Chapter 8: Revision up dated (FW 3.00.03 to 3.00.04) What’s New There are additional fe atures implemented i nto the 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 enabled whil e the RAID is created and followed by password input for identification.
RAID volumes with encryption enabled 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, setup the physical capacity for iSCSI thi n-provision volu me 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-provisioning volu me is available from the li st.
Now you can start to create iSCSI targ ets to join the ne wly-created iSCSI thin-prov ision volume. Basically, t he iSCSI target under iSCSI th in-provision ing has exactly same settings screen as the standard i SCSI targ et volume creation. The onl y difference is the “Virtual Size” of capaci ty.
The screen shot for iSCSI target volume creation under thi n-provisioning; the physical capacity 333.8GB. The scree n shot to setup an iSCSI target volu me under thin-provisioning of 1700GB. iSCSI target volume creation. The maximum vi rtual 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 volu me unde r thin-provisioning has been created wi th a capacity of 14300GB. This message appears i f there is no more room for new iSCSI target creation.
Error Corrections None 127.
Chapter 9: Revision updated up to FW 3.00.08 What’s New There are additional features impl emented into the new 3.00.08 version firmware. Updated Login User Interface There is a brand new design for the admin login UI. NOTE The previous chapters hav e screenshots of the origina l user interface.

For the target side to allow source cross data, the Rsync target server needs to first sele ct “Enable” and then assign a username and password for authentication.
enable the sync target server and inpu t a valid username and password to gr ant access permission. Added 2 nd Gateway for Clients of DHCP Server Route The adding of a 2 nd gateway has been phased in to serve clients that use their Thecus NAS as a DHCP server to have another route to bala nce traffic bandwidth.

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 perf ormance. A RAI D system accesses several hard disks simultaneous ly, which improves I/O performanc e over a single hard disk.
RAID 5 RAID 5 offers data secu rity and it is best s uited for networks that perform many small I/O transactions at the same time, as well as applications that require data security such as offi ce automati on a nd online customer service. Use it also for applications with high read re quests but low write requests.
Disk Usage When all 7 disks are of the same size , and used in RAID, N8800SAS 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.
