17.7 Storage Volumes
I want to use my external (SATA) hard disk to create a RAID 1 volume but I
cannot see RAID 1 in the list when I click Create a SATA volume.
Refer to Section 4.2.1 on page 60 for a tutorial on how to create a RAID 1
volume.
Make sure that the eSATA hard disk is connected to the NSA’s eSATA port
located in the device’s rear panel. The eSATA LED’s light should be on.
The capacity of your eSATA hard disk must be equal to or greater than the
internal (SATA) hard disk capacity.
If the eSATA hard disk is detected by the NSA but you still do not see RAID 1 in
the list, check if the internal hard disk is already configured as a JBOD volume.
Note that after installing the firmware on the internal hard disk, the internal
hard disk is configured as a JBOD volume by default. If this is the case, create a
RAID 1 volume by clicking the Migrate button (Section 4.2.2 on page 60) in the
Storage > Volume screen.
•The RAID 1 option when you click the Create a SATA volume button is only
visible when there are no existing volumes in your NSA.
I want to choose another storage method for my internal (SATA) hard disk/
external (SATA) hard disk.
If you are not using an eSATA hard disk, JBOD is the only storage method you
can use for your internal hard disk.
If you are using an eSATA hard disk, you can configure the internal hard disk
and the external hard disk as a RAID 1 volume.
For the eSATA hard disk alone, you can configure it as a JBOD or PC
Compatible Volume.
If you want to change an existing storage method for your hard disk, go to the
Storage > Volume screen. Delete the volume you want to configure again.
Deleting an existing volume in the NSA deletes all data in that
volume.
One of the hard disks (in a RAID 1 volume) failed.
