| + | ==== AhsayUBS Firmware ==== | ||
| + | AhsayUBS Firmware is based on a customized version of FreeNAS firmware with AhsayCBS bundled and is specifically optimized to run AhsayCBS. Apart from AhsayCBS, it also contains some basic features that system administrator require, e.g. SSH and system monitoring tools. | ||

| + | === AhsayUBS Storage Concepts === | ||
| + | The AhsayUBS installer will automatically detect all available local hard disk(s) during the installation progress. The selected hard disk(s) will be partitioned to form “System Storage”. Several RAID devices will be created on the “System Storage”: | ||
| + | 1. GPT Boot (GPBT) | ||
| + | 2. Operating System Framework (OSFW) | ||
| + | 3. Firmware Module Framework (FMFW) | ||
| + | 4. Logical Storage Framework (LSFW) | ||
| + | |||
| + | The GPBT, OSFW and FMFW volume are configured as RAID1 mirror in UFS file system to form the core system. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The LSFW software RAID device: | ||
| + | * Supports JBOD, RAID0, RAID1 and RAID5 in UFS format for old version of AhsayUBS. | ||
| + | * Supports RAID0, RAID1 and RAIDZ in ZFS format for the new version of AhsayUBS (The raid type depends on the number of hard disks installed and selected during AhsayUBS installation, for RAID0 the minimum number of disks is required is 1 [data loss for any one failed drive], for RAID1 and RAIDZ the minimum number of disks required is 2 [data loss if more than one failed drive]). | ||
| + | |||
| + | These volumes are named “System Storage”. The OSFW, FMFW devices will be created on the Unix File System (UFS). The firmware configuration files will be stored on OSFW and the AhsayCBS configuration files and backup data will be stored on LSFW. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <WRAP tip> | ||
| + | **HARDWARE RAID?** For systems employing hardware RAID, you are limited to one hardware RAID presentable to the server at time of AhsyUBS installation (you may add additional hardware RAID volumes, after AhsayUBS new installation is completed.). If you have more than one hardware RAID volumes, then you will be prevented from installation. For such systems, you will not be presented with choice of RAID settings at time of AhsayUBS installation (you only present one volume). | ||
