Capacity (MB)

Capacity of the installed hard disks.

Model

Model number of the installed hard disks.

Status

Status of the installed hard disks.

Member

If this is checked, current hard disk is a part of a RAID volume.

Spare

If this is checked, current hard disk is designated as a spare for

 

a RAID volume.

Stripe Size

This sets the stripe size to maximize performance of sequential

 

files in a storage volume. Keep the 64K setting unless you

 

require a special file storage layout in the storage volume. A

 

larger stripe size is better for large files.

Used Percentage

The percentage of the RAID volume that will be used to store

 

data.

Apply

Press this button to configure a file system and create the RAID

 

storage volume.

Creating a RAID

To create a RAID volume, follow the steps below:

1.On the RAID Information screen, click New.

2.On the RAID Configuration screen, set the RAID storage space as JBOD, RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, or RAID 10 — see Appendix C: RAID Basics for a detailed description of each.

3.Specify a RAID ID.

4.If this RAID volume is meant to be the Master RAID volume, tick the Master RAID checkbox.

NOTE

In a multiple RAID configuration, one RAID volume must be designated as the Master RAID volume. The Master RAID volume will store all installed modules. If the Master RAID is changed to another location (i.e. assigning HDD 2 to be the Master RAID volume after HDD 1 had been previously assigned), then all modules must be reinstalled. In addition, all system folders that were contained on the Master RAID volume will be invisible. Reassigning this volume to be the Master RAID will make these folders visible again.

5.Tick the checkboxes under the “member” heading of the hard disks you wish to use to create a RAID.

6.Specify a stripe size — 64K is the default setting.

7.Specify the percentage allocated for user data. The remaining space will be made available for iSCSI target.

8.Selected the file system you like to have for this RAID volume.

NOTE

Select ZFS file system while snapshot is needed. It is only one ZFS file system allowed to be created per system.

ZFS file system is only accessible by CIFS/SMB, not for AFP and NFS users.

9.Press Apply to build the RAID storage volume. 30
