Recommended Installation Sequence
Follow the NSS installation steps to set up and configure the device. They provide
•Part A: Set up the hardware:
-Step 1: Install the disk drives. Skip this step if you have an NSS4100 or NSS6100 as they are already equipped with disk drives.
-Step 2: Connect the Ethernet cable(s).
-Step 3: Connect the power.
•Part B: Configure the NSS:
-Step 1: Configure the Network Settings IF a DHCP server is not present. (If there is a DHCP server, skip this step.)
-Step 2: Log into the Configuration Interface
-Step 3: Configure the Time setting (options include NTP or manual).
-Step 4: Configure the RAID(s). You can choose to skip this step if you have an NSS4100 or NSS6100 as it is preconfigured with a RAID5 array.
-Step 5: Create the volume(s).
-Step 6: If you have multiple NSS units (one of which is a NSS6000 series unit), and you want to virtualize your storage, set up the export/import of the virtualized RAID arrays.
-Step 7: Set up the User and Group ID ranges and the users’ home directory location (this enables the import of groups/users from Domain Controllers and to create local users and groups).
-Step 8: Configure the Network Domain Identification (NT4, Active Directory, NIS, etc.) to join the NSS to a domain.
-Step 9: Add any locally defined groups or users. (Optional)
-Step 10: Create share(s) and enable access to these shares (i.e., CIFS, NFS, FTP). You can also define the DFS access.
-Step 11: If you have an NSS6000 series unit, configure the volume snapshots. (Optional)
-Step 12: Configure the share backups. (Optional)
