18 2 2. V olume Configuration This chapter describes how to configure and manage the volumes in your ReadyNAS storage system. It includes the following sections: • Basic V olume and RAID Concepts .
V olume Configuration 19 ReadyNAS OS 6.1 Basic V olume and RAID Concepts T o get the most out of your ReadyNAS storage system, it is helpful to understand the basics of volumes and RAID. Understanding these concepts is the first step to making good decisions about how to configure, manage, and use your ReadyNAS storage system.
V olume Configuration 20 ReadyNAS OS 6.1 X-RAID2 X-RAID2 is an auto-expandable RAID technology that is available only on ReadyNAS systems. With X-RAID2, you do not need to know intricate details about RAID to administer your system. X-RAID2 allows you to add storage space without reformatting your drives or moving your data to another location.
V olume Configuration 21 ReadyNAS OS 6.1 The following figure illustrates how X-RAID2 uses new disks. a b c Figure 3. X-RAID2 disk usage a. The first disk that you install is used for initial (unprotected) storage space. b. The second disk that you install is reserved for data protection (parity information).
V olume Configuration 22 ReadyNAS OS 6.1 • RAID 5 . This RAID level also provides data redundancy , but it requires at least three disks. RAID 5 uses the capacity of one disk to protect you from data loss if one disk fails. Y our data is distributed across multiple disks to improve disk performance.
V olume Configuration 23 ReadyNAS OS 6.1 Change RAID Mode Y ou can change the RAID mode that your ReadyNAS storage system uses. By default, your system’s hard disks are configured into a single X-RAID2 volume. Change from X-RAID2 to Flex-RAID Y our ReadyNAS system can easily change a volume from X-RAID2 to Flex-RAID mode.
V olume Configuration 24 ReadyNAS OS 6.1 Change from Flex-RAID to X-RAID2 If your system contains only one volume, you can easily switch from Flex-RAID to X-RAID2. Data on the Flex-RAID volume is preserved when you switch to X-RAID2. If your system contains multiple volumes, you must first reconfigure your disks into a single volume.
V olume Configuration 25 ReadyNAS OS 6.1 Change to a Different Flex-RAID Level In Flex-RAID mode, you assign one of several RAID levels to your volume. Available RAID levels depend on the number of disks that you want the volume to include. For more information, see Flex-RAID on page 21 .
V olume Configuration 26 ReadyNAS OS 6.1 The following summary information is displayed next to each volume. Item Description Data The storage space that is consumed by data in MB, GB, or TB. Free The storage space that is available in MB, GB, or TB. T ype The configured RAID level.
V olume Configuration 27 ReadyNAS OS 6.1 A pop-up screen displays the I/O stats in the Summary tab. 4. Click the Disks tab. 5. From the Disk drop-down list, select one of the disks in the volume to view its status. Note: The disks are listed by their position in the enclosure: <column>x<row>.
V olume Configuration 28 ReadyNAS OS 6.1 Enable or disable the checksum function: 1. Select System > V olumes . 2. Select one of the volumes listed on the left side of the screen. 3. From the pop-up menu that displays, select Settings . A pop-up screen displays.
V olume Configuration 29 ReadyNAS OS 6.1 Create and Encrypt a V olume During volume creation you can also enable volume encryption. Encryption is optional. When encryption is enabled, data is encrypted in real time as it is written to the volume. Y ou cannot encrypt existing volumes.
V olume Configuration 30 ReadyNAS OS 6.1 The New V olume pop-up screen displays. 4. Configure the following settings: • Name . Enter a name for the volume. The volume must not have the same name as a folder in the root folder system. The volume names home , apps , and job_ are reserved and cannot be used.
V olume Configuration 31 ReadyNAS OS 6.1 Note: The Destroy option is not available when the ReadyNAS has a single volume only. The Destroy option is available if you have at least two volumes. A pop-up screen displays. 4. T ype DESTROY to confirm your decision.
V olume Configuration 32 ReadyNAS OS 6.1 X-RAID2 makes horizontal volume expansion easy . If your X-RAID2 volume includes two or more disks, the volume expands automatically when you add disks. Y ou can expand a Flex-RAID volume by adding an additional JBOD disk or two additional RAID 0 disks.
V olume Configuration 33 ReadyNAS OS 6.1 T able 2. RAID Level Disk Replacements Required for V ertical Expansion RAID 1 Replace 2 or more disks with larger-capacity disks. RAID 5 Replace 2 or more disks with larger-capacity disks. RAID 6 Replace 4 or more disks with larger-capacity disks.
V olume Configuration 34 ReadyNAS OS 6.1 For more information about how to add a disk to your system, see the hardware manual for your system, which is available at http://support.netgear .com/product/ReadyNAS-OS6 . Note: Y ou must use supported disks in your ReadyNAS system.
V olume Configuration 35 ReadyNAS OS 6.1 T able 3. Number of Disks per V olume RAID Level Can I add a disk to for data protection? 1 RAID 1 Y es. (Additional disk provides redundancy .) 2 RAID 1 No. (V olume protection is already redundant.) 2 or more RAID 0 No.
V olume Configuration 36 ReadyNAS OS 6.1 4. Click the Add Parity button next to a volume that allows or requires additional protection. A pop-up screen appears and asks you to confirm your decision. 5. Click the Y es button. Y our data protection is increased in the background while you continue to use your storage system.
V olume Configuration 37 ReadyNAS OS 6.1 3. From the pop-up menu that displays, select Scrub . The scrubbing process starts. The start and completion of the volume scrub are recorded in the system log (see System Logs on page 219). If you set up email notifications for your system, you receive an email message when the process finishes.
V olume Configuration 38 ReadyNAS OS 6.1 3. From the pop-up menu that displays, select Defrag . The defragmentation process starts. The start and completion of the volume defragmentation are recorded in the system log (see System Logs on page 219).
