Default local accounts 53

Input the same language as the storage manager interface to ensure correct coding thus when storage manager language is japanese account names can only be both japanese and english similarly if storage manager language is german then account names can only be german and english the same principle will be applied to other languages the password is case sensitive and can consist of 0 to 12 displayable characters including letters numbers and signs 53

There are two preset accounts on the server root and guest 53

If the network already contains a unix nis domain the system administrator can simply add the nas to the unix nis domain to retrieve access settings from the nis server once the system administrator adds the nas server to a unix nis domain see network setup unix nis a new tab entitled unix nis accounts will appear on this page containing all the users retrieved from the nis server these accounts will directly apply the default quota set up for a new user in the security option page the system administrator can also set hard disk quota individually for each nis domain account in the quota option page when adding new accounts on nfs clients some nfs clients automatically generate a corresponding group for each 58

Unix nis accounts 58

In the left pane you will find a list of existing groups use the mouse to select a group the group name and members will appear on the right side to rename a group click directly on the group name column and change it then click apply you can add or delete members on the group members page 61

Please note when there is more than one network card in the nas server and the server is set up as having multiple subnets this system only supports apple client in s single subnet to read write from the server through appletalk or tcp ip protocol apple clients in other subnet s can only read write through tcp ip protocol due to this limitation this system can only support the zone in a single subnet 77

The dns 6040 series preset a default of 3gb space in each hard disk as a raid 5 volume system administrator can add or delete volumes in the system according to his her own needs 79

Backing up data 107

Automatically divide the backup file into several 4gb size files and name the extension of each file in the order of bkp 01 02 etc please store these files in the same directory when restoring the data back onto the nas server in the future the administrator only needs to specify the bkp file and other related files will also be restored automatically without manually restoring every single file 110

Restoring data back onto the server 110

Administrator can also go to system log tab of storage manager and search for the error code in the log file below follows an explanation of the e mail error codes 113

When the system fails to backup restore data on the nas server the system administrator will receive an e mail with an error code notifying the data backup restore failure the 113

Backup is one method necessary to ensure data completeness but people are often too busy to neglect the importance of regular data backup in order to make users 115

General problems 149

How to deal with lost passwords if a user has forgotten his her password he she can turn to the system administrator to reset the personal settings if the system 149

If the nas server is integrated into the windows domain while backing up the windows domain information will be backed up simultaneity restoring the windows domain information can be done simultaneously with restoring data back on to nas server at a later date if the nas server has already been integrated into another windows domain while restoring the system cannot be re integrated into the original windows domain 149

Windows domain does not exist while restoring probably due to the disconnection of the domain or the pdc being down the windows domain information cannot be restored properly 149

Administrator forgets the password the server must be returned to the dealer all the data on the server will be lost 150

Appendix 1 151

Dns 6040m dns 6040 user s manual 151

The acronym raid stands for redundant array of independent drives a method to combine a number of small inexpensive drives into an array which offers more functionality than a single large disk with comparable capacity while simultaneously taking advantage of the individual disks to increase the efficiency of the system in other words during the writing process data is split into segments and stored on multiple disks likewise during the reading process data is retrieved simultaneously from multiple disks in order to increase the access speed of the array raid can also be configured to use part of the disk capacity for mirroring or redundant data thus preserving the integrity of the system in case one of the disks in the array fails 151

The dns 6040 series supports the levels raid 0 raid 1 raid 5 and raid 5 with hot spare described below 151

What is raid 151

Each of the raid configurations offers a different disk capacity and level of safety when making your choice consider the following 152

In a raid 0 array data is split and stored in different locations but without fault tolerance the server treats the array as one big disk with a size of almost all individual disks combined the parallel access to multiple disks allows for faster read and write making the array faster than individual disks because of that this configuration is ideal for applications where large amounts of streaming data have to be efficiently transferred while assuring good quality e g in a recording raid 0 offers no mirroring or redundancy options if one disk 152

Raid 0 striping 152

Raid 1 mirroring 153

Raid 5 153

Raid 5 with hot spare 153

The spare disk will automatically go online and rebuild damaged data in other words you are providing two disks for safety leaving you with n 2 disks storage capacity in an array of n disks 154
