| ==Storage Grid Setup==
| |
| [[File:Getting Started-StorageGridSetup.jpg|356px|thumb|Storage Grid setup tools.]]
| |
| | |
| This procedure will assist with setting up a Storage Grid. Storage Grid technology makes it easy to manage large numbers of Storage Systems and enables access to features like remote-replication and scale-out storage.

| | |
| | |
| [[File:Getting Started - Block Storage.jpg|356px|thumb|Setup for Block Storage Provisioning (iSCSI/FC)]]
| |
| | |
| This procedure will assist with setting up Storage Pools and Volumes.
| |
| | |
| -Step one guides one to Create a Storage Pool. Pools must be created before Volumes.<br>
| |
| -Step two guides one to Create a Volume.<br>
| |
| -Step three guides one to Add a Host Initiator.<br>

| |
| | |
| | |
| [[File:Getting Started - File Storage.jpg|356px|thumb|Setup File Storage Provisioning (NFS/CIFS).]]
| |
| | |
| File storage folders are referred to as Network Shares. Network Shares may be accessed via both the NFS and the SMB protocols.

| ==Object Storage Setup (S3/SWIFT)==
| |
| | |
| | |
| [[File:Getting Started - Object Storage.jpg|356px|thumb|Setup Object Storage Setup (S3/SWIFT).]] | |
| | |
| Scale-out Object and Block storage configurations enable S3/SWIFT object storage access as well as iSCSI storage access to scale-out Storage Volumes. Scale-out storage uses replicas and/or erasure-coding technologies to ensure fault-tolerance and high-availability. Ceph technology is used within the platform so a Ceph Cluster must first be created to enable this functionality.

| | |
| -Step one guides one to Create an Object Storage Cluster.<br>
| |
| -Step two guides one to Create Object Storge Devices, OSD's.<br>
| |
| -Step three guides one to Create an S3/SWIFT Object Storage Zone, prior to provisioning of S3 storage buckets.<br>
| |
| -Step four guides one to Select a Ceph Cluster for the S3/SWIFT Gateway.<br>
| |
| -Step five guides one to the Creation of User Access Entries.<br>
| |
| -Step six guides one to Create buckets for writing object storage via the S3/SWIFT protocols<br>
| |
| | |
| ==Ceph File System Setup==
| |
| | |
| [[File:Getting Started - Ceph File System.jpg|356px|thumb|Setup Ceph Filesystem (CephFS).]]
| |
| | |
| The Ceph Filesystem, CephFS, is a POSIX-compliant filesystem that uses a Ceph Storage Cluster to store its data. Ceph File Systems are highly available using Metadata Servers, MDS. Once you have a healthy Ceph Storage Cluster with at least one Ceph Metadata Server, you can create a Ceph Filesystem.

| -Step one guides one to Create an Object Storage Cluster.<br>
| |
| -Step two guides one to Add a Metadata Server, MDS.<br>
| |
| -Step three guides one to Assign Devices to the cluster before a scale-out NAS-based storage pool may be provisioned.<br>
| |
| -Step four guides one to Create a Ceph Pool Profile (optional).<br>
| |
| -Step five guides one to Create a File System.<br>
| |
| -Step six guides one to Create a Share for user access via NFS or SMB.<br>
| |
| | |
| ==Ceph Block Storage Setup==
| |
| [[File:Getting Started - Ceph Block Storage.jpg|356px|thumb|Setup Ceph Block Storage.]]
| |
| | |
| QuantaStor Scale-out Block is intended to provide a highly salable Storage Area Network solution where the QuantaStor system is used to provision SAN block storage to iSCSI or Fiber-Channel clients sourced from a Ceph storage backend.
