  • Page 30: Relationship Between Raid Disks, Storage Pool, Volumes, And Shares

    NAS System 2.4.1 Relationship between RAID disks, Storage Pool, Volumes, and Shares RAID disks RAID disks are basically logical disks created using the “Create New RAID” button by selecting the physical disk drives to be included as RAID member. When physical disk drives are included in RAID, the status will show as “RAID_MEMBER”.
  • Page 31 NAS System Storage Pool The Storage Pool is a collection of storage devices, such as RAID disk, which have been joined to NASVG (NAS Volume Group). At least one RAID disk must be joined to NASVG Storage Pool. After one RAID disk is joined to Storage Pool, the NASVG is initialized and the basic NAS configuration is setup.
  • Page 32 NAS System Volumes Volumes are logical disks created from the NASVG (NAS Volume group). The NASVG total capacity will be almost equal to the capacity of a RAID disk joined to the NASVG Storage Pool. When Volume is created, the Volume capacity will be taken from the available capacity of the NASVG.
  • Page 33 NAS System Shares Shares are the shared folders that are accessed by users in the network. Shares that are created within the same Volume will share or use the total capacity of the Volume. It is also in the Share where account or group permission is assigned, to allow read-only or read-write access, and where different Protocol Settings for the selected Share can be enabled and configured, or disabled.
