Network-attached storage (NAS) is a storage device accessed through a network connection. It provides shared storage for efficient user collaboration. Typically a NAS is a local server handling only file-sharing requests and data storage. StorONE storage engi...

All StorONE (S1) systems connect to a management station, also known as a relay. The command line interface (CLI) client connects to the relay, and can manage any systems connected to that relay. You can use the systems command to list and select systems conn...

The StorONE storage engine includes a suite of features that ensure rock-solid data protection. It provides the highest level of data integrity, protection, and recovery from hardware failures. Feature Details High Availability (HA) Highly availability...

StorONE has implemented many innovations in the S1 system, resulting in a highly efficient storage system that can accommodate an ever-growing need for storage. The S1 storage engine is built on patented algorithms that provide: A radical improvement of the a...

The StorONE system can be deployed in one of three basic architectures: Single-node: A single server node that manages both internal drives and external storage enclosures. Dual-node HA: Two server nodes with shared access to drives, using one or more exter...

The S1 system is a general-purpose single storage engine that can manage storage resources for many different use cases. It combines cutting-edge storage technology with maximum flexibility, providing customized storage options at the logical volume level. S1 ...

Storage resiliency refers to the ability of a storage system to withstand and recover from various types of failures, such as hardware failures, power outages, cyber attacks, and network disruptions, without losing data or causing significant downtime. StorONE...

This page provides definitions and explanations of key terms related to the S1 system and to storage and data management in general. ALUA ALUA stands for Asymmetric Logical Unit Access and is implemented in storage systems that provides an asymmetric path to t...

A Virtual Storage Container (VSC), also referred to as a volume, is the basic storage unit in the StorONE engine. It is the foundation for filesystem, object, and block architectures. In fact, all storage functionality at the logical volume level is provided b...

For file and object storage use cases, you must create a filesystem on the volume. Without a filesystem, clients are unable to use the volume. To add a filesystem to a volume, use the command: applications filesystems add --application=<name> --volumes=<names....

Volumes and consistency groups are associated with an application instance. An application instance is simply a namespace for consistency groups and volumes. You cannot create a volume without assigning it to an application. To create an application instance, ...

To see a list of all available drives on a StorONE system, run the following command: resources drives list The output displays each drive, its serial number, the media type (HDD, SSD, or NVME), its approved state, its pool, and its capacity. If the pool colu...

Most StorONE deployments are highly available (HA) pairs of controller nodes. The NAS server runs on one node at a time. If the system fails over, the NAS server transitions to the other node. To prevent disruption to client connections, the NAS server and obj...

To map a Virtual Storage Container (VSC, also referred to as a volume) to a storage area network (SAN) using the S1 system, you must first create an initiator host in the system by using the hosts create command. hosts create <name> [--ip=<name>] (--wwns=<w...

Network-attached storage (NAS) servers are file-based storage devices that connect to a network. They provide a centralized location for storing and sharing files, and can be accessed by any device on the network, including computers, laptops, smartphones, and...

Creating a share requires a Network Attached Server (NAS). Note: The volume that you want to share must have a filesystem. A volume cannot have two different shares on the same path. Any directory path of a volume can be shared through the Network File Syste...

Object storage is a storage architecture that manages data as distinct units called objects. Each object contains all of the data associated with it and is assigned a unique identifier. The objects are stored in a flat address space, rather than in a hierarchi...

To create a new volume, use applications volumes create --application=<app_name> --volume=<vol_name> --capacity=<capacity> --pool=<pname> --n=<n> --k=<k> [--groupedVolume=<name> | --cgid=<numbers> | (--encryptionKey=<encryptionKey> [--saveEncryptedRecoveryKey]...

To map a Virtual Storage Container (VSC, also referred to as a volume) to a storage area network (SAN) using the S1 system, you must first create an initiator host in the system by using the hosts create command. Once the host has been configured, use the foll...

Overview of the StorONE system and architecture. The S1 system is a general-purpose single storage engine that manages storage resources for all use cases. It is part of the S1 operating system, which is installed on node servers that are configured and manag...
