Storage Management Overview

This section provides an overview of the components that make

up the NAS storage structure. A complete discussion of the

components and their relationships is available in the

administration guide.

Caution: This section on storage management and Windows

DM is required reading material for the NAS administrator.

This section develops the concepts and requirements that

serve as the basis for successfully using an HP StorageWorks

NAS device. Failure to read this section and the appropriate

sections on storage management in the administration guide

may lead to data loss or file corruption.

Storage Management Elements

Storage is divided into three major divisions:

■ Logical storage elements

■ File system elements

■ File sharing elements

Each of these elements is composed of the previous level’s

elements.

Logical Storage Elements

The NAS 1200s uses the Microsoft Disk Manager (DM) for

managing the various types of disk presented to the file system.

Disk Manager has two types of disk presentations: basic disk and

dynamic disk. Each of these types of disk has special features that

enable different types of management. The NAS 1200s uses a

dynamic RAID5 volume to ensure maximum data protection.
