Storage Manager Manage volumes and RAID systems, monitor hard drive health, encrypt/decrypt file systems, and configure iSCSI systems and virtual disks with Storage Manager. For storage management features, refer to the following links: Volume Management RAID Management Hard Disk S.M.A.R.
Volume Management This page shows the model, size, and current status of the hard drives on the NAS. You can format, check, and scan for bad blocks on the hard drives. Topics covered in this chapter: Default Shared Folders Overview on RAID Systems Disk Configuration and NAS Models Default Shared Folders When the hard drives are formatted, the NAS will create the following default share folders: home: The user's home folder. Public: The default shared folder for file sharing by everyone.
redundancy is offered. The total storage capacity of a RAID 0 disk volume is equal to the sum of the capacity of all member hard drives. RAID 1 Mirroring Disk Volume: RAID 1 duplicates the data between two hard drives to provide disk mirroring. To create a RAID 1 array, a minimum of 2 hard drives are required. The storage capacity of a RAID 1 disk volume is equal to the size of the smallest hard drive. RAID 5 Disk Volume: The data is striped across all the hard drives in a RAID 5 array.
RAID Management On this page, you can perform online RAID capacity expansion (RAID 1, 5, 6, 10) and online RAID level migration (single disk, RAID 1, 5, 10), add a hard drive member to a RAID 5, 6, or 10 configuration, configure a spare hard drive (RAID 5, 6, 10) with the data retained, enable Bitmap, recover a RAID configuration, and set a global spare.
Expanding Capacity (Online RAID Capacity Expansion) Scenario You bought three 250GB hard drives for initial setup of a TS-509 Pro NAS and configured RAID 5 disk configuration with the three hard drives. A half year later, the data size of the department has largely increased to 1.5TB. In other words, the storage capacity of the NAS is running out of use. At the same time, the price of 1TB hard drives has dropped to a large extent.
Tip: If the description still shows "You can replace this hard drive" and the status of the drive volume says "Ready", it means the RAID volume is still expandable. Note: If you have a hot spare drive set up in a RAID configuration, remember to manually remove that drive before expanding a RAID Volume or adding a drive to that volume. Starting with QTS 4.1.1, the maximum volume capacity supported for online RAID capacity expansion in ARM-based NAS models is 16TB.
4. Select one or more available drives and the migration method. The drive capacity after migration is shown. Click "Migrate". 5. Note that all the data on the selected hard drive will be cleared. Click "OK" to confirm. 6. When migration is in process, the required time and total drive capacity after migration are shown in the description field. 7.
4. Select the new hard drive. The total drive capacity after adding the drive will be shown. Click "Add Hard Drive." 5. All the data on the new hard drive will be deleted during this process. The data on the original RAID 5 or RAID 6 configuration will be retained. Click "OK". The NAS will beep twice. To add hard drives to a RAID 10 disk volume, repeat the above steps. Note that you need to add an even number of hard disk drives to a RAID 10 volume.
hard drive can be removed and re-added and only block changes since the removal (as recorded in the bitmap) will be re-synchronized. To use this feature, select a RAID volume and click "Action" > "Bitmap". Note: Bitmap support is only available for RAID 1, 5, 6, and 10.

Encrypted File System On this page, you can manage encrypted disk volumes on the NAS. Each encrypted disk volume is locked by a particular key. The encrypted volume can be unlocked by the following methods: Encryption Password: Enter the encryption password to unlock the disk volume. The default password is "admin". The password must be 8-16 characters long. Symbols (! @ # $ % ^ & * ( )_+ = ?) are supported. Encryption Key File: Upload the encryption file to the NAS to unlock the disk volume.
AES volume-based encryption is applicable only to specific NAS models. Refer to the comparison table at: http://www.qnap.com/images/products/comparison/Comparison_NAS.html Before you Start Please be aware of the following before using data encryption on the NAS. NAS encryption is volume-based. A volume can be a single disk, a JBOD configuration, or a RAID array. Select whether or not to encrypt a disk volume before it is created on the NAS.
Behavior of Encrypted Volumes upon System Reboot In this example, we have two encrypted disk volumes on the NAS. The first volume (Single Disk Drive 1) has been created with the option "Save Encryption Key" disabled. The second volume (Single Disk Drive 4) has been created with the option "Save Encryption Key" enabled. After restarting the NAS, check the volume status. The first drive has been unlocked and mounted but the second drive is locked.
"Unlock this device". Choose to either input the encryption password, or use the encryption key file. If the encryption password or the key file is correct, the volume will be unlocked and accessible. iSCSI Go to "Control Panel" > "System Settings" > "Storage Manager" to manage the iSCSI target service, create iSCSI target lists and the advanced ACL and back up LUNs.
Portal Management The NAS supports a built-in iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface) service for server clustering and virtualized environments. Topics covered in this chapter: Manual iSCSI Configuration iSCSI Quick Configuration Wizard Creating iSCSI LUNs Manual iSCSI Configuration The NAS supports built-in iSCSI service.
