SurgicalOntologist posted:Wait, the NAS needs to know its IP address? I didn't have to do that with the other servers I set up. Just told IT the MAC address and where it's plugged in and they gave me an IP. I have the same model, and it can use a reserved DHCP address, but a couple of the DSM features want it to have a static address in there. No reason you couldn't just set the static IP to the same thing as the reserved DHCP address, as long as you told the network admins to not delete the reservation. When I try to hit the interface for my 412+ on port 80, it automatically redirected me directly to port 5001, which is what it uses when you have HTTPS enabled. If you're seeing a default Apache welcome screen, you're either hitting a different server, or somehow activated the Apache server package. It will probably be easier to set up at home, where you just have the one home router serving DHCP. Worst case scenario, you can log into your router and see what it gave out for an address. The 412+ has two network ports, make sure you gave your network admin the right MAC address(es).

You replace the hardware and restore from backup. RAID/NAS is not backup. If it's important enough that downtime is unacceptable (instead of just inconvenient), you have redundancy: Either built into your rackmounted NAS or through mirrored NASes. If availability is really important, the mirrored NASes are geographically separated. Thanks for being a warning sign for me, Bob Morales. Gonna set up Amazon Glacier on my Synology tonight.

As long as the router is configured correctly (not forwarding any ports to the Synology), and the device itself isn't set up to access any internet services (and the configuration options are really obvious), then there's no way in from outside. If the hackers come to the front door, the Synology inside the house can't even hear the doorbell ringing, much less answer it.

Thumbs.db is a hidden file. As you can probably guess by the name, it's where the file system stores the thumbnails it automatically generates for files in the directory. Are there any errors in the event logs?

Selachian posted:University archive stuff Archival storage like what you're describing is really a little out of the scope of this thread. But only a little. A lot of the discussions here are closer to passion and learning projects, which the storage needs you're considering absolutely aren't. Here, the stakes are as low as the budget. You'll need to have your IT team involved from the beginning. For robust, dependable storage, they need to have a seat at the table from the start. Commercial/industrial storage at scale isn't cheap, and it doesn't look like most of the discussions above. To be clear, you absolutely could build a frankenbox with shucked 12GB WDs. But realize that doing so will bring dishonor on your whole family, on you, and on your cow. Talk with your IT team(s). Tell them you need big, slow storage. Let them come back with prices, and realize that those prices are probably some of the best available to you. You'll need to handle the conversion (probably with interns/grad students/work study victims), but leave the storage to the team built for dealing with it. It may make sense to have a smallish NAS to serve as a local "landing pad", before it gets shuffled off to the big arrays. That'd be something like a QNAP or a Synology sitting in your building, before pushing it to the server room. That's the scale this thread can help you with, but your options may be limited by available vendors and procurement requirements. You wouldn't expect the IT folks to know how handle archiving a literal ton of old manuscripts, would you? In the same way, let the IT team(s) do what they're trained (heh) and paid (heh) to do. If you absolutely know a retrieval time measured in days is acceptable, consider Amazon's Glacier or Azure Cold Storage tiers. With those, you can move all the headache of hardware straight to the guys who have the biggest scale at the expense of getting the data back quickly.

DrDork posted:While you're absolutely right, having dealt with some educational institutions in the past, asking for a $50,000+ solution plus maintenance usually takes either an internal sponsor with a bunch of pull, or someone with grant money. Absent that, it's the old standby of making things work on shoestring budgets. You're absolutely right. My (poorly-explained) point was to get some cost scope first, then sell it to the internal sponsor/grantor. Starting with the budget instead of the realistic costs will almost certainly result in a budget that's far too small, because consumer storage costs have poisoned the well for dependability at scale. The other piece of advice is "make friends with at least one person in the IT department", where you can spitball things without having full meetings and agendas and project managers. Y'know, so you can actually get things done. Wizard of the Deep fucked around with this message at 01:37 on May 27, 2020 |

D. Ebdrup posted:This is absolutely untrue, although there is an enterprise storage thread, but for a university that's absolutely outside of the budget, so this thread is a fine place to ask. The distinction I was drawing is this thread is for hacky-rear end poo poo that's fine for home stuff and building a lab out of spare commercial parts. It's not for long-term archive that's expected to be managed by teams on an on-going basis. I'm really just building up the necessary supporting documentation for seven years from now when Selachian comes back in tears because there's no way to recover lost files from some jigsaw puzzle of an archive I can say "I told you so".

Former Human posted:Seagate has had the worst reputation in the hard drive business for many, many years for a reason. Some of the larger Seagate drives have higher than 6% failure rate after 9.8 months average according to Backblaze, which is atrocious. In the realm of anecdata, I had a 150% failure rate with some 1TB Seagates when they were new. I've avoided Seagates since then.

Aware posted:That sounds totally nuts to me, is it weaker than a raspberry pi? Probably. On Synology devices, the last two numbers are generally the model year. So mobby_6kl is running a device from 2015, or 7 years ago. Synology devices generally use the lower-power CPUs to keep the cost down. So a seven year old budget CPU is what's running a bunch of torrents simultaneously will definitely use every single hertz of processing power. So mobby_6kl, if you have an older computer or laptop, or maybe even set up a spare Pi, you could use that as a landing zone before transferring it to the NAS. The CPU is fine for running a simple web host and moderate data management tasks, but that many torrents is going to be a bit much.

More than that, the population buying the biggest volume of servers doesn't value fast start-up time. The devices are designed to be powered up and functional for months or years at a time, and full power cycles are relatively rare. The resolution for long start-up times for those buyers isn't "overbuild the specific functions that will see use maybe once a month", it's "buy more servers and stagger the downtime". Do you care how fast the oil in your car can be changed?

That sounds like a bum unit. Could be bad RAM or a failing hard drive. I thought you could just pull all the HDD out and it would start fresh, but I've never actually done that.

You want a combination of iCloud (which is really loving cheap for how far the storage goes) and a TimeMachine-compatible NAS. Get an off-the shelf unit; don't hack poo poo together for a home you're not it. I know Synology says it supports it, but I haven't tried it. I don't think Apple offers it as a stand-along device any more?

Apparently they used either the wrong glue or the wrong amount of glue on a certain connection inside the unit, and it would short and catch fire. I don't think there was ever a recall on them?

If you're using RDP that means you're either on Win10 pro or hacked Home to enable RDP. There's a checkbox in Pro that should disable updates, and there used to be a registry entry for Home, too.Inept posted:IMO figure out what's breaking RDP instead But yea, this is the right answer.
