Integrating Orphaned Expansion Units
Expansion units that have been discovered by GuardianOS (for example, are newly connected
to the SnapServer) but have not been integrated with the SnapServer are listed on the Orphan
Expansion Units Table accessed by the message link in the banner at the top of the
administration pages.
The information shown is covered in the following table:
If you want to use the expansion unit with the SnapServer, check the box next to the orphaned
expansion unit you want to integrate and click
OK
.
CAUTION: Before integrating an orphaned expansion unit, be sure that it is compatible with the
SnapServer. For example, the expansion is unconfigured or configured for the same RAID mode
(Traditional RAID or DynamicRAID) as the SnapServer itself.
RDX QuikStor
RDX QuikStor, a media-based removable storage system, is now directly accessible through
the Web Management Interface. It can be used to manually copy files for quick off-site data
redundancy and to transfer files between SnapServers and other servers or clients without
using the network.
Whenever an RDX QuikStor appliance is plugged into a USB port of the server, it
automatically shows up in the Web Management Interface at
Storage > RDX QuikStor
.
NOTE: GOS is only able to mount RDX volumes that are formatted with NTFS (default) or XFS.
