Safety warning  
Related to damage to the HDD and data:  
- During installation or disconnection of the system, ensure that the system  
does not experience any external physical shocks.  
- During the operation of the HDD, short surges and stoppages of power,  
which cause the system to turn off and on quickly  
- There may be a sudden stoppage of electricity during operation  
- Avoid moving the system during operation of the HDD, which may cause  
external physical shock  
8
- During the configuration of new volumes.  
i) If during use, existing volumes are deleted and new volumes are created,  
data will be lost.  
ii) Before configuration of new volumes, each user must back up data, as well  
as when creating new volumes, to ensure the possibility of restoration.  
- e.g. virus infections.  
※ Always back up hard disk data to avoid accidental data loss.  
In the event of the administrator forgetting the password, restoration is  
impossible. Hence safeguard the password.  
9
※ To create a new password, the system must be re-initialized. In this case, all  
data will be lost, and data recovery will be impossible, for security reasons.  
The manufacturer disclaims all responsibility in the event of this occurrence.  
In the event of the cover being removed during operation, the user risks  
electric shock, injury, and damage to the system.

Manual IP setup: If the absence of a DHCP server in the network, interface  
information must be entered manually.  
Obtaining an IP address automatically (DHCP): This option is available when  
a DHCP (or a router) is connected to the server. Activation of the DHCP option  
will disconnect the web menu, thus the IP address must be renewed on the LCD  
or through the ‘LAS Detector’ program. The DHCP dynamically renews the IP  
address of the DHCP server periodically, which may trigger an unexpected  
change of IP address, thus the DHCP option must be handled with great  
caution.

Volume  
This section describes information and functions of volume where the user stores data.  
* The LG NAS uses hard disks separated in 3 areas; System, Swap and User.  
- The System is where the LG NAS firmware is installed with 2GB of space allocated.  
- Swap is a virtual memory area to compensate shortage of memory. 256MB are  
allocated.  
- The user composes the LG NAS volume and the remaining space is allocated.  
Total available space of the volume differs according to file system pattern and  
RAID level.

Volume Array Configuration  
This page displays information pertaining to existing state and size of the volume of the  
LG NAS. Configuration is possible through the volume name, configuration disk, RAID  
level, volume state and capacity.  
1) Name  
The name will be divided into a maximum of 4, i.e. Vol1/Vol2/Vol3/Vol4. The check  
box on the left refers to the volume.  
ꢀ) Disk  
The volume configuration will be divided into various hard disk locations and will be  
labeled B1/B2/B3/B4. The configured volume via RAID will appear on a multitude  
of disks.  
ꢁ) RAID  
The RAID level indicates NONE, JBOD, RAID0, RAID1, RAID5, RAID10.  
ꢂ) Status  
The volume’s strange state and work are displayed. The volume’s state is divided  
into active / none / degraded / destroyed / formatting / syncing / migrating.  
-
-
-
‘active’ refers to no abnormality in the volume,  
‘none’ refers to when no RAID is configured,  
‘degraded’ refers to configuration of the abnormal or deleted hard disk process,  
though volume is available for use,  
-
‘destroyed’ refers to configuration of the abnormal or deleted hard disk process,  
and volume is unavailable for use,  
-
-
-
‘formatting’ refers to the process of formatting the volume,  
the ‘syncing’ state refers to the RAID configuration process,  
the ‘migrating’ state refers to the RAID reconfiguration process.

ꢃ) Capacity (Used/Total)  
The amount used and total capacity of volume are displayed. The percentage of  
capacity used (Used/Total) is indicated by the bar on left and full capacity (Total) is  
indicated by the bar on the right.  
Note 1) Total storage represents total available storage, which is defined by file  
system and RAID level.  
The ext3 file system of the LG NAS occupies 1.5% of the total HDD storage, thus  
the actual available storage in a volume is approximately 98.5% of the total  
user storage. When using one HDD per volume (single disk), the total storage is  
equal to the actual available storage of a HDD. The total storage of a RAID-  
based volume differs according to RAID level (JBOD / RAID0 / RAID1 / RAID5 /  
RAID10). For JBOD, the total available storage is the sum of the actual available  
storage of each HDD. For RAID0, the total available storage is the actual  
available storage of the smallest HDD multiplied by the number of HDDs. For  
RAID1, the total available storage is the actual available storage of the smallest  
HDD. For RAID5, the total available storage is the actual available storage of  
the smallest HDD multiplied by (the number of HDDs minus 1). For RAID10,  
which is composed of 5 HDDS, the total available storage is twice that of the  
actual available storage.  
Note ꢀ)The represented size of the HDDs differs depending on manufacturer  
and OS.  
HDD manufacturers use an exponent of 1000 while OSs such as Microsoft  
Windows use exponents of 1024. The total available storage on the LG NAS is  
represented by the exponent 1024.  
Note ꢁ)Volume storage of the LG NAS is the total HDD storage without the  
system area and the swapping area.  
If for example a volume is configured with a 1TB HDD, with 1x1012 bytes of  
storage, user area will be as follows: 1x1012 - 2x109 (system area) - 256x106  
(swapping area) = 997744000000 bytes. This becomes 929Gb when converted  
using the exponent 1024.

or to increase the HDD capacity.  
* Cautionmust be taken when editing; try to avoid data loss due to negligence  
Volume expansion  
This function can increase the capacity preserving the data of the expanding volume.  
The volume capacity can be extended shifting to subsequent identical drives. This  
function is supported in the following volumes.  
- RAID1 expansion  
- RAIDꢃ expansion  
- RAID10 expansion  
Performing another process during the volume configuration will retard processing.  
Volume Migration  
This function allows adding a new hard disk and hence migration to another RAID. This  
option is supported in the following drive configurations.  
- Migration of single disk to RAID1 or RAIDꢃ  
- Migration of RAID1 to RAIDꢃ  
- Migration of ꢁ RAIDꢃ hard disks to ꢂ RAIDꢃ disks

To avoid data obstacles, perform a back up first.  
1. RAID configuration error checkup  
Confirm whether there is an error on the RAID configuration:  
On the System > Volume page, the volume configuration state will show as  
”degraded/destroyed”.  
Confirm which HDD is causing the RAID error.

If the RAID configuration is RAID5 and more than one HDD has an error, the RAID  
cannot be reconfigured, thus volumes need to be reallocated. In this case, no data can  
be recovered.  
ꢀ. Problem solutions  
Remove the HDD that has an error and connect a new hard drive (e.g.: HDD 1), then  
the RAID reconfiguration will start. All date in the newly connected HDD will be lost  
during this process.  
For another failure during reconfiguration, the fault and HDD should be located and the  
following procedure should be observed.  
Error is due to the new HDD.  
The newly connected drive must be exchanged for a new drive, and then  
RAID must be reconfigured.

If the RAID configuration is RAID1, choose between each of the following.  
∙ Back up the volume data on another storage device. Next, reconfigure  
the volume.  
∙ Format the newly connected HDD. Data in the volume where the  
problem has occurred should be backed up by the administrator.  
Separate the HDD in which the error has occurred. Execute RAID1  
reconfiguration after exchanging HDD on the LG NAS.  
b
When RAID configuration is RAID5, the volume state is changed to  
‘destroyed’. The data must be backed up and the system must be  
reconfigured. Some data may be lost during this process.  
When connecting or disconnecting the HDD, strictly adhere to the following  
procedure and avoids abnormal system operation or data obstruction.  
1. In the LG NAS, one HDD can be connected or disconnected at a time.  
2. 10 seconds will lapse before 2 tones are heard when the LG NAS is connected to

Appendix A Volume Construction & RAID Configuration  
This section describes volume configuration and supported RAID level.  
When configuring volume using RAID, the use of Disks of the same manufacturer and  
capacity is recommended to maximize stability and efficiency of configuration. In the  
case that the Disks differ in capacity and trademark, data may be lost due to low system  
stability and efficiency.  
In the case that the volume of the damaged Disk must be amended, relevant data must  
first be backed up.  
Single Disk (None) volumes  
The volume can be configured to each Disk without configuring the RAID. This is  
similar to methods with general PCs that use Disks. If the Disk is damaged, the  
damaged Disk data may be lost.

RAID1 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.

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 saving capacity of the volume is at least the Disk capacity multiplied by the  
number of 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.

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.

RAIDꢃ Parity volume  
The Disks are configured in parallel so as to all be used at once to store data;  
parity (P) suggests that when the Disk is damaged the system will not be affected,  
which is the system that the volume uses. At least 3 Disks are needed as well  
as parity save capacity of 1 Disk, thus 1 Disk can be damaged without system  
malfunction.  
Data backup and the safeguarding of saving capacity occur simultaneously, where  
the volume capacity is equal to the minimum Disk capacity multiplied by the number  
of Disks in the volume minus 1. Due to parity calculation, data saving is retarded.  
Data backup and the safeguarding of saving capacity occur simultaneously.  
- If one Disk is damaged in RAID5, the state of the volume is indicated as “Faulty”.  
The Disk that backs up data must immediately be changed in the event of its  
malfunction. If more Disks are damaged, data will be permanently lost. Thus the  
Disks must be exchanged with either the server off or left on (hot swapping). After  
the Disk is replaced, the volume will be in a “syncing” state. After the backup is  
finished, the system will be in a normal “active” state.

RAID10 Mirroring & striping volumes  
In relation to the volume configuring techniques RAID1 and RAID0, the Disks are  
configured 2 at a time by RAID1, followed by the configured set being associated  
by RAID0 and hence the volume as a whole is configured. With more than 4 Disks  
present, configuration occurs in pairs. 4 Disks are used to configure the LG NAS.  
If Disk damage does not happen simultaneously to 2 Disks configured through  
RAID1, the volume will continue to function. The volume save capacity is equal to  
the product of the minimum Disk capacity and half of the number of Disks in the  
volume.  
Data backup and the safeguarding of saving capacity occur simultaneously. (RAID5  
prioritizes capacity security, where RAID10 prioritizes data backup).
