Managing Users, Groups, and Shares

About Users

About Groups

About Shares

About Users

The Administrator, normally the device owner, is the person in charge of setting up the device. As the WD My Cloud Mirror device owner, you have a special user account (admin) that provides you with administrator privileges. With these privileges, you can set up and configure the device to your specific needs and add other users to your personal cloud. You also have the power to determine exactly what users can access on the device.

As a default, the administrator (admin) user name does not have a password. You can create one at anytime (see "Updating a User Password" on page 47).

Note: Only one individual at a time can use the Administrator logon ID to log into the web browser app. Because of this, ensure that you log out of the WD My Cloud Mirror device web browser app when you're not using it. This allows other users authorized to use the Administrator logon ID to access the web browser app.

See Energy Saver - Web Access Timeout on "Energy Saver" on page 109 to automatically log out of the app after a set amount of time.

The Users screen displays a list of the current users and allows the Administrator to view user details, create new users, create groups, and grant a user access to existing shares and groups.

• User quota must be ≤ the group quota (e.g., if your group has a 20 GB quota and you try to set the user quota to 30 GB quota, you will be prompted to reduce your user quota to be equal to or less then the group quota).
  ■ If the user quota is not set, the group quota is assigned to the user.
• When a user quota is set prior to the user joining a group and a group is assigned:
• If the user quota > group quota, the individual user's quota is automatically reduced to the group quota amount.
• If the user quota is ≤ group quota, the individual user quota remains unchanged.

Managing Storage on WD My Cloud Mirror

About Storage

RAID Storage

Disk Status

About Storage ≡

The Storage page allows you to configure the storage within your device and view the status and capacity of its disks. This chapter provides details on managing the storage on your WD My Cloud Mirror device.

RAID Storage

RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) allows you to store the same data in different places on multiple hard drives, providing necessary redundancy, greater performance, and data integrity. There are several different levels of RAID, each one providing a different method of sharing or distributing data among the drives. Your WD My Cloud Mirror device allows you to select from the following storage modes:

Note: The difference between a drive and a volume is that a volume can be a single drive or multiple drives.

RAID Mode Description
JBOD	The use of one or more drives not in a RAID configuration but managed as separate logical volumes.
Spanning	Combination of drives in a linear fashion to create one large logical volume.
RAID 0	RAID 0 mode provides disk striping across all drives in the RAID drive group. RAID 0 does not provide data redundancy but does provide the best performance of any RAID level. RAID 0 breaks up data into smaller segments and stripes the data segments across each drive in the drive group.
RAID 1(default)	In RAID 1 mode, the RAID controller duplicates all data from one drive to a second drive in the drive group. RAID 1 provides complete data redundancy but cuts the required storage capacity in half.

Viewing the Current RAID Mode

Use the following steps to view the RAID mode currently used on your device.

1. On the navigation bar, click Storage to display the Storage screen.
2. Click RAID, if not already selected.

3. In the RAID Profile, the following information displays:

4. RAID Health
   ■ Auto-Rebuild status (whether or not Auto Rebuild is turned on)

5. RAID Volume shows how many volumes the RAID or JBOD is configured for.

Changing the RAID Mode

Use the following steps to change the current RAID mode on your WD My Cloud Mirror device.

WARNING! Changes made to your RAID mode will delete all of your data and your user settings. See "Saving a Configuration File" on page 122 for information on saving your user settings.

2. Click RAID, if not already selected.

1. Click Change RAID Mode at the bottom of the screen.
2. Review the Warning message and click OK.

1. Select the RAID mode you'd like to use for your WD My Cloud Mirror device.

Options include:

JBOD	The use of one or more drives not in a RAID configuration but managed as separate logical volumes.
Spanning Combination of drives in a linear fashion to create one large logical volume.
RAID 0	Data is striped across multiple hard drives, enabling accelerated reading and recording of data by combining the work of two or more drives to increase performance.
RAID 1 (default)	Two instantaneous copies of the data are recorded on separate hard drives so if one of them fails, other(s) continue to read/write data until the faulty hard drive is replaced.

1. Select the Switch to check box and click Next.
2. Review the status of your hard drives and click Next.

1. Review the status of your volumes and click Next.

1. If the Volume slider displays, select the amount of space you'd like to dedicate to the selected RAID mode. The Volume slider displays for RAID1 (default).

- If you choose not to use the entire volume for your RAID selection, you can configure the remaining disk space as Spanning by selecting the Configure the remaining disk space as Spanning check box.

1. Click Next.

Media Servers

WD My Cloud Mirror is designed to serve as your home's media server. It enables you to stream photos, music, and videos to your DLNA-compatible devices and music to your iTunes-compatible devices.

Both DLNA-compatible and iTunes-compatible devices search for media stored in any Public share that has media serving enabled. By default, DLNA Media is disabled. Once you enable it on the Settings > Media Server page, the media serving for the Public share is also automatically enabled. For all other shares, the media serving remains off.

If you do not want DLNA to display specific media files, place them in a private share that is set to disable media sharing. (See “Making a Share Private” on page 54.)

Media Server Overview

The WD My Cloud Mirror device uses TwonkyMedia as its DLNA media server. It streams your music, photos and videos to compatible devices in your home. Playing media on a compatible device is easy.

The media server searches for all the media stored in the Public share on the WD My Cloud Mirror device connected to your home network. After enabling media serving for the device (see “Enabling DLNA and iTunes” on page 98), you can just transfer your multimedia content to the Public share on your WD My Cloud Mirror device, and you are ready to stream and view content on your home entertainment center, game consoles (for example, Xbox 360 ^® or PlayStation ^® 3), WD TV Live ^® media player, or DLNA ^® 1.5 digital media adapters), and other PC computers on your home or office network.

Media Storage

You can access and store media content on the WD My Cloud Mirror device by means of network shares. Shares, similar to folders or directories, are areas set up to organize media and access them from your network. Shares can be shared with everyone (public) or with selected users on your network (private).

The device comes pre-configured with the Public network share, which contains the following folders for media storage:

• Shared Music—Stores music files you want to share with other users.
• Shared Pictures—Stores image files you want to share with other users.
• Shared Videos—Stores video files you want to share with other users.

Note: You will notice that the Public share's Shared Music and Shared Pictures shares contain mirrored and uploaded subfolders. These folders are needed by Twonky 7.2. You can now upload all media types to the uploaded subfolder from a DLNA client with "upload" capability.

Go to the Twonky configuration site (NAS_IP:9000) to aggregate content from all NAS devices with DLNA capability on your network to the mirrored folder. Uploading and mirroring are best left to expert users, as these features are not supported by WD customer support.
