12. Usage of NDAS Bind Management software 12.1 introduction of raid Raid is the name in short of redundant arrayfo inexpensive disk of which the advantage is high security, high speed, and huge capacity for data. The arrayfo put several Hard disk drives together to work to accelerate the speed. Some raid technology could accelerate the speed of single one disk to 400%.meanwhile increase the stability of the HD system.
RAID0 ( Doesn’t check odevity) Ž - Allow any NDAS setting between 2 —8 to unite a single huge disk driver. - Which is very useful when a huge capacity setting is need - Allow no error,, all the data will get lost once one of them is broken. - When rite into NDAS settings, the method which similar to the Aggregati on can get more fast features. raid 0 uses block striping function, divide the data into many equal logical parts an continual ly separate to each disk. , Ž•.
NoteŽThe disadvantage of raid 1 is that it can not expand the capacity. Once a raid I need to expand the support capacity it , before adding the new disk , you need to backup all the data, all the other raid class can be expand. 13.1 Necessary condition of bind ing: -- A security key is needed for every NDAS. -- The NDAS which is managed can’t be bind again. --The NDAS which is managed in computer need to be connecting including the computer itself.
13.3 Introduction of binding 1, There are more or equal to two NDAS need to be connecting; all of the NDAS have their security key. 2, Clicking start into program NDAS software. 3, clicking bind button. 4, select the type of binding and HARD DISK No, Aggregation support any of 2 -8 No binding - Stripe (RAID0) only 2, 4, 8, are allowed to be bound. - Mirror (RAID1) suppo rt 2, 4, 6,8binding. Note: RAID4 is not being supported usually.
7•two warn forms will shown --Once NDAS is bound, all of the data will be lost, and then click YES to continue. - The newly bound NDAS needs to be mounted and formatted before using them, then select “CONFIRM” 8, -The NDAS will show that it succeeding in binding.
--select any one of bound NDAS then select “Read -only” or mount(R/W) 9, Click “next” after appears finding a new Hard Disk till the installation is finished. 10.Please format before using combinational NDAS device 14. Unbind ---- One or all of NDAS can be unbound in a combination. Part 15.1 used to introduce how to unbind all of the NDAS. Part 15.2 used to introduce how to unbind the only one NDAS. 14.1 Unbind all of NDAS 1, select one NDAS needs to be unbound in the NDAS Bind Management.
5, when a unbind conversation form is shown please s elect the team needs to be unbind then click “Yes”. 6. Two warning boxes showed. -- All of the data will be lost once the disks are unbound. Click on “YES” for continuing. -- New NDAS equipment group must be mounted and f ormatted before using. 7. Come back to NDAS equipment manager for installing every NDAS equipment which has not been coupled now. 8. Before NDAS equipment is used, every NDAS equipment which has not been coupled should be formatted.
5. All of the data will be lost once the disk is reset to single disk, click “yes” for continuing. Note: Once group is broken, never any NDAS equipment can be added to this broken group, reaggregating and formatting have to be done. 6. Please consult to 10 th Chapter of Page 10 th: Formatting NDAS equipment. 7. After formatting, your NDAS equipment will be seen as a local disk. 15. Tools: Two functions supplied in Tools: Add Mirror and Resynchronize. 15.
-- Add Mirror function is used when adding one data -held NDAS equipment to one data -absence NDAS equipment, and mirror each other. -- Capacity of 2nd NDAS equipment must never be less than the NDAS equipment operating this function. 15.2 Using Add Mirror 1. Group from Start, Programs, NDAS Software to NDAS. 2. Choose single NDAS equipment. Note: NDAS equipment must be connected and write in Security key. 3. Click Tool button, then choose Add Mirror 4.
