IP alias ranges
When adding an IP alias you can include an IP address range as well as individual
addresses. For example:
• 10.10.10.1 - 10.10.10.50
• 10.10.10.1 - 10.10.20.100
Configuring RAID
FortiAnalyzer units containing multiple hard disks can store data using a RAID
array to provide redundant storage, data protection, faster hard disk access, or a
larger storage capacity.
RAID settings can be configured from the Dashboard, in the RAID Monitor widget
as well as from System > Config > RAID.
RAID levels
All FortiAnalyzer units support standard RAID levels 0, 1, 5 and 10. Other RAID
support varies by model:
• FortiAnalyzer-100A/100B: none
• FortiAnalyzer-400: Linear, 0, 1, 5, 10 (RAID5 is configured in the CLI)
• FortiAnalyzer-800/800B: Linear, 0, 1, 5, 10 (RAID5 is configured in the CLI)
• FortiAnalyzer-2000/2000A: 0, 10 5, 50, 5 with hot spare
• FortiAnalyzer-4000/4000A: 0, 10 5, 50, 5 with hot spare
If a hard disk fails, and the selected RAID level cannot be accomplished using the
number of remaining hard disks, the FortiAnalyzer unit rebuilds the RAID using
the default RAID level. Default RAID level varies by model. By default,
FortiAnalyzer models with hardware RAID controllers use RAID 5; models with
software RAID controllers use RAID 10.
FortiAnalyzer units that contain software RAID are the FortiAnalyzer-400,
FortiAnalyzer-800/800B units. Hardware RAID is found on higher-end models,
such as FortiAnalyzer-2000/2000A, FortiAnalyzer-4000/4000A.
You can find out information about RAID from the get system status
command or diag raid info in the CLI.
!
Caution: Fortinet recommends using RAID 10 if your FortiAnalyzer unit uses software
RAID and redundancy is required. Using RAID 5 causes system performance issues.
Note: RAID functionality is only available on the FortiAnalyzer-400,
FortiAnalyzer-800/800B, FortiAnalyzer-2000/2000A and FortiAnalyzer-4000/4000A. These
units include multiple hard disks for RAID support.
Array capacity is limited to 8 TB. This limit is included only in the following previous
releases:
• FortiAnalyzer 3.0 MR6 patch release 1
• FortiAnalyzer 3.0 MR5 patch release 5
