hard links, while only taking up the space of one full backup plus differences.
Page 198 NAS System The Duplication tab information is shown below. Execute Day: Specifies whether the scheduled task is to run on this day. Execute Time: Once - Specifies the time of the day the scheduled task create the snapshot. Every - Specifies how often the scheduled task is to be repeated.

NAS System Chapter 8 proNAS HA (Optional Function) 8.1 Introduction to proNAS HA proNAS HA (High Availability) provides solution for business continuity with automatic failover which ensures that should a critical server become unavailable - due to failure or maintenance-related downtime — a replica will immediately provide all services in its place without the need for time-consuming manual procedures.
Page 275: Getting Started With Pronas Ha
NAS System 8.2 Getting Started with proNAS HA Before Configuring High Availability Before attempting to configure two proNAS servers as a High Availability pair, check the following requirements: 1. Each proNAS server node must have a different and unique hostname. (It is highly recommended to use the same NAS model.) 2.
Page 276: Hardware Aspect
NAS System 8.2.1 Hardware Aspect Active server: proNAS HA server that performs cluster-protected operations. Backup (Standby) server: proNAS HA server that can takeover the critical operations of an active server when the active server is down or unavailable. Private net: Private net is a dedicated channel for servers to exchange their operating status (i.e., heartbeat message).
Page 277: Procedure For Setting Up Pronas Ha
NAS System 8.2.2 Procedure for Setting Up proNAS HA Setting up a server cluster: Below are the basic steps in setting up a server cluster: 1. Configure the hostname for both proNAS servers (must be unique). 2. Configure two static IP addresses for each proNAS server. 3.
Page 278 NAS System Reference IP: Enable Reference IP Checking – Select this option to enable reference IP checking. A Reference IP is an IP address that the proNAS HA service will check when the heartbeat channel(s) between the two servers are lost. This IP will be used as a reference point to device whether the network really has a problem before doing failover or takeover.
