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...

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...

The S1 system provides a software-only solution using off-the-shelf hardware components. This section lists the minimum required hardware. Hardware category Requirements Node Server A 64-bit x86 server. Storage S1 HA deploym...

To use the S1 storage engine, you must install the S1 operating system on all server nodes. The S1 storage engine is built into the S1 operating system. The installation process of the S1 operating system can be done by one of the following options: Bootable...

To complete the installation of the StorONE system, you must configure the network addresses and various other settings for each S1 server node. In a dual-node high availability (HA) configuration, you must install the S1 operating system on each of the nodes ...

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...

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, ...

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...

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...

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. hosts create <name> [--ip=<name>] (--wwns=<w...

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...

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....

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...

You can create and pair floating IPs using the command line interface (CLI) or the web interface. For more information about floating IPs and how they are used in the StorONE system, see Floating IPs. Creating a floating IP for NAS or object store Before you c...

The StorONE system includes a robust and flexible replication solution that can be used for high availability and disaster recovery (DR). You can configure replication at the virtual storage container (VSC) level, giving you maximum flexibility to meet your da...

Before you can replicate a virtual storage container (VSC, also referred to as a volume in the documentation and user interfaces), you must create a replication floating IP on the source and target StorONE deployments. The replication floating IP is distinct f...
