Planning Service Data (System User)
Obtain the data required for configuration or plan the data based on site requirements.
Basic Storage Services
Table 2-13 describes the data to be obtained before storage space configuration.
Operation |
Item |
Default/Actual Value |
---|---|---|
Logging in to DeviceManager |
IP addresses of the management network ports IP address to be entered in the browser address box for logging in to DeviceManager of the storage system |
For a 2 U controller enclosure, the default IP addresses of the management network ports on controllers A and B are respectively 192.168.128.101 and 192.168.128.102, and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. For a 3 U or 6 U controller enclosure, the default IP addresses of the management network ports on management modules 0 and 1 are respectively 192.168.128.101 and 192.168.128.102, and the default subnet mask is 255.255.0.0. |
User name and password User name and password for logging in to DeviceManager of the storage system |
Super administrator user name: admin For details about the default password, see the OceanStor V500R007 Account List. |

Creating a disk domain |
Disk domain name Name of the disk domain to be created |
__________________ |
Disk typea Disk types in the disk domain, which determine the storage tiers that can be created. SSDs correspond to the high performance tier, SAS disks correspond to the performance tier, and NL-SAS disks correspond to the capacity tier. |
High performance Tier (SSD)__________________ Performance Tier (SAS)__________________ Capacity Tier (NL-SAS)__________________ |
|
Creating a storage pool |
Storage pool name Name of the storage pool to be created |
__________________ |
Storage tiera The storage pool can have the high performance tier, performance tier, and capacity tier. |
High performance Tier (SSD)__________________ Performance Tier (SAS)__________________ Capacity Tier (NL-SAS)__________________ |
|
RAID policya Each tier is configured with a specific RAID policy. The default RAID policy on DeviceManager is recommended. For example, the default RAID policy of the performance tier on DeviceManager is RAID5 4D+1P, where D indicates the data block and P indicates the parity block. |
High performance Tier__________________ Performance Tier__________________ Capacity Tier__________________ |
|
Capacitya Capacity of each storage tier. The value must be an integer on DeviceManager. |
High performance Tier__________________ Performance Tier__________________ Capacity Tier__________________ |
|
Creating a file system |
File system name If LUNs are batch created, the storage system automatically names each file system by adding four digits after your specified file system name. |
__________________ |
Thin enabled or not After the function is enabled, the storage system does not allocate the configured capacity to the file system at a time. Within configured capacity, the storage system allocates the storage resource to the file system on demand, based on the actual capacity used by the host. |
Yes____ No____ |
|
Capacity Storage space size of a file system to be created |
__________________ |
|
Application Scenario The file system block size determined by the application scenario |

|
Creating a logical port |
Name of a logical port Name of a newly created logical port |
__________________ |
IP address type Type of a logical port's IP address |
__________________ |
|
IPv4 address or IPv6 address IP address of a logical port set for file system service operation NOTE:
Ensure that the IP address can be pinged on a host. |
__________________ |
|
Subnet mask or prefix Subnet mask of a logical port's IPv4 address |
__________________ |
|
IPv4 gateway or IPv6 gateway IP address gateway of a logical port NOTE:
A gateway must be configured if the IP address and host IP address do not reside on the same network segment. |
__________________ |
|
Primary port Port to which the logical port belongs, including the Ethernet port, bond port, and VLAN. |
__________________ |
|
a: For OceanStor 5000F, 6000F, and 18000F series storage systems, you can only create a high-performance tier and set its RAID policy and capacity. |
NFS
Before configuring an NFS share in a storage system, plan and collect required data to assist in the follow-up service configuration.
You need to prepare the following data:
- Logical IP address
Logical IP address used by a storage system to provide shared space for a client
- File system
File system used to create an NFS share
- LDAP domain or NIS domain information
- Permission
The permissions include read-only and read-write.
- Read-only: Clients have the read-only permission for NFS shares.
- Read-write: Clients have the read-write permission for NFS shares.
You can contact your network administrator to obtain desired data.
CIFS
Before configuring a CIFS share, obtain information about the storage system's logical IP address, file system for which a CIFS share is configured, CIFS share name, user permissions, local authentication users in non-domain environments, and AD domain to assist in the follow-up configuration.
Table 2-14 describes preparations required for configuring a CIFS share.
