A typical StorONE (S1) system consists of a highly available (HA) two-node cluster. The S1 system that manages the node servers and their peripherals. Each node has its own internal storage where the S1 operating system resides. Both nodes connect to an exter...

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...

In the StorONE system, an application is a logical namespace for grouping virtual storage containers (VSCs, also referred to as volumes within the user interfaces and documentation). Using the command line interface (CLI), you can list, create, edit, and delet...

A volume is a collection of blocks presented to the operating environment as a single disk-like storage unit. In many systems, including Linux and Windows, a logical volume can span multiple physical disk drives. In the StorONE (S1) system, the underlying bloc...

The S1 CLI allows you to generate an encryption key. You can use this key to encrypt the consistency group. Notice that there is no direct command to encrypt the consistency group. When creating a new volume, you have the option to encrypt it. When you encrypt...

  You can take snapshots manually for volumes or consistency groups. To take a snapshot of a volume or consistency group, use the application snapshots take command. Usage: applications snapshots take --all|(--application=<name> --volume=<name>)|(--cgid...

You can create file Server Message Block (SMB) or Network File System (NFS) file shares on the StorONE system. File shares allow multiple users to access files simultaneously on a network attached storage (NAS) server. Before you begin To create a share ...

A logical volume provides storage that can be used in different ways. For example, you can use a logical volume to create block-level, object-level, or file-level storage. Adding file systems File systems are required for NAS and Object storage. To add a fil...

Object storage architecture Object storage is a storage architecture that manages data in a flat namespace of individual objects. The object storage system is self-contained, with metadata for each object stored with the object. Object stores can contain a ...

The applications mappings add command maps volumes (that are in the same application instance) to a host or a cluster. The mapping becomes part of a storage area network (SAN) providing block-level storage. The command allows you to choose the network protocol...

The settings command can help you to increase security, detect abnormal storage capacity allocation, and adjust the output display according to your preferences. CLI output preferences To modify the display output format, use the settings output command. You...

A floating IP is an IP address that can be dynamically assigned to different servers or nodes in a network, similar to virtual IPs in other HA systems. It can be used to provide high availability and fail-over capabilities between multiple nodes. In the S1 sy...

For block volumes on the StorONE system, you must map initiator hosts to StorONE volumes to allow the initiators to connect to specific logical unit numbers (LUNs). This process is also called LUN mapping or LUN masking. The hosts command defines iSCSI, fibre...

The StorONE (S1) system offers sophisticated monitoring features to effectively monitor the system performance. This enables you to troubleshoot issues and optimize the system resource usage. The system also supports personalized settings, allowing you to coll...

The most commonly deployed StorONE (S1) system consists of a two-node cluster. The nodes are servers with a high availability (HA) connection. The S1 system manages the controller node servers and their peripherals. Each node has its own internal storage and S...

The StorONE (S1) system incorporates an advanced notification mechanism that dispatches real-time monitoring messages based on its configurations. Various notification levels are available, including Verbose, Debug, Information, Warning, and Error. Verbose:...

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...

Getting started The StorONE system includes an HTML5-based graphical user interface (GUI) for managing the system. The GUI supports most major modern browsers. To open the web application follow these steps: Open your web-browser In your web-browser, enter...

The S1 system provides its storage through abstract layers. The building blocks of the storage in the S1 system are applications and logical volumes. Applications serve as containers for logical volumes, while logical volumes provide a virtual storage containe...

For block-based virtual storage containers (VSCs, also referred to as volumes), you must define initiator hosts that connect to the system, and map hosts to volumes. This is often referred to as LUN mapping or LUN masking. Hosts To create and manage the mapp...
