Netgear RD5D (ReadyDATA Disk Packs) – ReadyDATA Disk Packs (SATA/NL-SAS/SAS/SSD) 软件指南

Click the Create button. 

The ReadyDATA confirms the creation of a share with the message “Data Set 
successfully created.” The new share is added to the Shares screen. Basic information is 
displayed to the right of the share.

Protection

Select the Continuous Protection check box to enable data protection through 
snapshots and configure the frequency at which snapshots are made. By default, the 
Continuous Protection check box is selected. For more information about snapshots, 
see 

177.

Smart 
Snapshot 
Management

Select the Smart Snapshot Management check box to enable automatic 
snapshot pruning. When enabled, the ReadyDATA deletes snapshots as 
necessary so that hourly snapshots are kept for 48 hours, daily snapshots 
are kept for four weeks, weekly snapshots are kept for eight weeks, and 
monthly snapshots are kept indefinitely. 

Interval

The interval specifies how often a snapshot is made. Make a selection 
from the drop-down list:

Hourly. A snapshot is taken every hour on the hour.

Daily. A snapshot is taken every day at midnight. This is the default 
setting.

Weekly. A snapshot is taken every week on Friday at midnight.

Share (NAS)

Click the Share (NAS) button, which is the default setting. (Clicking the LUN (SAN) 
button creates a LUN; see 

Type

Select the check boxes for the file-sharing protocols that you want to 
enable on the share:

76.

If the New Share pop-up screen displays a red triangle with an 

exclamation mark for a protocol (for example, 

), the protocol is 

globally disabled. For information about how to enable the protocol 
globally, see 

Size

If you do not set a size, the share has unlimited access to the storage space on the 
volume, and the utilization rate of the share is greatly improved (over predefining the 
size) because storage space is assigned only as data is written to the share. By default, 
when you create a share, no quota or reserve is set.

Quota

Select the Size check box and 
enter the size of the storage space 
that is available to the share.

Select the unit of measurement from 
the drop-down list:

MB 

GB, the default unit of 
measurement.

TB 

Reserve

Select the Reserve check box to 
reserve guaranteed storage space 
for the share on the volume.
