This dialog allows you to adjust various settings in your storage system.  
The '''Storage System Modify''' dialog holds a Storage System's identity and its network configuration, across six tabs: '''General Settings''', '''DNS Servers''', '''NTP Servers''', '''Network Settings''', '''Firewall''' and '''Proxy Settings'''.


=== System Name ===
{{Navigation|Storage Management → Storage Systems → ''select a Storage System'' → Modify ''(toolbar)''}}
The name for the storage system is also the network 'hostname' and cannot contain any special characters except the hyphen '-'.


=== DNS Configuration ===
Every tab and field is documented in the Administrator Guide:
DNS server settings are configured automatically if you have DNS setup but most appliances are configured with static IP addresses.  As such you'll need to add DNS servers to your configuration such as your local DNS server or a public DNS server like Google's at 8.8.8.8.


==== DNS Domain Suffix & Search Suffix ====
* '''[[Storage System#Storage System Modify|Storage System Modify]]'''
This is the DNS domain which your QuantaStor appliance is a member of on your network.


=== ARP Filtering ===
Related:
ARP Filtering is enabled automatically when you configure network bonding. For more information on ARP filtering please see this informative [http://blog.steve-miller.org/2010/03/tweaking-arp-behavior-in-linux.html blog article].


=== Network Bonding Policy ===
* [[Storage System Optimization]] -- cache and Storage Pool I/O tunables (right-click a Storage System)
QuantaStor supports four modes of network bonding. The allowed modes are 'Round Robin', Link Aggregation Control protocol or 'LACP', Adaptive Transmit Load Balancing, and Adaptive Load Balancing.
* [[Security Configuration#Firewall Configuration|Firewall Configuration]] -- the Firewall tab in detail, and the per-port equivalent
<br>
<br>
LACP has the added benefit that it can bond ports which are connected to separate switches whereas Round Robin mode cannot.  LACP also requires configuration settings on your switch for proper configuration and it is recommended that you adjust the flow control settings on your switch to see what produces ideal performance for your hardware and application workloads.  For more information on LACP configuration for your hardware please consult your network switch and NIC documentation.
