File Storage
The file storage function helps to store and manage the
file data.
Glossary
File Share
File share is the sharing of file directories through file
protocols, allowing clients to map directories to their local file systems through
mount operations, enabling file sharing and collaboration.
File Gateway
The file gateway group provides users with file storage
access protocols such as SMB and NFS.
File User
The file user is the account that uses the file storage
service, containing authorization information such as the username and password
required for file protocol access.
File Directory
The file directory provides users with management
functions for first-level subdirectories within the file system, such as creating
directories, deleting directories, searching for directories, and
more.
File System
The file system is the core resource for file storage,
responsible for storing metadata information and file data.
Block Storage
The block storage function provides high-performance
service for important business.
Block Storage Volume
A block storage volume displays the block storage device
provided in a storage pool. The data of a block storage volume is distributed in
multiple data disks of multiple servers based on specified replicas and has advanced
characteristics such as thin provisioning and scalability.
Snapshot
A snapshot is a point-in-time capture of data status in a
block storage volume and provides data backup and recovery features for the storage
system.
Objet Storage
The object storage function delivers secure and efficient
storage and management service for massive amounts of unstructured
data.
Storage Policy
A storage policy is a set of rules governing resource allocation sources for storage buckets, data storage formats, and more.
Object Gateway
The object gateway consists of high-availability object
gateways and S3 gateways. The S3 gateway provides an S3-compatible object storage
service for accessing storage clusters, while the high-availability object gateway
offers high-availability services and load balancing for object
storage.
Object User
An object user is an account for a consumer of object storage services, containing information such as permissions, key pairs, and user quotas.
Bucket
A bucket is a logical storage space allocated to an object user, where user data is stored in the form of objects.
Storage Resource
A logical unit that provides storage services externally, consisting of a storage cluster.
Storage Pool
A storage pool is a logical partition in a storage
cluster, which consists of storage severs and data disks to store
objects.
Data Disk
A data disk is a logical storage unit, with each data disk
corresponding to one data process. Multiple data disks can form a storage pool based
on replication or Erasure Coding (EC) mechanisms.
Hardware
The hardware refers to a collection of hardware devices
that form a storage cluster, such as servers, hard disks, and networking
equipment.
Server
Servers are divided into storage servers and storage
gateway servers.
Hard Disk
A hard disk is the physical unit of a data disk. All hard
disks on storage servers are scanned and displayed in the list. Healthy free disks
can be added as data disks.
Topology
Topology represents a visual depiction of how physical resources are actually deployed within a cluster. You can use this feature to configure data redundancy policies for storage pools.
Cluster
A cluster is a logical collection of
servers.
Monitoring Management
The monitoring management is a monitoring system of the
storage platform, consisting of operation log and an alarm center. The system helps
you track the platform's operational status, quickly pinpoint issues and resolve
them.
Operation Log
An operation log is a chronological record of operations
on the specified resources and their results, which is convenient for
troubleshooting and tracing. You can easily get the operation status of the whole
platform.
Alarm Center
Alarm Center monitors time-series data and events,
displays all alarm messages of the platform, and sends alarm messages to specified
endpoints in real time according to their emergencylevel, so as to facilitate timely
tracking of resource usage.
Alarm Message
An alarm message is a message sent the time when an alarm
is triggered. Alarm Center displays all alarm messages of the
platform.
Alarm
An alarm is used to monitor the status of time-series data
and events and respond to the status change.
Endpoint
An endpoint is a method that users obtain subscribed
messages. Endpoints are categorized into system endpoints and email.
System Setting
System setting consists of email server, theme setting,
and global setting.
Email Server
If you select Email as the endpoint of an alarm, you need
to add an email server. Then alarm messages are sent to the email
server.
Theme Setting
You can customize the theme and appearance of the
platform.
Global Setting
Global Setting allows you to configure settings that take
effect on the whole platform.
