Summary In some cases you can have a situation where your Windows Host will show that you have X amount of free space but the S1 Array will show considerably more space in use or possibly a full volume.  In these situations you may need to enable space reclam...

Summary: This guide is for all levels of Linux administrators from beginning to advanced and covers basic configuration and connectivity for various Linux  operating systems.  It does not cover  application specific changes, recommendations or tuning requirem...

This guide is for Microsoft Windows Server 2012 and above. This guide was specifically tested with Windows Server 2019, Windows Hyper-V Server 2022, and Windows Server 2022. Introduction This guide provides the recommended best practices for using the StorON...

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...

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, object store, or replicatio...

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...

Before you begin Before you can replicate an object store, you must first make sure: Pools with names matching the pools used by the source volume exist on the target system. The destination system has enough free capacity to accommodate the replicated volume...

Before you begin Before you can replicate a file-based virtual storage container (NFS or CIFS/SMB), you must first make sure: Pools with names matching the pools used by the source volume exist on the target system. The destination system has enough free capa...

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...

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 ...

  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...

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...

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...

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 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 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 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...

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...

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 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...
