CHAPTER 4 File Volume Operations File System Concepts The following commonly used terms are briefly described in the following list. RAID RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks. RAID systems allow data to be distributed to multiple drives through an array controller for greater data security and recoverability. The Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS offers a RAID 5 array. For more information on RAID and RAID types, see your RAID controller documentation. LUN LUN stands for Logical Unit Number.
Partition Partitions are sections on a LUN. Each LUN can have a maximum of four partitions. Each partition can either have space allocated to it or be empty. When a LUN is first created, all of the available space is located in the first partition, while the other three partitions are empty. Each partition can “contain” only one file volume. File Volume File volumes are organized amounts of available storage space and are created from partitions.
To create a file volume or segment: 1. In the navigation panel, select File Volume Operations > Create File Volumes. FIGURE 4-1 The Create File Volumes Panel 2. In the LUN box, click the LUN where you want to create the primary file volume. The partition number for the file volume in the Partition drop-down list will automatically increment when the file volume is created. 3. Type in the name of the new volume or segment in the Name field.
How to Attach Segments You can add segments to existing primary volumes to increase the volume’s total size. You can attach a segment from the same LUN or from a different LUN. Once you add a segment to a volume, you cannot remove it. You must create a segment before you can attach it to a volume. See “How to Create File Volumes and Segments” on page 18 for information on creating segments. To attach a segment: 1. In the navigation panel, select File Volume Operations > Attach Segments.
Configuring Directory Tree Quotas Directory tree quotas determine how much disk space is available for a directory or how many files can be written to it. Quotas can only be configured for directories created in this panel, not for previously existing directories. To add a directory tree quota: 1. In the navigation panel, select File Volume Operations > Manage Quotas > Configure Directory Tree Quotas. FIGURE 4-3 The Configure Directory Tree Quotas Panel 2.
3. Click Add to display the Add DTQ Setting dialog box. FIGURE 4-4 The Add DTQ Setting Dialog Box 4. In the DTQ Name field, enter a name to identify this directory tree quota. 5. In the Dir Name field, enter a name for the new directory. You can only configure directory quotas for directories created in this field. Underneath the Path field, a box shows the directory tree structure for the file volume you selected in the Configure Directory Tree Quotas panel. a.
7. In the File Limits field, select the maximum number of files that can be written to this directory; either No Limit or Custom. Selecting No Limit allows an unlimited number of files to be written to this directory. Select Custom if you want to designate a maximum number of files. Then enter the file limit in the Max Value field. 8. Click Apply to add the quota. 9. Click Apply to save your changes.
Adding an Entry to the Checkpoint Schedule When you add a checkpoint to the table, the system automatically sets up a new checkpoint for the times and dates you request. You can schedule as many checkpoints as you want. However, the system uses a large amount of space and system memory for checkpoints. The more checkpoints you create, the more they affect system performance. To add a schedule line: 1. The first step in scheduling checkpoints is to enable them for the file volume.
3. To add a schedule line, click Add. FIGURE 4-6 The Add Checkpoint Schedule Dialog Box 4. Select the file volume for which you are scheduling checkpoints. 5. Enter a description for the checkpoint in the Description box. This field is mandatory. You can use it to enter information like the time between checkpoints, for example “weekly” or “daily.” 6. Select the number of days and hours you want to keep the checkpoint in the Days, AM Hours, and PM Hours boxes. a.
Creating Immediate Checkpoints You can choose whether to schedule a checkpoint or create one immediately. See “Scheduling Checkpoints” on page 23 for information on setting up a regular checkpoint schedule. In the Manage Checkpoints panel, you can create immediate checkpoints as well as rename and remove existing ones. Unlike scheduled checkpoints, which you create at a pre-determined day and time, you can create immediate checkpoints at any time.
3. To create a new checkpoint, click Create. FIGURE 4-8 The Create Checkpoint Dialog Box 4. Select the Volume Name for which you want to create a checkpoint from the dropdown list. 5.

CHAPTER 5 Windows Configuration How to Configure Microsoft Networking Configuring the domain, workgroup, or Active Directory Service (ADS) is a Windows function. If you are running a pure UNIX network, you do not need to configure either Windows Domains or Windows Workgroups. Enable Windows Workgroup, NT Domain security, or ADS through the Configure Domains and Workgroups panel. By default, your Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS is configured in Windows Workgroup mode, with a workgroup name of “workgroup.
To configure Windows security: 1. In the navigation panel, select Windows Configuration > Configure Domains and Workgroups. FIGURE 5-1 The Configure Domains and Workgroups Panel 2. To enable Windows domain security, select the Domain option button. This option creates an account on the domain for this server. You must specify a user account with rights to add servers to the specified domain. Then enter the following: ■ ■ Enter the name of the domain in the Domain field.
Note – Prior to enabling ADS, you must verify that the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS time is within five minutes of any ADS Windows 2000 domain controller. To verify the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS time, select System Operations > Set Time and Date from the navigation panel. Then enter the following: ■ ■ In the Domain field, enter the Windows 2000 Domain in which ADS is running. The Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS must belong to this domain.
How to Set Up WINS A WINS server resolves NetBIOS names to IP addresses, allowing computers on your network to locate others more quickly and efficiently. To add a WINS server: 1. In the navigation panel, select Windows Configuration > Set Up WINS. FIGURE 5-2 The Set Up WINS Panel 2. To enable WINS, click the Enable WINS checkbox. This allows the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS server to be a WINS client. 3.
Windows Shares About Shares A shared resource, or share, is a local resource on a server that is accessible to Windows clients on the network. On a NAS server, it is typically a file volume or a sub-tree within a volume. Each share is assigned a name by which it is referenced on the network. To clients on the network, the share appears as a complete volume on the server, and they do not see the local directory path directly above the root of the share.
How to Configure Shares The table at the top of Configure Shares panel (in the Windows Configuration folder) shows information about all existing SMB shares in the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS. This includes the share name and directories shared and information concerning Windows Workgroups only (user and group information, Read/Write password, and Read/Only password). Note – After you create a volume, you must first create a share for the entire volume. Then users can access the volume and create directories.
2. Click Add to display the Add Share dialog box. FIGURE 5-4 The Add Share Dialog Box 3. Type the name of the share you want to add in the Share Name field. This is the name that users see on the network. There is a fifteen-character maximum for this field. The following characters are invalid: = | : ; \ “ ? < > * / 4. Optionally, add a Comment to describe the share. 5.
8. The Container field (optional) specifies the ADS container in which the share is published. This field is available only if you have enabled ADS for the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS in the Set Up ADS panel. Enter the path in terms of the share’s cn (common name) folder or ou (organizational unit). The cn folders are default folders in the root folder. All other containers are ou folders.
10. In the Umask field, enter the file creation mask, if any, you want to apply to this share. The umask defines the security policy for files and directories created in Share mode. It specifies the permission bits to turn off when a file is created. The umask is defined in octal because octal numbers comprise three bits, which maps easily to the UNIX file permission representation. The umask is applied using standard UNIX rules, except for the DOS read-only attribute.
When a user logs on, the server checks for a subdirectory that matches the user’s name. If a match is found and that share does not already exist, a temporary share is added. When the user logs off, the share is removed. Windows clients can automatically log a user off after fifteen minutes of inactivity, which results in the autohome share disappearing from the list of published shares. This is normal CIFS protocol behavior.
4. Enter the ADS Container. This specifies the ADS container in which the shares are published. The shares are published in ADS only if you configure ADS for the Sun StorEdge 5210 NAS in the Set Up ADS panel. Enter the path using the share’s cn (common name) folder or ou (organizational unit). The cn folders are default folders in the root folder. All other folders are ou folders.
