Power ON Hours Count of hours in power-on state. The raw value of this attribute shows total count of hours (or minutes, or seconds, depending on manufacturer) in power-on state.

26

Reallocated Sector

Count

Current Pending

Sector

Count of reallocated sectors. When the hard drive finds a read/write/verification error, it marks this sector as "reallocated" and transfers data to a special reserved area (spare area).

This process is also known as remapping and "reallocated" sectors are called remaps. This is why, on a modern hard disks, you can not see "bad blocks" while testing the surface - all bad blocks are hidden in reallocated sectors. However, the more sectors that are reallocated, the more a decrease (up to 10% or more) can be noticed in disk read/write speeds.

Current count of unstable sectors (waiting for remapping). The raw value of this attribute indicates the total number of sectors waiting for remapping. Later, when some of these sectors are read successfully, the value is decreased. If errors still occur when reading sectors, the hard drive will try to restore the data, transfer it to the reserved disk area (spare area), and mark this sector as remapped. If this attribute value remains at zero, it indicates that the quality of the corresponding surface area is low.

NOTE

If the Reallocated Sector Count or Current Pending Sector of a hard disk drive is not zero, the status of the disk will show “Warning”. This warning is only used to alert the system administrator that there are bad sectors on the disk, and they should replace those disks as soon as possible.

.

RAID Level

You can set the storage volume as JBOD, RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6 or

RAID 10. RAID configuration is usually required only when you first set up the device. A brief description of each RAID setting follows:

RAID Levels

Level Description

JBOD The storage volume is a single HDD with no RAID support. JBOD requires a minimum of 1 disk.

RAID 0

RAID 1

Provides data striping but no redundancy. Improves performance but not data safety. RAID 0 requires a minimum of

2 disks.

Offers disk mirroring. Provides twice the read rate of single disks, but same write rate. RAID 1 requires a minimum of 2 disks.

RAID 5

RAID 6

Data striping and stripe error correction information provided.

Excellent performance and good fault tolerance. RAID 5 requires a minimum of 3 disks. RAID 5 can sustain one failed disk.

Two independent parity computations must be used in order to provide protection against double disk failure. Two different algorithms are employed to achieve this purpose. RAID 6 requires a minimum of 4 disks. RAID 6 can sustain two failed disks.

RAID 10 RAID 10 has high reliability and high performance. RAID 10 is implemented as a striped array whose segments are RAID 1 arrays. It has the fault tolerance of RAID 1 and the performance of RAID 0. RAID 10 requires 4 disks. RAID 10 can sustain two failed disks.

WARNING

If the administrator improperly removes a hard disk that should not be removed when RAID status is Degraded, all data will be lost.

28

Chapter 7: Tips and Tricks

USB and eSATA Storage Expansion

The ALL6600 iSCSI supports external USB hard disks through its three USB ports.

Once a USB hard disk has successfully mounted, the entire volume will be copied automatically to the default USB HDD folder. The ALL6600 iSCSI supports up to 6

USB external storage devices. All file names on the USB disk volume are case sensitive.

The ALL6600 iSCSI also supports eSATA hard disks with its eSATA port.

Before attaching an eSATA or USB disk drive to ALL6600 iSCSI, you have to partition and format it on a desktop computer or a notebook first. The attached device will be located at

\\192.168.1.100\usbhdd\sdf1

where

192.168.1.100

means the IP address of ALL6600 iSCSI and sdf1

stands for the first partition on disk #6, the eSATA or USB disk drive. If it is an NTFS partition, NAS users can open or copy files from

\\192.168.1.100\usbhdd\sdf1

but cannot add new files or modify existing files.

NOTE If you want to write to an USB storage device, the file system must be FAT32.

When connecting to a PC thru its USB Type B connector on the back panel, ALL6600 iSCSI can act as a USB disk. This feature allows user to transfer files without using network connection.

When you create RAID, you can assign a portion of space on the RAID to be used as USB disk. When connecting ALL6600 iSCSI to a PC using the supplied USB A to

B cable, the PC will recognize this space as an unformatted disk. At this point, the

PC can format this portion of disk and create file system on it. Since this disk is created on the RAID, it will be protected by the RAID level you select.

WARNING

When RAID is removed or damaged, all the data on the Target USB device will be deleted.

Replacing Damaged Hard Drives

If you are using RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, or RAID 10, you can easily replace a damaged hard drive in the ALLNET ALL6600 iSCSI while keeping your data secure with the system’s automatic data recovery.

Hard Drive Damage

When a hard drive is damaged, its bottom LED glows a steady red. If there is data in the RAID volume, the system LED also glows red and the system beeps.

Replacing a Hard Drive

To replace a hard disk drive in the ALL6600 iSCSI:

1.

Remove the tray with the damaged hard disk.

71

2.

Unscrew the damaged hard disk and remove it from the tray.

3.

Slide a new hard disk into the tray and fasten the screws.

4.

Insert the hard disk tray back into the ALL6600 iSCSI until it snaps into place. You can also lock it with a key if desired.

5.

The LED blinks green when the HDD is accessed. If the Error LED flashes red, it signals a problem.

RAID Auto-Rebuild

When using RAID 1, 5, 6, or 10 on the ALL6600 iSCSI, you can use the autorebuild function when an error is detected.

1.

When a hard disk fails the system beeps and/or an email notification is sent to specified receivers.

2.

Check the hard disk error LEDs to see which disk has failed.

3.

Follow the steps mentioned above to replace the failed hard disk.

4.

The system automatically recognizes the new hard disk and starts the auto-rebuild sequence to resume its status before the hard disk crash.

72

Chapter 8: Troubleshooting

Forgot My Password

If you forget your password, you can reset the unit to use the default password.

To do this, press the reset button on the front panel after system is booted, and

ALL6600 iSCSI will be reset. LAN IP address will become

192.168.1.100

and admin password will be admin

.

Forgot My Network IP Address

If you forget your network IP address and have no physical access to the system, you can find out the IP address by either looking directly onto the ALL6600 iSCSI’s LCD panel, or by using the setup wizard to retrieve the IP of your

ALL6600 iSCSI.

1.

Start the Setup Wizard, and it will automatically detect all ALLNET IP storage products on your network.

2.

You should be able to find the IP address of the ALL6600 iSCSI which you have forgotten in the Device Discovery screen.

Resetting NAS IP Address and Admin Password

In case you changed the ALL6600 iSCSI IP address and then forgot it, or forgot the administration password, follow the steps below to reset to default settings:

1.

Power on the ALL6600 iSCSI and immediately press the Reset button for

10 seconds. (The reset button is near the LAN connector)

2.

This resets the ALL6600 iSCSI to its default IP address and password settings.

Default IP:

192.168.1.100

for LAN1 and

192.168.2.100

for LAN2

Default admin password: admin

Jumbo Frame support: disabled

WARNING

Resetting All6600 iSCSI will not erase the data stored in the hard disks, but WILL revert all the settings to the factory default values.

Can't Map a Network Drive in Windows XP

You may have problems mapping a network drive under the following conditions:

1.

The network folder is currently mapped using a different user name and password. To connect using a different user name and password, first disconnect any existing mappings to this network share.

2.

The mapped network drive could not be created because the following error has occurred: Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are

not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again.

To check out existing network connections, type net use

under the DOS prompt.

73

Restoring Factory Defaults

From the System menu, choose the Factory Default item and the Reset to

Factory Default screen appears. Press Apply to reset the ALL6600 iSCSI to factory default settings.

WARNING

Resetting to factory defaults will not erase the data stored in the hard disks, but

WILL revert all the settings to the factory default values.

Problems with Time and Date Settings

The administrator is able to select an NTP Server to keep the ALL6600 iSCSI’s time synchronized. However, if the ALL6600 iSCSI can not access the Internet, you may encounter a problem when setting the Time and Time Zone. If this happens:

1.

Login to the Web Administration Interface.

2.

Navigate to System > Time.

3.

Under NTP Server, select No.

4.

Set the Date, Time, and Time Zone.

5.

Click Apply.

In addition, if the ALL6600 iSCSI is able to access the Internet and you want to keep the NTP Server clock.isc.org by default, please make sure the DNS Server is correctly entered, thereby allowing the NTP Server name to correctly resolve.

Appendix C: RAID Basics

Overview

A Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) is an array of several hard disks that provide data security and high performance. A RAID system accesses several hard disks simultaneously, which improves I/O performance over a single hard disk. Data security is enhanced by a RAID, since data loss due to a hard disk failure is minimized by regenerating redundant data from the other RAID hard disks.

Benefits

RAID improves I/O performance, and increases data security through fault tolerance and redundant data storage.

Improved Performance

RAID provides access to several hard disk drives simultaneously, which greatly increases I/O performance.

Data Security

Hard disk drive failure unfortunately is a common occurrence. A RAID helps prevent against the loss of data due to hard disk failure. A RAID offers additional hard disk drives that can avert data loss from a hard disk drive failure. If a hard drive fails, the RAID volume can regenerate data from the data and parity stored on its other hard disk drives.

RAID Levels

The ALLNET ALL6600 iSCSI supports standard RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, and

JBOD. You choose a RAID level when you create a system volume. The factors for selecting a RAID level are:

• Your requirements for performance

• Your need for data security

• Number of hard disk drives in the system, capacity of hard disk drives in the system

The following is a description of each RAID level:

RAID 0

RAID 0 is best suited for applications that need high bandwidth but do not require a high level of data security. The RAID 0 level provides the best performance of all the RAID levels, but it does not provide data redundancy.

RAID 0 uses disk striping and breaking up data into blocks to write across all hard drives in the volume. The system can then use multiple hard drives for faster read and write. The stripe size parameter that was set when the RAID was created determines the size of each block. No parity calculations complicate the write operation.

RAID 1

RAID 1 mirrors all data from one hard disk drive to a second one hard disk drive, thus providing complete data redundancy. However, the cost of data storage capacity is doubled.

78

This is excellent for complete data security.

RAID 5

RAID 5 offers data security and good performance. It is best suited for networks that perform many small I/O transactions at the same time, as well as applications that require data security such as office automation and online customer service. Use it also for applications with high read requests but low write requests.

RAID 5 includes disk striping at the byte level and parity information is written to several hard disk drives. If a hard disk fails the system uses parity stored on each of the other hard disks to recreate all missing information.

RAID 6

RAID 6 is essentially an extension of RAID level 5 which allows for additional fault tolerance by using a second independent distributed parity scheme (dual parity)

Data is striped on a block level across a set of drives, just like in RAID 5, and a second set of parity is calculated and written across all the drives; RAID 6 provides for an extremely high data fault tolerance and can sustain two simultaneous drive failures.

This is a perfect solution for mission critical applications.

RAID 10

RAID 10 is implemented as a striped array whose segments are RAID 1 arrays.

RAID 10 has the same fault tolerance as RAID level 1.

RAID 10 has the same overhead for fault-tolerance as mirroring alone. High I/O rates are achieved by striping RAID 1 segments.

Under certain circumstances, RAID 10 array can sustain multiple simultaneous drive failures

Excellent solution for applications that would have otherwise gone with RAID 1 but need an additional performance boost.

JBOD

Although a concatenation of disks (also called JBOD, or "Just a Bunch of Disks") is not one of the numbered RAID levels, it is a popular method for combining multiple physical disk drives into a single virtual one. As the name implies, disks are merely concatenated together, end to beginning, so they appear to be a single large disk.

As the data on JBOD is not protected, one drive failure could result total data loss.

Stripe Size

The length of the data segments being written across multiple hard disks. Data is written in stripes across the multiple hard disks of a RAID. Since multiple disks are accessed at the same time, disk striping enhances performance. The stripes can vary in size.

Disk Usage

When all 5 disks are of the same size, and used in RAID, ALL6600 iSCSI disk usage percentage is listed below:

Appendix D: Active Directory Basics

Overview

With Windows 2000, Microsoft introduced Active Directory (ADS), which is a large database/information store. Prior to Active Directory the Windows OS could not store additional information in its domain database. Active Directory also solved the problem of locating resources; which previously relied on Network

Neighborhood, and was slow. Managing users and groups were among other issues Active Directory solved.

What is Active Directory?

Active Directory was built as a scalable, extensible directory service that was designed to meet corporate needs. A repository for storing user information, accounts, passwords, printers, computers, network information and other data,

Microsoft calls Active Directory a "namespace" where names can be resolved.

ADS Benefits

ADS lets the ALL6600 iSCSI integrate itself with the existing ADS in an office environment. This means the ALL6600 iSCSI is able to recognize your office users and passwords on the ADS server. Other major benefits ADS support provides include:

1.

Easy integration of the ALL6600 iSCSI into the existing office IT infrastructure

The ALL6600 iSCSI acts as a member of the ADS. This feature significantly lowers the overhead of the system administrator. For example, corporate security policies and user privileges on an ADS server can be enforced automatically on the ALL6600 iSCSI.

2.

Centralized user/password database

The ALL6600 iSCSI does not maintain its own copy of the user/password database. This avoids data inconsistency between the ALL6600 iSCSI and other servers. For example, without ADS support, an administrator might need to remove a specific user privilege on the ALL6600 iSCSI and each individual server. With ADS support, the change on an ADS server is known to all of its ADS members.

General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.

86

Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.

Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

0.

This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the

Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as

"you".

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).

Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.

1.

You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the

Program a copy of this License along with the Program.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

2.

You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this

License.

87

c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this

License.

3.

You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under

Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the

88

operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.

If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

4.

You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

5.

You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it.

However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the

Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program

(or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this

License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.

6.

Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.

7.

If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this

License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

89

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

8.

If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this

License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

9.

The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the

General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation.

If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

10.

If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software

Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

NO WARRANTY

11.

BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO

WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE

LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT

HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS"

WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,

INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF

MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE

RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH

YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF

ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

12.

IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN

WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY

MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE

LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL,

INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR

INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS

OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED

BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE

WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY

HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
