Configuring your Storage Exporting Storage to your Network 4 Exporting Storage to your Network If you have multiple NSS units in your network, you can easily export the storage to form a large, logical storage unit that can be managed from the master NSS. The first step in creating virtualized storage is to export the disk(s) or array to the network. Note that when you export storage, you need to consider how things like rebooting an NSS might impact users of the virtualized storage. While the logical storage is controlled from the master NSS, the physical device (including the disk drives) is still controlled through the slave's configuration interface and is affected by the conditions of the physical unit. CAUTION: After you configure a virtual RAID, ! you cannot migrate the disks used for that RAID to another NSS. You also cannot export storage from a device that uses imported storage. To export storage to the network: STEP 1 Log into the configuration interface for the device from which you are exporting storage. STEP 2 From the Manager Menu, click Storage Virtualization. The Storage Virtualization page appears. Cisco Small Business NSS2000 Series Administration Guide 50
