    9. After the final confirmation, click the [Create server] button.

    Set server access environment

    Set the public IP and firewall (ACG) to access the created server, and check the name and password of the administrator, which are needed to access the server.

    Set public IP

    The following describes how to set up a public IP to access the created server.

    1. From the NAVER Cloud Platform console, click the Services > Compute > Server menus, in that order.

    You can access the created server (Linux or Windows) after carrying out all preparations for server access.

    For more information on connecting the Linux server, refer to the Linux Server Connection Guide, and refer to Widows Server Connection Guide for more information on connecting the Widows server.

    Create NAS volume

    To use NAS, a NAS volume must be created first to save the data shared among servers. The following describes how to create an NAS volume from the NAVER Cloud Platform console.

    1. Click the Services> Storage > NAS menus in order in the NAVER Cloud Platform console.
    2. Click the Volume menu.
    3. Click the [Create NAS volume] button.nas-start-vpc_add_ko
    4. When the NAS volume creation page appears, proceed with the following steps, in that order.

    1. Create volume

    1. Select the zone where the NAS volume will be created.

    2. Enter the NAS volume name and volume capacity.

      • You can enter 3 to 20 characters as the volume name using alphabets, numbers, or a combination of alphabets and numbers.
      • A customer identification number starting with 'n' is automatically generated before the entered volume name to identify customers.
      • The default volume capacity ranges from 500 GB to 10,000 GB. Additions can be made in units of 100 GB.
    3. Select a protocol to apply to the NAS volume.

      • When NFS is selected, it can be mounted on Linux servers such as CentOS and Ubuntu.
      • When CIFS is selected, it can be mounted on Windows server
    4. Select the volume encryption application status.

      • Volume encryption is applied to each volume and can only be set when the volume is first created.
    Note

    The volume encryption feature of the NAS can encrypt all data that is saved using software-based encryption technology at the volume level.

    • Unique encryption key: internally managed by the storage system (AES-256 algorithm is applied to each volume)
    • Encryption module (CryptoMod): compliant with the FIPS-140-2 level 1
    1. Select the volume termination protection status.

    2. Click the [Next] button.

    2. Set the access control

    The setting page is displayed differently depending on the protocol selected while creating the volume. Complete settings according to the selected protocol and click [Next].

    • When the NFS protocol is selected
    • When the CIFS protocol is selected

    When the NFS protocol is selected

    The NFS access control setting page is displayed. Select the server to allow access from the list of all servers and click the i-nas_right / i-nas_left button to add or delete.

    • ACL setting: Servers added to Read / Write have the read and write access permissions for the NAS volume.
    • ACL setting: Servers added to Read Only have the read access permissions for the NAS volume.

    When the CIFS protocol is selected

    The CIFS authentication information setting page is displayed. Enter the ID and password.

    • ACL setting: Servers added to Read / Write have the read and write access permissions for the NAS volume.
    • ACL setting: Servers added to Read Only have the read access permissions for the NAS volume.
    Note
    • Setting authentication information is required only when the CIFS volume is first generated (once for each account). When creating the CIFS volume, check the set authentication server and click the [Next] button.
    • For more information on how to manage the CIFS authentication information, see Change CIFS authentication information.

    3. Final confirmation

    1. Check the settings and click the [Create volume] button.
    2. View the mount information in the NAS volume creating pop-up window and click the [OK] button.
      • The NAS volume can be mounted on the server using the mount information displayed in the pop-up window.
