        • Not encrypted: Data is not encrypted during transfer.
          NOTE:

          Security risks may arise if encryption is not enabled. You are advised to select SSL/TLS or STARTTLS.

        • SSL/TLS: SSL and TLS are security protocols for data security and integrity during network communication. After this option is selected, the system selects between the two security protocols according to the email server type to encrypt data.
        • STARTTLS: After this option is selected, TLS encryption will be implemented. Previous communication data will not be retroactively encrypted using this mode.
          NOTE:
          • If you select SSL/TLS or STARTTLS, you can determine whether to enable the email CA certificate.
          • The encryption mode configured on the storage system must be the same as that configured on the SMTP server.

        Authenticate SMTP Server

        Indicates whether the SMTP server authenticates a sender's identity.

        Username

        Sender's SMTP user name. If a sender attempts to send alarm notification emails through an SMTP server, the server requires the sender to enter the SMTP user name and password for authentication.

        NOTE:

        The value cannot be empty and must contain 1 to 63 characters.

        Password

        Sender's SMTP user password. If a sender attempts to send alarm notification emails through an SMTP server, the server requires the sender to enter the SMTP user name and password for authentication.

        NOTE:
        • The value cannot be empty and must contain 1 to 63 characters.
        • A valid password cannot contain extended ASCII characters or Unicode characters. It is recommended that a password contain the following characters: digits (0 to 9), letters (a to z and A to Z), spaces, and special characters ([]^_{|}~`@!"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?).

        Email Title Prefix

        Sender-defined email title field. If there are too many emails, users can search for desired emails using this field.

        NOTE:
        • The length ranges from 0 to 511 bytes and cannot contain single quotation marks (').
        • In addition to user-defined fields, you can also select Device name, Alarm ID, Alarm severity, or Alarm description. After an option is selected, the selected information is displayed in the title of the alarm email notification.

        Parameter

        Description

        Name

        Name of the storage pool.

        [Value range]
        • The name must be unique.
        • The name contains only letters, digits, periods (.), underscores (_), and hyphens (-).
        • The name contains 1 to 255 characters.

        Description

        Description of the storage pool.

        Data Encryption

        Indicates whether to enable data encryption for all self-encrypting disks (SEDs) in the storage pool.

        • If this function is disabled, the storage pool is not encrypted.
        • If this function is enabled, the storage pool is encrypted. Ensure that you select only SEDs.
        NOTE:

        If this function is enabled, the system automatically checks whether the key service has been configured. If the key service has not been configured, the system will prompt you to configure the key service.

        Redundancy Policy

        Redundancy policy of the storage pool. Possible options are Disk redundancy and Enclosure redundancy.

        • Disk redundancy: Chunks in a chunk group come from different SSDs. With this redundancy policy used, the system can tolerate disk failures within the RAID redundancy.
        • Enclosure redundancy: Chunks in a chunk group come from different SSDs and are distributed in different enclosures. In addition, the number of chunk columns in each enclosure does not exceed the RAID redundancy. With this redundancy policy used, the system can tolerate a single disk enclosure failure without service interruption and data loss.
        NOTE:
        • Some device models do not support enclosure redundancy. For details about device models that support this function, see Product Description published on the technical support website or consult your product provider.
        • The redundancy policy of a storage pool cannot be changed once being specified during storage pool creation.
        • If Enclosure redundancy is selected, select the controller enclosures and disk enclosures to which the storage pool belongs.

        RAID Policy

        RAID policy of the storage pool. Dynamic RAID is used.

        Dynamic RAID reconstruction uses the erasure coding (EC) algorithm, which dynamically adjusts the number of chunks in a chunk group under all-SSD configurations to ensure system reliability and capacity. If a chunk is faulty and no chunk is available from disks outside the storage pool, the system dynamically reconstructs the original N+M chunks to (N-1)+M chunks. When a new SSD is inserted, the system migrates data from the (N-1)+M chunks to the newly constructed N+M chunks for efficient disk usage.

        The RAID levels are defined as follows:

        • RAID 5: Parity data is distributed on different chunks. In each chunk group, the parity data occupies the space of one chunk. RAID 5 is able to tolerate the failure on only one chunk. If two or more chunks fail, data in the chunk group cannot be recovered.
        • RAID 6: Parity data is distributed on different chunks. In each chunk group, the parity data occupies the space of two chunks. RAID 6 is able to tolerate simultaneous failures on two chunks. If three or more chunks fail, data in the chunk group cannot be recovered.
        • RAID-TP: Parity data is distributed on different chunks. In each chunk group, the parity data occupies the space of three chunks. RAID-TP is able to tolerate simultaneous failures on three chunks. If four or more chunks fail, data in the chunk group cannot be recovered.
        NOTE:
        • When Redundancy Policy is set to Disk redundancy, possible options for this parameter are RAID 5, RAID 6, and RAID-TP.
        • When Redundancy Policy is set to Enclosure redundancy, possible options for this parameter are RAID 6 and RAID-TP.

        Controller Enclosure

        Select the controller enclosures to which the storage pool belongs.

        NOTE:

        This parameter is available only when Redundancy Policy is set to Disk redundancy.

        Controller Enclosure and Disk Enclosure

        Click Select. On the Select Controller Enclosure and Disk Enclosure page that is displayed, select the controller enclosures and disk enclosures to which the storage pool belongs and click OK.

        When Redundancy Policy is set to Enclosure redundancy, disks in the storage pool must come from at least four enclosures (including controller enclosures and disk enclosures). That is:

        • For a 2 U device, disks in the storage pool must come from at least one controller enclosure and three disk enclosures or at least four disk enclosures.
        • For a 4 U device, disks in the storage pool must come from at least four disk enclosures.
        NOTE:

        This parameter is available only when Redundancy Policy is set to Enclosure redundancy.

        SmartTier

        Manually select drives of the SCM and SSD types to activate SmartTier.

        SCM drive types include SCM drives.

        SSD drive types include SSDs and NVMe SSDs.

        NOTE:

        This parameter is available only when Redundancy Policy is set to Disk redundancy and the selected controller enclosure contains SCM drives.

        Storage Pool Capacity

        Set the capacity of the storage pool.

        When Redundancy Policy is set to Disk redundancy, parameters, including Capacity per Disk, Type, Available Disks, and Selectable Disks per Controller Enclosure, are displayed in the function pane of Storage Pool Capacity. In the text box of Required Disks, enter the number of disks in each controller enclosure used to create the storage pool.

        When Redundancy Policy is set to Enclosure redundancy, parameters, including Capacity per Disk, Type, Available Disks, and Selectable Disks per Disk Enclosure, are displayed in the function pane of Storage Pool Capacity. In the text box of Required Disks, enter the number of disks in each disk enclosure used to create the storage pool. Select at least three disks from each disk enclosure.

        NOTE:

        You can click Select to manually select disks.

        Hot Spare Policy

        Hot spare policy of the storage pool. Hot spare space stores data from the failed member disks to ensure system continuity and reliability.

        [Value range]

        None, Low (1 disk), High (2 disks), Custom (3 disks), Custom (4 disks), Custom (5 disks), Custom (6 disks), Custom (7 disks), and Custom (8 disks)

        [Default value]

        Low (1 disk)

        NOTE:

        Hot spare capacity is provided by all member disks in each storage pool because the storage system uses RAID 2.0+ virtualization technology. For ease of understanding, the hot spare capacity is expressed in the number of hot spare disks on DeviceManager.

        Capacity Alarm Threshold (%)

        When the percentage of the storage pool's allocated capacity to its total capacity reaches this threshold, the system generates a capacity alarm.

        A proper capacity alarm threshold helps you monitor the capacity usage of a storage pool.

        [Value range]

        1 to 95

        Capacity Used Up Alarm Threshold (%)

        When the percentage of the storage pool's allocated capacity to its total capacity reaches this threshold, the system generates an alarm indicating that the capacity is being used up. The severity of this alarm is higher than that of the capacity alarm.

        [Value range]

        2 to 99

        NOTE:

        The value of Capacity Used Up Alarm Threshold (%) must be greater than that of Capacity Alarm Threshold (%).

        Protection Data Auto Deletion

        Indicates whether to automatically delete earliest scheduled HyperCDP objects when the percentage of the protection capacity to the storage pool's total capacity reaches Protection Capacity Upper Limit (%). The automatic deletion stops when the percentage becomes less than Protection Capacity Lower Limit (%).

        Protection Capacity Lower Limit (%)

        Lower limit for the percentage of the protection capacity to the storage pool's total capacity for the system to stop deleting earliest scheduled HyperCDP objects.

        NOTE:

        This parameter is available only when Protection Data Auto Deletion is enabled.

        [Value range]

        1 to 95

        Protection Capacity Upper Limit (%)

        Maximum allowable percentage of the protection capacity to the storage pool's total capacity. After this threshold is reached, the system automatically deletes earliest scheduled HyperCDP objects.

        NOTE:
        • This parameter is available only when Protection Data Auto Deletion is enabled.
        • The value of Protection Capacity Upper Limit (%) must be greater than that of Protection Capacity Lower Limit (%).

        [Value range]

        2 to 99

          Name of a DNS zone.

          NOTE:
          • This parameter is available only when Data Protocol is set to NFS, CIFS, or NFS + CIFS.
          • If the value is blank, the logical port is not used for DNS-based load balancing.
          • One logical port can be associated with only one DNS zone. One DNS zone can be associated with multiple logical ports.
          • A DNS zone can be associated with both IPv4 and IPv6 logical ports.
          • The load balancing effect varies with the distribution of logical ports associated with a DNS zone. To obtain a better load balancing effect, ensure that logical ports associated with a DNS zone are evenly distributed among controllers.
        4. Click OK.
      • To modify a logical port:
        1. Click More on the right of the desired logical port, and select Modify.

          The Modify Logical Port page is displayed.

          Some device models do not support the NFS protocol. For details about device models that support this function, see Product Description published on the technical support website or consult your product provider.

          Table 7 Logical port parameters

          Parameter

          Description

          Name

          Name of the logical port.

          The name must meet the following requirements:

          • The name must be unique.
          • The value can contain only letters, digits, underscores (_), hyphens (-), and periods (.).
          • The name contains 1 to 255 characters.

          IP Address Type

          IP address type of the logical port, which can be IPv4 or IPv6.

          NOTE:

          When Data Protocol is NFS, only IPv4 addresses are supported.

          IP Address

          IPv4 or IPv6 address of the logical port.

          NOTE:

          When Data Protocol is NFS, only IPv4 addresses are supported.

          Subnet Mask

          Subnet mask of the logical port's IPv4 address.

          NOTE:

          This parameter is available only when IP Address Type is set to IPv4.

          Prefix

          Prefix length of the logical port's IPv6 address.

          NOTE:

          This parameter is available only when IP Address Type is set to IPv6.

          Gateway

          Gateway of the logical port's IP address.

          Port Type

          Type of the port to which the logical port belongs. The value can be Ethernet port, bond port, or VLAN.

          NOTE:

          This parameter is modifiable when Data Protocol is set to NFS, CIFS, or NFS + CIFS.

          Home Port

          Ethernet port, bond port, or VLAN to which the logical port belongs.

          Failover Group

          Name of a failover group.

          NOTE:
          • This parameter is available only when Data Protocol is NFS.
          • If a failover group is specified, services on the failed home port will be taken over by an available port in the specified failover group.
          • If no failover group is specified, services on the failed home port will be taken over by an available port in the default failover group.

          IP Address Failover

          After IP address failover is enabled, services on the failed home port will be taken over by other available ports in the failover group. In the entire process, the IP address used by services remains unchanged.

          NOTE:
          • This parameter is available only when Data Protocol is NFS.
          • Shares of file systems do not support the multipathing mode. They use IP address failover to improve the reliability of links.

          Failback Mode

          After the fault of the home port is rectified, services fail back to the home port. Possible values are Automatic and Manual.

          NOTE:
          • This parameter is available only when Data Protocol is NFS.
          • If Failback Mode is Manual, ensure that the link to the home port is normal before the failback. Services will manually fail back to the home port only when the link to the home port keeps normal for over five minutes.
          • If Failback Mode is Automatic, ensure that the link to the home port is normal before the failback. Services will automatically fail back to the home port only when the link to the home port keeps normal for over five minutes.
        3. Click OK.
      • To manage routes:
        1. Select the desired logical port and click Manage Route.
