Windows 2008r2 file Server storage capacity expansion

Recently, the company's file server storage space frequently alarm, such an important server in case of space is full of server can not access or downtime, then we do it will lose the job, but because the file server is the daily need to use, we also not good whole stop what (^_^ mainly I am not willing to work overtime), Then you have to find a way.

Pondering for a while, with such a way of thinking should be possible, because the company's file server is 2008r2, installed the file service role to assume the function of the file server, this function is very good, the content of the file server can be automatically copied between member servers, through this function to achieve server redundancy, Then of course you can use this function to switch the file server, and then to the server to do the upgrade operation.

First of all, I dragged a new PC in the warehouse out, configuration also general, Pentium cpu,6g memory, add 2 2T of solid-state mixed disk, this computer I intend to install as a file server backup, to avoid the occurrence of single point of failure.

Put the PC into a 2008r2 system, then install the role of the file service, as shown in the Installation role service:

The next step is to set the namespace, because we already have the file server set up the namespace, which is not needed here, we choose the second option

Storage monitoring, just tick the disk that we'll be using as a file, I've chosen D and E here, and the warning threshold remains the default.

Report option Select Default, click Next directly

Go to the installation process

After the file service is installed, we need to create a shared folder on the disk for the settings of the namespace, set share permissions, everyone gives read-only and change permissions, and the native administrator gives full control

Considering the security of the file, we reset the folder's NTFS permissions, remove the folder's inherited permissions first, and then add the account that we want to assign permissions to

Add the account you want to assign permissions to

OK, this is the end of shared folder settings, then we open the Server Manager, switch to the file Services-dfs Management-namespace, right-click on the namespace, select "Add Namespaces to display"

In the pop-up window, select our original namespace and click OK

After adding the namespace, there will be the namespace name we just added below the namespace, right click on the name and select "Add Namespace Server"

Add our newly installed file service and click OK

After the namespace server is added, we find the name of the shared folder that was configured when the space was set in the subdirectory of the namespace path, right click on it, select "Add Folder Target", this folder target location points to the shared folder we created earlier

In the replication topology, the default single bidirectional replication, select our original file server name, click OK

This is the end of the new file server configuration, but the file server has a good function, based on the enumeration of access rights, what does this mean, in fact, simply say that there is permission to see this folder, do not have permission to see this folder, which will avoid some human error operation, Causes the file to be lost or corrupted, enabling enumeration functions such as

If the company does not have backup software or backup device, how to retrieve the file? In fact, this is very simple, do not spend a penny, to your file storage disk to enable the shadow copy function on the line, shadow copy by default is able to create 2 shadow copies per day, as for the weekly plan to create it according to their own needs to set the good

Go to the Configuration window, select the disk where you want to enable shadow copies, click Enable

Finally, we want to remove the original file server from the namespace, then add the original file server after the storage is re-built, and follow the above steps, you can implement non-disruptive service of the file server expansion. (The file copy of the new file server takes a while, so wait until the new file server is copied and then reconfigure the original file server.) )
