sharing device) within the network, you can use this option. When you activate a

DHCP option, a connection with a web menu is disconnected. Therefore please

check the new IP address through a NAS Detector program. Because DHCP

actively renews its IP address on a regular basis, this may create an unintentional

IP address change. Hence you need to be careful use DHCP set-up.

※

If you set up an automatic assignment of IP address but there is no DHCP

server within the network, you will receive an automatic assignment of a link local

address such as 169.254.XXX.XXX . It is available when you directly connect PC

with the network cable, and in this case IP address set-up of the PC should be

selected as ‘Obtain an IP address automatically ’ as well.

You are able to connect LG Network Storage with the domain name from the outside using

DDNS..(example : http://myname.lgnas.com , or ftp://myname.lgnas.com) In case of using a

ﬁxed IP, it is possible to connect to the server from the internet by remembering IP address.

However in a changing IP environment where IP changes at certain time, DDNS provides a

convenient connection environment. It performs monitoring of a changing IP address real-

time, and does mapping in domain name. Consequently it is not necessary to memorize IP

address changing continuously, and you will have a ﬁxed address.

Move to Remote access

(DDNS) tab after clicking

Network menu.

After selecting DDNS ‘En-

able’ enter the name of

domain and password you

want.

Click on ‘apply’ button.

Cautions

volume the user stores. In order for data to be saved on to LG Network

Storage, volume must be set up. If the volume is not conﬁgured, you can-

not connect to the network drive nor use functions such as backing up

using USB or an optical disk.

This product provides the following 5 volume conﬁguration methods for

the user’s requirement

- RAID 0(Stripping)

- RAID 1(Mirroring) for important data

- linear(JBOD) volume

- RAID 1(Mirroring) + RAID 0(Stripping)

- Individual disks(disk1,disk2)

※

When you ﬁrst purchase the product, the volume is already organized.

Therefore please use this menu only when you wish to change the volume

organization set-up.

When organizing a volume, certain section of the hard disk is assigned as

a system section of LG Network Storage. Consequently a capacity of the

volume after the volume organization appears smaller than the capacity

of the hard disk.

To conﬁgure the volume, follow the below procedures. Conﬁguration of the volume will

remove all existing user’s data in the hard disk and will not be recovered.

※

In the process of volume conﬁguration, the web menu and the buttons in the front will

not be available.

Go to System -> Hard drive ->

Volume tab

The name of the conﬁgured vol-

ume and detailed information

will appear. Detailed information

will not appear if volume is not

conﬁgured.

disk itself, deterioration, shock etc. When the physical bad sector is generated, it is better

to replace the hard disk.

logical bad sector bad sector of the hard disk is when a faulty is generated in the status

information of the pertinent sector, and it can be restored through a separate operation.

Active BSR cannot restore physical bad sector. If the physical bad sector is detected,

leave it on the system log and quit more of an attempt of restoration.

Incremental back-up and Full back-up

LG Network Storage supports two types namely, incremental back-up and full back-

up for the back-up of mobile storage device. For the location in which mobile storage

device is backed up, there are user assigned folder and last backup folder.

- Incremental : All of the data of the assigned mobile storage device are backed up in

the Last Backup folder. In the folder user assigned, only added contents are backed up

when compared to the last backup folder previously backed up.

- Full : It performs back-up for the whole original ﬁle. Unlike incremental back-up, full

back-up contains the whole back-up contents in the folder user assigned..(It does not

save separately in the Last Backup folder)

This is an example about Incremental back-up and Full back-up. On ﬁrst back-

up(January 1st 2009), USB contains ﬁles as in the following.

ex 1)

in this case, when USB back-up proceeds with Incremental type, folder of

the pertinent date of back-up is created and above ﬁles are saved. At the

same time, last backup folder is created and all of the ﬁles currently present

in USB are backed up. At this time, system folder is created as follows.

In a folder of a lower level

a.txt/b.txt/c.txt created

On second back-up, (January 2nd 2009), a.txt and b.txt are deleted, d.txt and e.txt

are added. At this time, USB contains ﬁles as follows.

ex 2)

A folder with the date of back-up is created and only added or changed

ﬁles are saved there on second back-up as well. As in above case, only

added d.txt and e.txt are saved. And last backup is ﬁlled with ﬁles that are

currently present in USB.

16-1. Supplement Volume Construction & RAID Conﬁguration

This section describes volume conﬁguration and supported RAID level.

1. Single Disk (None) volumes

The volume can be conﬁgured to each Disk without conﬁguring the RAID. This issimi-

lar to methods with general PCs that use Disks.

If the Disk is damaged, the damaged Disk data may be lost.

2. Mirroring volumes

Data can be exactly replicated to the Disk through this technique. If one Disk becomes

damaged in the volume, data can be efﬁciently transferred, saved and backed up to

another conﬁgured Disk. The volume’s storage capacity is equal to that of the smallest

Disk in the RAID1, as the data is reproduced from Disk to Disk. The data backup is a

priority during RAID1.

The saving of important data is recommended.

_{Download from Www.Somanuals.c}1_om0_.6_{All Manuals Search And Download.}

16-1. Supplement Volume Construction & RAID Conﬁguration

3. RAID0 striping volume

The Disks are conﬁgured in parallel so that they are all being used at once to store

data, as if they were one Disk in summation. Because the data is saved to each Disk in

parallel, many ﬁles of low capacity are read simultaneously but with superior efﬁciency.

Many low capacity ﬁles are read because multiple blocks of data are stored to each

Disk, though the performance is excellent at this time. In order to secure data stored,

Information is not read when at least one Disk is damaged. Subsequently, if the Disk is

damaged, the saved data in the volume will be lost.

The storage capacity of the volume as a whole is the sum of the capacities of all of the

Disks.

This technique must not be used for the saving of important data, but rather for fast

data access and for maintenance of the security of its volume capacity.

4. JBOD Linear volume

The Disks are conﬁgured in series so that they are all being used at once to store

data, as if they were one Disk in summation. The volume’s storage capacity can be

maximized, as the data is stored to the Disks in sequence. Data must not be written

in the event of a damaged Disk to safeguard saving capacity. In this way, if a Disk is

damaged, saved date in the volume will be lost. The storage capacity of the volume as

a whole is the sum of the capacities of all of the Disks. To maximize the safeguard of

capacity of the volume, saving of important data is not recommended.
