Chapter 8: Revision up dated (FW 3.00.03 to 3.00.06) What’s New There are add itional feat ures implemented into t he new 3.00.04 version firmware. RAID Expansion for iSCSI Target Volume First, the iSCSI volu me is now able to expand its capacity from unused space.
RAID Volume Encryption With firmware v3.00.04 , you can protect yo ur data by usin g RAID Volume Encryption func tion to prevent the r isk of data exposure. T o activate this function , the Encr yption option needs to be ena bled while the RAID is created and followed by password input for identification.
RAID volumes with encryption e nabled will be displayed with a key lock symbol next to volume ID name. NOTE 2. With RAID volume encryption enabled, RAID volume expansion will operated in off line mode. 1. With RAID volume encryption enabled , the system performance w ill goes down.
Next, setu p the physical capacity for iSCSI thin -provision volume by dragging the Allocation bar to the d esired size. After the size has been determined, click OK to confirm. Now you will see the iSCSI thin-provision ing volume is availa ble from the list.
No w you can start to create iSCSI targ ets to join the newly-created iSCSI thin-prov ision volume. Basically, t he iSCSI target under iSCSI th in-provision ing has exactly same settings screen as t he standard iSC SI target volum e creation. The only difference is the “Virtual Size” of capaci ty.
The screen shot for iSCSI tar get volume creation under t hin-provisioning; the physical capacity 333.8GB. The screen shot to setup an iSCSI target volume under thin-provisioning of 1700GB. iSCSI target volu m e creation. The maximum virtual size is 14300GB (16000GB – 1700GB(1 st iSCSI target volume)).
This screenshot lists iSC SI target volumes created under th in-provisioning. The 2 nd iSCSI target volume under thin-pro visioning has been created wi th a capacity of 14300GB. This message appears if there is no more room for new iSCSI target creation.

Appendix C: RAID Basics Overview A Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) is a n array of several hard di sks that provide data security and high per formance. A RAID system accesses several hard disks simultaneous ly, which improves I/O performanc e over a single hard disk.
RAID 5 RAID 5 offers da ta security and it is best suited for networ ks that perform many small I/O transactions at the same time, as well as applications that require data security such as offi ce automation and online customer service. Use it also for applicatio ns with high read reques ts but low write requests.
Disk Usage Whe n all 7 disks are of the same size, and used in RAID, N7700 disk usage percentage is listed below: RAID Level Percentage Used RAID 0 100% RAID 1 1/n x 100% RAID 5 (n-1)/n x 100% RAID 6 .
