Storage Pool Management Understanding How Your Content Is Stored Content on your px4-300r Network Storage Array is stored in Shares and iSCSI volumes. To access content in Shares, your client computer uses network protocols, such as AFP and Windows File Sharing. The px4-300r's file system maintains the physical location of content that resides in volumes used for Shares. Block-level data is stored in iSCSI drives.
Storage Pool Management Adding and Managing Storage Pools A Storage Pool is a grouping of drives with a certain storage size and an assigned data protection. A Storage Pool has a minimum of one drive. By default, your px4-300r Network Storage Array has one Storage Pool. You can create either a data Storage Pool or a cache Storage Pool, which is a grouping of solid-state drives that helps increase read and write performance to volumes in a date Storage Pool. To Add a Data Storage Pool 1.
Storage Pool Management Improving Performance with a Cache Storage Pool A cache Storage Pool is a pool of solid-state drives designed to increase read and write performance on your px4-300r Network Storage Array. You create a cache Storage Pool and then associate a volume on a data Storage Pool to the cache pool. You can create only one cache Storage Pool on your px4-300r. To Add a Cache Storage Pool You first create a cache Storage Pool to begin improving performance. 1.
Storage Pool Management 3. Enter a value in the Size (GB) field to specify the amount of cache space for the volume. This value cannot exceed the total size of the cache pool. 4. Set Cache policy using one of the following values: 5. ● Write-through. This is the safest of the policies. All writes are cached to the cache pool and are also written to disk immediately. If your SSDs have slower write performance than your non-SSD drives, this may limit write performance.
Storage Pool Management Volumes Snapshots Snapshots Overview A snapshot is a backup of a source volume at a certain point in time. The snapshot can be taken while the px4-300r is actively writing to the source volume, which means you do not have to stop your px4-300r from writing to the volume. After a snapshot is taken, you have the option of restoring it to the source volume and reverting the source volume to its state at the time the snapshot was taken.
Storage Pool Management ● Specify when to take a snapshot, for example, every hour, four hours, or once a day. ● Enter a start time, or click ● Select the days you want to take a snapshot, or select All Days to take a snapshot every day. ● Enter the number of snapshots to save. ● Enter a size for the snapshots as a percentage of the source volume. ● Choose whether to expose or unexpose the snapshot. ● If you do not want to write any content to the snapshot, check Make snapshot read-only.
Storage Pool Management Adding and Managing Volumes A volume is a single accessible storage area with an allocated size. You can create volumes after creating Storage Pools. Shares in Volumes All Shares on the px4-300r Network Storage Array are added to volumes, and the size of the Share is limited by the free space of the volume. When you create a Share, you can add it to a volume at the same time. This is the simplest method for adding a Share to a volume.
