2.4.Managing System Storage

The NAS administrator uses Disk Management to manage volumes, and Shadow Copies to manage snapshots. See the following chapters for more detailed information on managing system storage:

•Chapter 3 discusses storage and file server management procedures

•Chapter 4 discusses snapshot (shadow copy) management procedures

•Chapter 6 discusses folder and share management procedures

2.5.Creating and Managing Users and Groups

User and group information and permissions determine whether a user can access files. If the NAS appliance is deployed into a workgroup environment, this user and group information is stored locally on the device. By contrast, if the NAS device is deployed into a domain environment, user and group information is stored on the domain usually the Primary Domain Controller.

To enter local user and group information, see Chapter 5.

2.2.1.Joining Workgroup & Domain

These are the two system environments for users and groups. Because users and groups in a domain environment are managed through standard Windows or Active Directory domain administration methods, this document discusses only local users and groups, which are stored and managed on the storage server. For information on managing users and groups on a domain, see the domain documentation available on the Microsoft web site.

2.6.Creating and Managing File Shares

Files shares must be set up, granting and controlling file access to users and groups. See Chapter 6 for complete information on managing file shares. UNIX specific information is discussed in the “Microsoft Services for NFS” chapter.

2.7.Running Microsoft Windows Update

Tandberg Data highly recommends that you run Microsoft Windows updates to identify, review, and install the latest, applicable, critical security updates on the storage server. For recommendations, instructions, and documentation to help manage the software update, hotfix, and security patches process on the storage server, see documentation of Microsoft Software Updates available on Microsoft web site.
