Before you begin Before you can replicate a block-based volume, you must first make sure: You have installed and configured the Multi System Manager (MSM) and witness service. All replicated systems must be registered to the same MSM. Pools with names matchin...

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...

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 ...

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...

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...

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...

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...

All storage in the StorONE system uses thin provisioning, which means that capacity is automatically provisioned as it is consumed, regardless of how much capacity is allocated to the virtual storage container (VSC). When you create a new VSC (also referred to...

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...
