Page 30: Configuring Storage For Non-Clustered Configurations
DRAFT Configuring storage for non-clustered configurations Configure storage by creating disk arrays, LUNs, and volumes. Physical disks can be arranged as RAID arrays for fault tolerance and enhanced performance, then segmented into LUNs of appropriate sizes for particular storage needs. These LUNs then become the volumes that appear as drives on the NAS server. -
Page 31: Creating File Shares
DRAFT Creating file shares Once the storage space is set up, file shares are created by selecting an entire volume or a particular folder on a volume and designating that space as a network volume. That space is then available to groups of client computers on the network. The client computers access this space through a variety of file sharing protocols using the disk space to store their files and folders. -
