NAS Overview
LSMS uses NAS on E5-APP-B for network backup of the system logs, application logs, and databases.
- Hardware Modifications
The E5-APP-B NAS uses a two-drive RAID configuration to save the LSMS logs and database. The E5-APP-B NAS uses the TPD 7 OS.
- Keys Exchange
The key exchange feature provided by TPD is used to exchange keys between LSMS and NAS. This feature facilitates user access to NAS from LSMS and to LSMS from NAS without providing a user ID and password.
- Backup
Both manual and automatic backup are supported. The LSMS interface is used to initiate the manual backup. The automatic backup is scheduled at 23:55 and cannot be rescheduled. A maximum of 4 backups are retained on NAS.
- Class Type for Storage Data
The class type of data must be known before storing the data. The class type can be defined specific to the server being backed up, or it can be files/data to be backed up on different servers based on the state of the system. For example, 'database' can be used to back up the database regardless of which server is performing the back up. The class types available are:
- logs
- DB
- lsmspri
- lsmssec
- logs_lsmspri
- logs_lsmssec
- Restore
You have the option to restore the backups stored on NAS to LSMS. The restore operation is performed on the LSMS server.
- Alarms
The NAS sends SNMP traps to LSMS, which in turn raises an alarm on LSMS. Multiple alarms can be raised simultaneously, which are triggered upon failure of a service. The NAS monitors two services:
- Free space
The free space service monitors the available space on a mounted device (/Volumes), and sends an alert when the free space is less than 5%.
- RAID
The RAID service monitors RAID set degradation and rebuilds.
An alarm is cleared when a service makes the state transition from failure to success, if a corresponding alarm was previously sent.
- Free space
- Login
After configuring NAS with LSMS, you can log into it by using the ssh backupserver command or the minicom nas command from the LSMS command line interface.
