authentication, NAS disaster recovery protection, NIC channel bonding, telnet, e-mail alerts, SNMP, NDMP, Web
browser management; supports Windows 98/ME/XP/NT/2000, HP-UX, SUN Solaris, Red Hat Linux, SCO
UnixWare, and IBM AIX; all software factory pre-configured; typical system startup in minutes.
Cluster
The HP NAS 8000 cluster has two NAS servers that function as one complete system to provide fail over services
for each other. The HA configuration uses fully integrated MC/ServiceGuard functionality to provide two-way
clustering, SMB/CIFS and NFS fail-over, active/active and active/passive, automatic and manual fail over. Cluster
management allows the NAS servers to be managed as one device through the Command View NAS interface.
The main purpose of high-availability clusters is to provide a higher degree of storage availability to client systems
than is possible with a single server. This is accomplished by eliminating single points of failure and providing
functional redundancy. Uninterrupted service is provided by failing over file serving capabilities to a secondary
NAS server when one of the clustered NAS servers fails.
Operating System
The HP NAS 8000 operating system is optimized for file serving in heterogeneous (CIFS and NFS) network
environments. The appliance-like nature of the OS ensures robustness, manageability and efficiency for the IT
Administrator. The NAS 8000 OS provides the base feature set for robust, high performance file serving in UNIX,
Windows, and mixed UNIX/Windows environments from either a dedicated storage array or a SAN. It supports
NFSv2 (UNIX clients), NFSv3 (UNIX clients), and CIFS (Window clients) file serving protocols. For Windows
clients, the NAS 8000 OS implements a complete Windows ACL (Access Control List) implementation, modeled
from Windows 2000 semantics.
Administration Interface
HP Command View NAS management software is a graphical user interface that runs in a web browser. This
software provides an easy-to-use interface for configuring, managing, and monitoring the NAS 8000. Some of the
highlights of Command View NAS are:
•
Configuration Wizard, which leads the installer or administrator through the NAS 8000 configuration tasks.
These same tasks are available outside of the Wizard format for post-installation changes.
• A status page that provides quick access to the NAS server status, clustering status (for high-availability
configurations), and array status for any dedicated arrays.
• A storage management page that facilitates the setup and management of user storage, including the
creation of file volumes, SMB shares, NFS exports, snapshots and user/group quotas.
• An applications page, which allows easy access to the graphical user interfaces associated with the Anti-
Virus, OpenView Storage Data Protector, NDMP and snapshot applications.
• A support page that provides access to system logs, logs and diagnostics for dedicated arrays, software
licenses, and links to HP’s support website and the NAS O/S upgrades.
• Context-sensitive help, installation and user guides, and command reference.
• Access to Command View SDM is provided for configurations with dedicated arrays to allow advanced array
management.
HP Command View NAS supports all of the NAS 8000 configurations: dedicated arrays, high-availability, and
SAN.
