Cisco Small Business NSS2000 Series Administration Guide
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.
!
To export storage to the network:
Log into the configuration interface for the device from which you are exporting
storage.
From the Manager Menu, click Storage
The Storage Virtualization page appears.
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.
