Linksys Small Business NSS4000 and NSS6000 Series Network Storage System Administration Guide 1

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Linksys Business Series Network Storage

System (NSS).

Administering a network can be a difficult job. Finding low-cost ways to simplify

your data-management tasks means that you have more resources to dedicate

elsewhere. The NSS is a Network Attached Storage (NAS) unit that appears as a

native file server for the various clients within your network, including Windows,

Apple Macintosh, UNIX, and Linux platforms. The biggest benefit to your users is

that they can now access data that might be stored across different physical

platforms as simply as if it were on their own computers. The NSS provides a

single repository that is completely dedicated to storage, ensuring the integrity,

reliability, and accessibility of your data for a relatively low cost.

The NSS lets you install up to four physical disk drives and virtualize your storage

into one or more logical, redundant storage units or RAID arrays. The NSS uses the

most common file-based protocols such as NFS, CIFS, and FTP for file sharing.

Benefits

The NSS offers these main advantages to your business:

•Cross-platform File Sharing: Share files easily and inexpensively across

different platforms over a cost-effective Ethernet and IP network.

•Easy Installation and Administration: With a basic understanding of

networking, the NSS is easily configured, managed and made available to

all of your users on the network.

•Data Consolidation: Centralize data to reduce management costs and

maximize your investment in existing hardware. This also means better

data security.

Introduction

About This Guide

Linksys Small Business NSS4000 and NSS6000 Series Network Storage System Administration Guide 2

About This Guide

The

Linksys Business Series Network Storage System Administrator Guide

describes the Administrative features that are available for you to configure and

optimize your NSS. If you are setting up your system for the first time, refer to the

Linksys Business Series Network Storage System Getting Started Guide

Recommended Installation Sequence

Installing the NSS system involves a series of steps, from setting up the hardware

to configuring the device. Certain activities must take place before others may be

attempted (for example, you must set the User and Group ID ranges must be set

before you join the NSS to the domain.

STEP 1 Set up the hardware:

a. Install the disk drive. Skip this step if you have an NSS4100 or NSS6100 as

they are already equipped with disk drives.

b. Connect the Ethernet link(s).

c. Connect the power.

STEP 2 Configure the NSS:

a. Log into the Configuration Interface.

b. Configure the time setting (options include NTP or manual).

c. Configure RAID(s). You can choose to skip this step if you have an NSS4100 or

NSS6100 as it is preconfigured with a RAID5 array.

d. Create the volume(s).

e. If you have multiple NSS units (one of which is a NSS6000 series unit), and you

want to virtualize your storage, set the export/Import of the virtualized arrays.

f. Configure the Network Domain Identification (NT4, Active Directory, NIS, etc.).

g. Set up the User and Group ID ranges (this enables the import of groups/users

from Domain Controllers)

h. Set up the users’ Home Directory Location (this enables you to set up local

users).
