•

When the NSS powers up, an SNMP trap sends a notification.

•

When the Administrator first logs into the configuration pages following the 
shutdown, a message appears.

•

An email is sent to the defined email address if the Administrator is set up to 
receive an email for power loss. .

Following an unclean shutdown of the NSS:

Do one of the following:

•

Review/Edit the System Settings Manually: Go through each setting, 
including the time setting to make sure that nothing has been negatively 
altered. If you make changes to the settings, we highly recommend that you 
take a USB backup.

•

Back up the System Settings from a USB Backup: If you have a valid 
backup on a USB flash device, it might be easier to restore the system 
settings from the backup (versus manually going through and checking 
each system setting).

If you attempt either of the above unsuccessfully, restore the configuration 
settings back to the factory defaults, and then either restore the configuration 
settings from a USB flash device backup or manually edit the settings. 

The factory default administrator password is "admin".

You can substantially improve the NFS performance by increasing the size of read 
and write buffers on the client. These buffers are sized at 4 KB by default but can 
be changed at mount time. 

For example: mount -v -t nfs 192.168.1.1:/mnt/RAIDA/vol1/share1 /mnt/client -o 
nfsvers=3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768 

where: 

•

192.168.1.1 is the IP address of the NSS system

•

/mnt/RAIDA/vol1/share1 is the path to the share
