NTP Option

NETGEAR ReadyNAS User Guide

NTP Option

You can elect to synchronize the system time on the device with a remote NTP (Network Time Protocol) server. You can elect to keep the default servers or enter up to two NTP servers closer to your locale. You can find an available public NTP servers by searching the Web.

Alerts

In the event of a device or an enclosure failure, a quota violation, low-disk space warning, and other system events requiring your attention, e-mail alerts are sent. The Alerts screen is accessed by selecting System > Alerts from the main menu.

Alerts Contacts

The Contacts tab allows you to specify up to three e-mail addresses where system alerts will be sent. The ReadyNAS device has a robust system monitoring feature and sends e-mail alerts if something appears to be wrong or when a device has failed. Make sure to enter a primary e-mail address and a backup one if possible.

Figure 1-57

Some e-mail addresses can be tied to a mobile phone. This is a great way to monitor the device when you are away from your desk.

A start time of 0000 and an end time of 2300 will set snapshots to be taken between midnight and 11 pm the next day at the interval you specify. Once you save the snapshot schedule, the time of the next snapshot is displayed. When the next snapshot is taken, the previous one is replaced You can also specify how long a snapshot should last. If you will be using snapshots for backups, you can schedule the snapshot to last slightly longer than the expected duration of the backup.

RAID 5 provides redundancy by striping data across three or more disks and keeping the parity information on one of the disks in each stripe. In case of disk failure, the surviving disks and the parity disk are used to reconstruct the lost data, providing data transparently to the user application. When the failed disk has been replaced with a good disk, the reconstructed data is written out to the new disk when the reconstruction or sometimes referred as RESYNC process is complete, the volume returns to a redundant state. The capacity of a RAID 5 volume is the smallest disk in the RAID set multiplied by one less than the number of disks in the RAID set. For example, a four-disk RAID 5 set provides the capacity of three disks, assuming all four disks are identical in size Domain or Workgroup Name Appendix B Input Field FormatHost Host NameShare Name Share PasswordSNMP Community User or Group NameThe password can be any character except for single quote User PasswordNETGEAR ReadyNAS User Guide Input Field Formatv1.0, October NETGEAR ReadyNAS User GuideInput Field Format v1.0, October Appendix C GlossaryGlossary v1.0, October NETGEAR ReadyNAS User GuideGlossary Numerics IndexIndex-1 v1.0, Augustv1.0, August NETGEAR ReadyNAS RAIDiator 3.01 Administration ManualIndex-2 v1.0, August NETGEAR ReadyNAS RAIDiator 3.01 Administration ManualIndex-3 v1.0, August NETGEAR ReadyNAS RAIDiator 3.01 Administration ManualIndex-4 v1.0, August NETGEAR ReadyNAS RAIDiator 3.01 Administration ManualIndex-5 v1.0, August NETGEAR ReadyNAS RAIDiator 3.01 Administration ManualIndex-6 v1.0, August NETGEAR ReadyNAS RAIDiator 3.01 Administration ManualIndex-7 v1.0, August NETGEAR ReadyNAS RAIDiator 3.01 Administration ManualIndex-8
