1-16 GUI Quick Start: Network Setup

Setting Up Storage Services

The preceding section described the first wizard in the GUI’s Common Operations

page. You can use the remaining wizards to set up storage services on the ARX. These

wizards are sufficient for most installations, and they introduce you to all of the major

configuration objects in the GUI and CLI. To edit or expand the configurations later,

you can use the detailed editing screens. These screens are accessible through the

navigation panel on the left side of the screen.

The major storage-configuration components are namespaces, volumes, and virtual

services. A namespace is a container for one or more volumes; it defines the protocol

(NFS and/or CIFS) and authentication parameters that are common to its volumes. A

volume aggregates the storage from one or more back-end file servers and is offered

to clients as a single storage unit. A virtual service exposes a volume to NFS and/or

CIFS clients. The GUI Quick Start Guide: NFS Storage explains how to set up NFS

storage, and the GUI Quick Start Guide: CIFS Storage explains how to set up CIFS.

To set up storage from the CLI, follow the instructions in the CLI

Storage-Management Guide.

Once you have at least one volume configured and exposed through a virtual service,

you can use storage-management policies to balance the storage load on your

back-end file servers, arrange for tiers of storage, create a continuously-updated

shadow copy of your volume, and/or migrate groups of files to file servers of your

choosing. The wizards under

Storage Management Policies lead you through the

process of configuring each of these policies.
