2-6 Starting a Management Session
The HDX4 series supports snapshot and Volume Copy/Mirror functions. Note
that these functions are only available through the GAM GUI manager. If a
logical volume is created via GAM, a 30% of storage space is allocated for
using the data service functions. If you create logical volumes using RS-232
terminal, no such preserved space will be allocated. Only a small section will
be segregated for storing metatdata.

The Data Service function can use up enormous storage space. For example,
if data changes occur to your source volume frequently, snapshots images
can take up a considerable amount of space.
2.2. Starting a Management Session
Step 1. Accessing the Embedded Galaxy Web GUI is as simple as
entering “http://192.168.1.129/index.html (RAID system IP
address)” in the URL field of your browser. The IP address is
the default we have assigned to the RAID system or
controller’s 10/100BaseT Ethernet management port.
If you do not know RAID system’s Ethernet IP, use the LCD
keypad or RS-232 terminal access to find it under “View and
Edit Configuration Parameters” -> “Communication
Parameters” -> “TCP/IP”.
If your management port on an HDX3 storage system is
assigned an IPv6 address:
Under a Windows environment, open a “hosts” etc file under
“\Windows\system32\drivers\etc” using the notepad editor.
Enter the IP address of the storage system you wish to
configure, a space, and a nickname for that system.
