Setup Completion and Basic Administrative Procedures
28 NAS 1000s Administration Guide
Setup Completion
After the NAS device is physically set up and the basic configuration is established, additional
setup steps must be completed. Depending on the deployment scenario of the NAS device,
these steps may vary.
Additional setup steps may include:
â– Managing system storage
â– Creating and managing users and groups
â– Creating and managing file shares
â– Installing and configuring data replication software
Each of these setup steps is discussed in the following sections.
Managing System Storage
The NAS administrator uses Logical Disk Manager to manage disks and volumes, and uses
Persistent Storage Manager to manage snapshots. See the following chapters for more detailed
information on managing system storage:
â– Chapter 3, Persistent Storage Manager, discusses snapshot management procedures.
â– Chapter 5, Folder and Share Management, discusses folder and share management
procedures.
Creating and Managing Users and Groups
User and group information and permissions determine whether a user can access files. If the
NAS device is deployed into a workgroup environment, this user and group information is
stored locally on the device. By contrast, if the NAS device is deployed into a domain
environment, user and group information is stored on the domain.
To enter local user and group information, see Chapter 4, User and Group Management.
The following information is included:
â– Domain compared to workgroup environments
â– User and group name planning
— Managing user names

â– Workgroup user and group management

â– Drive quotas
