Replicating a file-based volume
Before you begin Before you can replicate a file-based virtual storage container (NFS or CIFS/SMB), you must first make sure: You have installed and configured the Multi System Manager (MSM) and witness service. Pools with names matching the pools used by the...
Replicating an object store
Before you begin Before you can replicate an object store, you must first make sure: You have installed and configured the Multi System Manager (MSM) and witness service. Pools with names matching the pools used by the source volume exist on the target system...
CLI overview
Terminology A command that follows another command is called a subcommand. For example, in the systems list command list is a subcommand of systems. Any string that begins with a hyphen is called an option. An option cannot come before a command or s...
Using the CLI
The S1 system provides a powerful command line interface (CLI) tool that can help you get more done. It supports auto-completion and interactive help, so you can quickly find the commands you need and get the information you need. By learning how to use the CL...
Basic commands
The StorONE command line interface (CLI) provides five fundamental commands that allow users to manage and control the CLI itself: exit To exit the CLI application, run the command exit. logout To logout from the remote connection, use the logout command. This...
Users
The StorONE (S1) system may be accessed by multiple users. Using the S1 CLI client, you can list, create, edit, and delete users. Create a new user To create a new user, use the users create command. Usage: users create <name> --password=<password> --role=<per...
Configurations
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...
Systems
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...
Managing applications
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...
Volumes
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...
Encryption
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...
Snapshots
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...
Shares
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 ...
File systems
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...
Objects
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 ...
Mappings
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...
Settings
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...
Floating IPs
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...
