RaQ 3 Server Management
69
To add a storage device to the RaQ 3:
1. On the Server Management screen, click Maintenance on the left.
2. Click Storage at the top.
3. Click Add Storage.
A lists of available storage devices appears; see Figure 25. By
default, all of the devices are selected to be added. To de-select a
storage device, click the box beside that device.
To add a disk, give the device a unique name. You can use only
alphanumeric characters for the name. You cannot use the name
“home” as that is the name of the hard disk of the RaQ 3.
You can choose to check the integrity of the disk when adding a
storage device. However, this option significantly increases the
time it takes to format a disk. To enable this option, click the box in
the Check column beside each storage device.
4. Click Confirm New Storage to add the storage to the RaQ 3.
When adding a new virtual site to the RaQ 3, the RaQ 3 Administrator
can choose where to store the new site. In the Add New Virtual Site
table, next to the Maximum allowed disk space (MB) parameter, a
pull-down menu lists in alphabetical order the available storage devices.
The storage device with the most available space is chosen by default.
For more information, see “Adding a virtual site” on page 43.
Suspend a virtual site
There are two ways to suspend a virtual site on the RaQ 3: a hard
suspension and a soft suspension.
For more information on soft suspensions, see “Suspend a virtual site”
on page 96.
Hard suspension
A hard suspension occurs when a storage device is disabled through the
UI or is disconnected from the RaQ 3. In this case, all virtual sites on
that storage device are inaccessible. You cannot administer these sites,
and users cannot receive email.
