NDAS Bind Management (Advance user only)
NOTE: ONLY available for the Windows 2000/XP network
If you have more then one INTEGRAL LAN you can connect them together in Bind Mode to provide immense
storage capabilities. You can connect up to 8 enclosures together to form a single logical storage unit.
WARNING :
Binding and unbinding the drives may result in complete loss of data on all devices
in that array!
Disclaimer:
In no event shall Akasa be liable for loss of data caused by any defect or usage of
INTEGRAL LAN (including advance features)
There are three ways to bind: Aggregation, RAID0 and RAID1.
AGGREGATION
Allows any number between 2 and 8 of INTEGRAL LAN units to be recognized as a single large drive.
• Extremely useful when a larger storage device is needed.
• No fault tolerance. If one unit fails, all data is lost.
STRIPE (RAID 0)
Allows 2, 4, or 8 INTEGRAL LAN units to be recognized as a single large disk drive.
• Allows faster performance when writing.
• Extremely useful when a larger storage device is needed.
• No fault tolerance. If one unit fails, all data is lost.
MIRROR (RAID 1)
Allows 2, 4, 6 or 8 INTEGRAL LAN units to be mirrored at the same time.
• Fault tolerant. If one unit fails, data is retrieved from other units.
• Can also Mirror NDAS devices that have been aggregated.
The Bind Management Restrictions:
• Each INTEGRAL LAN must have Write Key entered during key registration
• It is not possible to Bind INTEGRAL LAN units that are already Bound
• INTEGRAL LAN units that are being Bound must be in Connected Mode (unmounted) on all PCs (including
the PC performing the Bind)
• The INTEGRAL LAN unit being Bound must be formatted as NTFS file system
• Aggregation, RAID0 and RAID1 can only be performed in Windows XP and Windows 2000
