FOIRE AUX QUESTIONS - ND52000 COMET LABS

Comment installer des disques durs dans le ND52000 ?

Ouvrez le panneau avant en poussant les loquets latéraux. Déverrouillez le tiroir à disque avec la clé fournie, placez le disque dur SATA dans le tiroir, fixez-le avec les vis à tête plate, puis insérez le tiroir dans la baie en verrouillant. Installez les disques de droite à gauche (HDD1 à HDD4).

Comment configurer le serveur pour la première fois ?

Branchez le serveur sur le réseau avec un câble Ethernet. Par défaut, le ND52000 utilise DHCP. Vérifiez l'adresse IP sur l'écran LCD. Ouvrez un navigateur Web et saisissez cette adresse IP. Cliquez sur Administration et connectez-vous avec le nom d'utilisateur administrator et le mot de passe admin. Suivez l'assistant de configuration rapide.

Quels types de RAID sont supportés ?

Le ND52000 supporte les configurations suivantes : Disque simple (un volume par disque), RAID 0 (striping), RAID 1 (miroir), RAID 5 (striping avec parité, nécessite au moins 3 disques) et Linéaire (concaténation de disques).

Comment réinitialiser le mot de passe administrateur ?

Pour réinitialiser le mot de passe, appuyez sur le bouton de réinitialisation à l'arrière du serveur pendant quelques secondes jusqu'à entendre un bip. Le nom d'utilisateur et le mot de passe reviennent aux valeurs par défaut : administrator et admin. Notez que l'option 'Activer l'interrupteur de réinitialisation de configuration' doit être activée dans les paramètres matériels.

Comment accéder aux fichiers partagés depuis Windows ?

Vous pouvez utiliser l'Assistant d'installation rapide (fonction de mappage de lecteur), le Voisinage réseau (rechercher le serveur dans le groupe de travail), la fonction Rechercher des ordinateurs ou la commande Exécuter en tapant \[nom_serveur] ou \[adresse_IP].

Le ND52000 prend-il en charge la sauvegarde automatique ?

Oui, vous pouvez utiliser le logiciel NetBak Replicator fourni sur le CD-ROM pour Windows. Il permet une sauvegarde instantanée, planifiée ou par surveillance de dossiers. Le serveur propose également la réplication distante vers un autre NAS COMET LABS, la sauvegarde sur bande (via interface SCSI) et sur CD/DVD (via USB).

Que faire si un disque dur tombe en panne ?

Si le disque fait partie d'un volume RAID 1 ou RAID 5, le système continue de fonctionner en mode dégradé. Remplacez le disque défaillant par un disque neuf de même capacité. Le volume RAID sera automatiquement reconstruit. Si le volume n'est pas redondant (disque simple ou RAID 0), les données seront perdues. Sauvegardez régulièrement vos données.

Comment configurer l'adresse IP via le panneau LCD ?

Maintenez le bouton Entrée enfoncé pendant deux secondes pour accéder à la configuration. Utilisez les flèches pour sélectionner NETWORK SETTINGS. Choisissez DHCP ou STATIC IP. Pour une IP statique, saisissez les adresses IP, masque et passerelle. Validez avec Entrée. Redémarrez le serveur si nécessaire.

Le ND52000 peut-il être intégré à un domaine Active Directory ?

Oui, le serveur peut rejoindre un domaine Active Directory (Windows 2000/2003) ou un domaine NT. Dans les paramètres réseau, activez Microsoft Networking, sélectionnez AD Domain Member, saisissez le nom de domaine complet et le compte administrateur du domaine. Assurez-vous que la différence d'heure entre le serveur et le contrôleur de domaine est inférieure à 5 minutes.

Comment utiliser la fonction de sauvegarde sur CD/DVD ?

Branchez un graveur USB CD/DVD au port USB avant du ND52000. Dans l'interface d'administration, allez dans Outils système > Sauvegarde/Restauration USB CD/DVD. Détectez le graveur, sélectionnez le volume source (partage réseau), définissez le nom du volume, la vitesse d'écriture et cliquez sur Écrire sur disque. Pour charger des données depuis un CD/DVD, insérez le disque et utilisez l'option Charger.

6.6 Disk Configuration

In the section, you can create, delete, examine and format disk volume, as well as view disk and volume status of ND-52000.

6.6.1 Create Disk Volume

ND-52000 can accommodate four disks at maximum. You can set the disk volume to the following configurations by clicking on the icons on Create Disk Volume page:

a. Single Disk Volume

You can create an individual disk volume. In case of disk crash, all data will be lost.

Single Disk Volume Create an individual disk volume.

b. RAID 5 Disk Volume

Three or more hard disks can be integrated to form RAID 5 disk volume.

Data will be distributed and stored among the disks. If a disk fails, you can

replace a new disk with the damaged one, and the system will restore the

data to the new disk. You can also use three disks for RAID 5 and a fourth

disk as a backup disk. If a disk of RAID 5 volume is damaged, the spare disk

can replace that damaged disk, which enhances server stability and

efficiency.

RAID 5 Disk Volume

Integrate three or more disks into one large disk volume with data protection.

Note: When configuring RAID 5 disk volume, at least 3 disks are required.

c. RAID 1 Mirroring Disk Volume

Mirroring Disk protects your data by automatically backing up the contents of one disk onto the second disk of a mirrored pair. This protects your data if one of the disks fails. However, the storing capacity is equal to a single disk, as the second disk is used to automatically back up the first one.

RAID 1 Mirroring Disk Volume

All data on the first disk will be automatically backed up to the second disk.

d. RAID 0 Striping Disk Volume

Striping disk combines two or more disks into one larger disk. It offers the

fastest disk access but does not have any protection of your data if the

striped array fails. The disk capacity equals the number of disks in the array

times the size of the smallest disk.

RAID O Striping Disk Volume

Integrate two or more disks into one large disk volume with parallel data access.

e. Linear Disk Volume

You can combine two or more disks into one larger disk. Files will be saved on physical disks sequentially but does not have a disk failure file protection function. The overall capacity of linear disk is the sum of all disks.

Linear Disk Volume

Integrate two or more disks into one large disk volume with sequential data access.

You can check all currently active users in Statistics & Logs—Active Users (refer to Chapter 6.10.1) and inform those users to logout before configuring disk volume.

6.7 User Management

The files on ND-52000 can be shared among multiple users. For easier management and better control of users' access right, you have to organize users, user groups and their access right control.

6.7.1 Users

The system has created the following users by default:

1 Administrator

By default, administrator has access to system administration and cannot be deleted.

Guest

This is a built-in user and will not be displayed on User Management page. When you use a non-registered user name to login, the server will recognize the user as a guest and will allow limited access. A guest does not belong to any user group.

3 Anonymous

This is a built-in user and will not be displayed on User Management page. When you connect to the server by FTP service, you can use this name to login as a guest.

512 users can be created at maximum (including system default users). You can create a new user according to your needs. The following information is required to create a new user:

√User name

The user name must not exceed 32 characters. It is case-insensitive and can contain double-byte characters, such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean except:

$$ " / \backslash [ ] :; | = , + * ? < > ^ {\prime} $$

Password

The password is case-sensitive and can be 16 characters long at maximum. It is recommended to use a password of at least 6 characters.

You can perform the following settings for users:

6.7.2 User Groups

User group is a collection of users with the same access right to files or folders.

ND-52000 has created the following user groups by default:

1 Administrators

All members in this group have administration right. You cannot delete this group.

2 Everyone

All registered users belong to everyone group. You cannot delete this group.

You can manage user groups with the following options:

User groups name must not exceed 256 characters. It is case-insensitive and can contain double-byte characters, such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, except the following ones:

$$ " / \backslash [ ] :; | = , + * ? < > ^ {\prime} $$

To properly manage security, it is very important to manage users and user groups. You may set the share access parameters of each user or user group accordingly.

Create Users and Assign Users to User Group

The following example demonstrates how to create new users and assign users to a user group.

ABC Co. has recently recruited two employees Mr. Jones Lee for Administration Department and Ms. Jane Wu for Sales Department. The IT Department therefore needs to create two user accounts for them to access company data on ND-52000.

i. To create a user account, go to User Management-Users. Click Create.

ii. Enter the user name (Jones Lee/ Jane Wu) and password. Check the box "Continue to set the user groups to which this user belongs" and click OK.

iii. Select the user groups the users belong to on the right list, i.e. Mr. Jones Lee for Administration Dept and Ms. Jane Wu for Sales Dept, and click Add. Then click Close.

iv. After creating the users, the users will appear on the list on Create User Page.

Create Private Network Share for User Groups

You can create particular network share for each user group. The procedure is described as below:

1. To create a network share called media accessible by Administration

Department only, please go to "User Management—User Groups" page.

Select the user group Administration Dept and click Create Private Network

Share on the right.

1. Enter the network share name media. Select to disk volume that the share will be created in and specify the path automatically or manually. Enter the comment for the network share, e.g. media folder for Admin Dept and click

Enter new network share's name, volume and path. Only users that are the members of Administration Dept user group can access this network share.

1. You can see the folder media in Network Share Management page.

1. Enter Access Control. You can see that only Administration Dept has full access right to the folder.

6.7.3 Quota

To allocate disk volume efficiently, you can specify the quota that can be used by each user. When this function is enabled and a user has reached his/her disk quota, he/she cannot upload data to the server anymore. By default, no limitations are set for users. You can modify the following two options:

i. Enable quota for all users
ii. Quota size on each disk volume

Please refer to the following example to configure the quota setting of users:

The IT department is planning to set the disk quota of Mr. Jones Lee from

Administration Department and Ms. Jane Wu from Sales Department on ND-

1. The disk quota is 2000MB for Mr. Jones Lee and 4000MB for Ms. Jane Wu.

2. Please go to Quota page in User Management to enable quota for all users.

Enter the quota size on each disk volume, e.g. 1000MB. The quota for individual user can be modified later.

1. Select Jones Lee on User page and click Quota Settings on the right.

1. Enter the quota size 2000MB and click OK.

1. Follow the same steps and enter the quota size 4000MB for Jane Wu and click OK. The quota setting is successfully applied.

6.8 Network Share Management

Appendix B Configuring AD Authentication

AD environment mixed mode can be supported by ND-52000. For example, qatest.com.tw and sub2.qatest.com.tw are domains controlled by Windows 2003 server, and sub1.qatest.com.tw domain is controlled by Windows 2000 server.

Please make sure you have enabled the Active Directory Service on the Windows Server and check the following items:

1. DNS Server setting on ND-52000 has to be directed to AD server.
2. ND-52000 and AD server can synchronize only if their time difference is less than 5 minutes.
3. ND-52000 and AD server will synchronize each 5 minute. To configure the settings manually, ND-52000 has to be set as standalone mode and then added to AD domain.
4. When adding ND-52000 to AD domain, please login by domain_name\Username. ND-52000 local user cannot login AD domain.
5. Inter-network segments can be used.
6. If you are using NT Domain, please select standalone mode when you want to upgrade the system, then join AD domain.
7. It is suggested to use Windows 2000 Service Pack 4, or Windows 2003 Service Pack 1.
8. When ND-52000 is added to AD domain, the authority of "everyone" will not work, "everyone" is the original account of ND-52000, but doesn't include AD. Therefore the authority has to be reset.
9. The DNS setting on Windows 2000 server should be added as "Active Directory DNS", the server should be rebooted after DNS setting is set.
10. You should use the full domain name on the AD setting of ND-52000. For example, if your FQDN name of AD server is "ad.test.com.tw", you should use "test.com.tw" as the ad domain setting on ND-52000.
11. The DNS setting on AD server should have the IP of AD server itself.
12. You must change the password of "administrator" after you create "Active Directory" service on AD server.
13. The DNS server on the AD Server should have two records on it.

For example, AD Server Name: 2003tc.testad.com

DNS record on DNS Server

2003tc.testad.com A 192.168.1.100

testad.com A 192.168.1.100
