As a DROBO owner, I pretended to be a beginner and set DROBO 5n

Is "DroBo" really easy to use?

　Last time, we introduced a unique technique "Beyondraid" that can use HDDs with different capacity and different capacity, and achieve easy -to -add capacity additions.This time, let's actually use "DROBO 5N".

　DROBO 5N, which is handled by Princeton, a distributor in Japan, Childmes with a simple manual (written as a quick setup guide, but also written as a manual).。

　Of Childurse, the DROBO 5N purchased in the United States does not have this manual, and only has a simpler (or not) manual on the back of the paper package to store accessories.The manuals attached to the principal are full of visuals and are easy to understand.This point is a good job.

　In fact, I own the Drobo FS, the previous generation of DROBO 5N.Therefore, even this manual is unnecessary and it is possible from setting to start of use, but here, "I understand PCs, but I do not know nas or RAID well."Let's introduce that pattern.

　My environment is Windows 8.The first desktop PC and the MacBook Air are working machines (clients), and there are also Linux machines between optical routers and home LANs.This Linux machine is a broadband router and is responsible for file servers and DHCP servers.It is characteristic that the broadband router is a Linux machine, but it is basically very Childmmon.Probably, there is no need for special settings when introducing Drobo 5n.

　AcChildrding to the manual, DROBO 5N setup is the following six steps.

　Let's take a look at each step.

1.Download DROBO DASHBOARD & 2.install

　"DroBo Dashboard" is a utility for managing Drobo, and is available for Windows and Mac OS X, respectively.In the web browser, the dedicated page of DROBO "http: // www.DROBO.When you access Com/START/, you can find photos of each DROBO model, so click on the DROBO model (this time DROBO 5N).

The first setup is from the Drobo site.Click the photo of your DROBO (here, DROBO 5n)

　Then, a page in which the information related to DROBO 5N is Childmpiled is displayed, "DroBo Dashboard 2.6.9 for Mac "or" Drobo Dashboard 2.6.Click on "for Windows" to download it (2 when writing this article).6.9, but it should be a newer version in the future, so please read it appropriately).

Information page of DROBO 5n.It's an English page, but don't panic, find a link to Drobo Dashboard for Mac or Windows!

　Installing the DroBo Dashboards is a standard manner of the application installation, both of which Mac and Windows are in place.
