Server Instance Creation and Storage Selection
Once you have successfully logged in, you will be presented with the option to create your server instance and select the storage method to be used, either ZFS or XFS.Select Configure Server to proceed.
Storage Architecture Selection (ZFS vs XFS)
At this stage, you will be presented with the storage configuration screen, where you can choose how the server will be deployed. You have two options at this point which is configuring the system to use ZFS storage or standard storage based on XFS and R...
Server Configuration Complete
As shown, the server has now been successfully configured using the XFS-based storage option and is up and running.Select Close to continue.
System Ready for Use
The system will now take you to the System Info screen. This provides a high-level overview of the current system state, including hardware utilisation, storage capacity, configured services, and network activity. From this screen, you can quickly confir...
Server Name and Software Update
From the sidebar under System Settings, select the System icon to open the configuration page. Here, you can update the server name and location if required. Once any changes have been made, select Save to apply them. The system will update these settings ...
Storage Pool Creation and Configuration
From the system menu on the left, select the Storage Management icon to open the storage management screen. This is where the underlying storage pool is created and where access methods are configured, allowing some or all of the storage to be presented to...
Network Access Configuration
This section covers how storage is presented to clients and how access is configured via the GUI. This includes setting up file-based access such as SMB, along with block-based access using iSCSI and NVMe over TCP, with portal IPs defining the network paths us...
SMB Access Setup
This section covers configuring SMB to present file-based storage to clients over the network. This includes creating and managing shares, allowing storage to be accessed by users and applications. From the system menu, select Shares & Targets, then click...
iSCSI Access Setup
This section covers configuring iSCSI to present block-based storage to clients. This includes creating targets and making storage available to systems that require direct block-level access. From the system menu, select Shares & Targets and click the Go to...
NVMe-oF Access Setup
This section covers configuring NVMe over TCP to present block-based storage to clients. This includes creating targets and making storage available to systems that require high-performance, low-latency block access. The system also supports NVMe over Fabrics...
Snapshot Overview
Snapshots provide a point-in-time copy of data that can be used for recovery, rollback, or testing. Rather than taking full copies, they only record what has changed since the point they were created, making them efficient in both time and storage. In practic...
Manual Snapshot Creation
From the main menu, select Snapshots to open the Snapshot Management screen. From the Snapshot Management screen, select Reserved Space (XFS) to open the Snapshot Space Reservation wizard. This step is not required for BTRFS, as it behaves in the s...
Snapshot Scheduling
While creating snapshots manually is useful, it is generally more efficient to schedule them. Scheduling provides greater control and allows snapshot frequency to be aligned with business processes or resilience requirements, including protection against ...
SDN Overview
euroNAS SDN is the software-defined networking layer within eEVOS. It provides cluster-aware virtual switching and VM network policy management for virtual machines running in an eEVOS environment. Its purpose is to keep virtual networking consistent across c...
Virtual Switches
A virtual switch provides the network attachment point for virtual machines. In eEVOS, virtual switches are managed through euroNAS SDN and are designed to support clustered operation. Purpose of a virtual switch Virtual machines connect their network interf...
Uplinks and Connectivity
Uplinks connect a virtual switch to the physical network. euroNAS SDN manages uplink assignment so that connectivity remains structured and predictable across the cluster. Single uplink configuration A node can attach one physical uplink to a virtual switch....
VM Network Profiles
VM network profiles provide reusable interface settings for virtual machines connected through euroNAS SDN. They help standardise network configuration across multiple workloads. Purpose of profiles Profiles reduce repetitive manual configuration by allowi...
Drift Detection and Repair
euroNAS SDN continuously compares the intended network configuration with the active runtime state. When these differ, the condition is identified as drift. What drift means Drift occurs when the current SDN state no longer matches the expected configuration...
Migration Integration
euroNAS SDN is integrated directly into migration workflows so that network readiness can be verified before a virtual machine is moved. Purpose Migration requires the target node to provide the correct switch availability, uplink connectivity, and network...
Operational Guidance
The following operational practices help maintain consistent and reliable SDN behaviour within an eEVOS environment. Recommended workflow Inspect switch or migration health findings. Review reported drift conditions. Apply reconciliation where appropriat...
