Expand a Volume or Disk Group by Replacing Hard Disks
For SHR, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 5+Spare, or RAID 6, the storage capacity of volumes and Disk Groups can be
expanded by replacing smaller hard disks with larger ones. When expanding storage capacity with this method,
please be careful to replace each hard disk one-by-one. After replacing one hard disk, the volume or Disk Group
must be repaired before the next hard disk is replaced. For more detailed instructions, please see DSM Help.
Please see the following table to see which hard disk should be replaced first.
RAID Type

Minimum Hard Disk Size

RAID 5 and RAID 6

When replacing hard disks of RAID 5 or RAID 6 volumes or
Disk Groups, the smallest hard disk should always be
replaced first. The storage capacity of RAID 5 volumes is
(number of hard disks – 1) x (smallest hard disk size), and
RAID 6 is (number of hard disks – 2) x (smallest hard disk
size). Therefore, the smallest hard disk should always be
replaced first in order to maximize hard disk usage.
If the capacity of all member hard disks is equal, then you
should replace at least two hard disks. Otherwise, the
capacity of your volume will not expand.

SHR (Synology Hybrid RAID)

24

Chapter 4: Manage Storage Space

If the capacity of member hard disks is different, then the
new, replacement hard disks should be equal to or larger
than the largest existing hard disk. In addition, you should
replace smaller member hard disks first in order to optimize
capacity usage.

Based on DSM 4.2

Expand a Volume or Disk Group by Adding Disks
For SHR, JBOD, RAID 5, RAID 5+Spare, and RAID 6, the storage capacity of volumes and Disk Groups can be
expanded by adding more hard disks if there are empty hard drive bays in your DiskStation. For more detailed
instructions, please see DSM Help.
Please see the following table regarding the minimum size of new hard disks.
RAID Type

Minimum Hard Disk Size

SHR

The capacity of the hard disk you wish to add must be equal
to or larger than the largest hard disk in the volume or Disk
Group. For example, if your volume is composed of three
hard disks – 2 TB, 1.5 TB, and 1 TB respectively – then the
capacity of the new hard disk must be at least 2 TB.

RAID 5, RAID 5+Spare, or RAID 6

The capacity of the hard disk you wish to add must be equal
to or larger than the smallest hard disk in the volume or Disk
Group. For example, if your volume is composed of three
hard disks – 2 TB, 1.5 TB, and 1 TB respectively – then the
capacity of the new hard disk must be at least 1 TB.

Data Scrubbing
Data scrubbing is a data maintenance function that inspects volumes or Disk Groups and repairs any detected
data inconsistencies. This function can be used with volumes or Disk Groups that implement SHR (comprised of
three or more disks), RAID 5, or RAID 6.
We recommend regularly performing data scrubbing in order to maintain data consistency and avoid losing any
critical data in the event of disk failure. For detailed instructions, please see DSM Help.

iSCSI Targets and LUNs
iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface) is a type of storage area networking (SAN) service that
provides access to consolidated, block level data storage. The main use of iSCSI is to facilitate data transfers

Provide Nonstop Service with Synology
High Availability

17

High Availability refers to a server layout solution designed to reduce interruptions of services caused by server
malfunctions. With Synology High Availability, two servers form a “high-availability cluster,” in which one assumes
the role of the active server while the other acts as the stand-by server. If the server malfunctions, the stand-by
server takes over all services, thus minimizing server downtime.
This chapter provides a brief overview of Synology High Availability’s features. For more detailed instructions,
please see DSM Help.

Understand Synology High Availability
Implementation of Synology High Availability requires two Synology servers to create a high-availability cluster.
One server acts as "active server" and the other acts as "passive server." Once the high-availability cluster is
created, data is continuously replicated from the active server to the passive server. All files on the active server
will exist in duplicate on the passive server.

Active Server
The active server manages the provision of all services. If errors occur on the active server, you or the system
can initiate a switchover to the passive server. In this case, the provision of services is transferred to the passive
server, at which point the active server becomes the passive server.

Passive Server
Under normal conditions, the passive server remains in standby mode. Data on the active server is continuously
replicated to the passive server. In the event the active server cannot provide services, you or the system can
initiate a switchover to the passive server.

85

Synology DiskStation User's Guide
Based on DSM 4.2

Install Synology High Availability
Synology High Availability can be installed by going to Main Menu > Package Center.

System Requirements
Implementation of Synology High Availability requires two identical Synology servers to act as active and passive
1
servers . Before the two servers are combined into a high-availability cluster, the Synology High Availability
Wizard will check for the following hardware and software limitations to ensure that a high-availability cluster can
be created.

System Requires
 Synology Server: Both the active and passives servers must be identical models and support Synology High
Availability.
 DSM Version: The same version of DSM must be installed on both the active and passive servers.
 Package Version: The same version of Synology High Availability must be installed on both Synology servers.

Volume and Hard Disk
Please note the following guidelines regarding Disk Group, volume, and hard disk management.
 Storage Volume: In order to accommodate data replication, the storage capacity of the passive server must
be equal to or larger than the capacity of the active server. It is strongly advised that the storage capacity of
both servers be completely identical to reduce the chances of inconsistencies.
 Number of Disks: Both the active and passive servers must have the same quantity of hard disks. In addition,
hard disk numbering and position must correspond in both servers.
 SHR Format Unsupported: SHR format volumes are not supported. Please ensure that the Synology server
which will act as the active server does not contain SHR volumes.

Network Environment
Please note the following guidelines regarding network settings.
 Network Settings: Both servers of the high-availability cluster must be assigned static IP addresses. Please
ensure that your Synology servers are both configured with static rather than DHCP IP addresses. In addition,
ensure that the IP addresses of both servers are accessible and belong to the same subnet; otherwise errors
might occur when initiating a switchover to the passive server.
 Number of LAN Ports: Both servers must have the same number of LAN ports. If your Synology NAS is
equipped with additional network card interfaces, these network cards also count as additional LAN ports.
 PPPoE Unsupported: Synology High Availability does not support PPPoE. Please ensure that PPPoE is
switched off before creating a high-availability cluster.
 Link Aggregation Unsupported: Synology High Availability does not support link aggregation. Please ensure
that link aggregation is switched off before creating a high-availability cluster.
 Wi-Fi Unsupported: Synology High Availability does not support Wi-Fi. Please ensure that Wi-Fi is switched
off before creating a high-availability cluster.
 VLAN Unsupported: Synology High Availability does not support VLAN. Please ensure that VLAN is switched
off before creating a high-availability cluster.

Storage Manager Limitations
Once a high-availability cluster has been created, certain options in Storage Manager will be unavailable.
Available Options: The following options are still available when a high-availability cluster exists:
 Expand Disk Groups or volumes by adding or replacing hard disks (only for multiple volumes or iSCSI LUNs
on RAID).

--------1

86

Synology High Availability can only be installed on certain models.

Chapter 17: Provide Nonstop Service with Synology High Availability

 Create, delete, or repair volumes and iSCSI LUNs.
 Change iSCSI LUN (File-Level) size and location.
 Change iSCSI LUN target.
Unavailable Options: The following options cannot be performed when a high-availability cluster exists:
 Edit or expand volume and iSCSI LUN (Block-Level) size.
 Change RAID types.

Create a High-Availability Cluster
Once you have checked the above requirements and installed Synology High Availability, the two servers can be
combined into a high-availability cluster by going to Overview > Create HA cluster. A setup wizard will walk you
through the steps of creating the high-availability cluster.

Create a Domain Name Server with DNS
Server

18

DNS (Domain Name System) is a naming system that facilitates the exchange of data between computers over
the Internet and other networks. Its main function is to translate user-friendly domain names (e.g.
www.synology.com) into corresponding fixed, public IP addresses (e.g. 120.89.71.100). This function allows
users to easily find web pages, computers, or other devices over the Internet or local network.
Synology’s DNS Server allows your DiskStation to become a domain name server, host multiple zones, as well
as provide name and IP address resolution services.
This chapter provides a brief explanation of the features of DNS Server. For more details instructions, please see
DSM Help.

Install DNS Server
DNS Server can be installed by going to Main Menu > Package Center.

Before You Start
Please see the following notes before using DNS Server:
 Obtain a fixed, public IP address: To run DNS Server, you need to acquire a fixed IP address for your
DiskStation.
 Register a domain name: Setting up authoritative server functions requires registering your domain name
with a domain name provider. For example, if you want to use a domain called example.com, you need to
register the domain example with the domain provider of .com domain names.

88

Synology DiskStation User's Guide
Based on DSM 4.2

 Check firewall or port forwarding settings: DNS services require the use of TCP and UDP port 53. If your
DiskStation uses a firewall, this port must be opened. If the DiskStation connects to the Internet through a
router, set up port forwarding rules and open TCP and UDP port 53.
 Register your device: After you set up DNS Server, remember to register the IP address and other required
information of your DiskStation with the provider of your domain name. Otherwise, clients will be unable to
query your DiskStation over the Internet. Consult your domain name provider for more information.

DNS Server Features
Once properly installed and setup, DNS Server provides the below features. For more detailed instructions
regarding these and other features, please see DSM Help.

Zones
This page provides options to manage your domain names by creating and modifying zones. A zone refers to a
portion of the domain name space for which a domain name server is authoritative and possesses complete
information. With DNS Server, zone files can be created, stored, and managed on the DiskStation.
Zones are divided into two types: master zones and slave zones. Master zones possess information for zone files.
Slave zones synchronize zone files from master zones (an operation called zone transfer).

Resolution
You can enable resolution services to allow the DiskStation to resolve recursive queries. A recursive query
occurs when the DiskStation is not authoritative for a requested domain. In this case, the DiskStation queries
other domain name servers until the information is found, or until the query fails.
For example, if a client queries your DiskStation for the address of "synology.com," but your DiskStation is not
authoritative for this domain (i.e. you do not own synology.com), it will query other domain name servers or
forward the request to specified forwarder servers, and then relay the result back to the sender of the query.

Keys
TSIG (Transfer Signature) keys limit what hosts are allowed to synchronize zone files from the master server.
This page displays the keys currently used by DNS Server.

Views
A domain name server can present different information to different clients by implementing views. This function,
sometimes called spilt-horizon DNS, can improve security and privacy management of DNS zone records. For
example, you have one domain name, but wish to provide different responses to queries from external and
internal sources. In such cases, you can create different views with separate resource records.

Note: For more information about DSM mobile, tap Help on the home page.

Use iOS, Android, and Windows Apps
The Synology mobile apps are now available on Apple's App Store, Android Market, and Windows Marketplace,
allowing you to communicate with Synology DiskStation wherever Wi-Fi access is available. You can manage
your DiskStation files, music, photos, videos, even the surveillance videos, sync folders between your mobile
devices and DiskStation, download files, and watch videos on the go.

DS audio
DS audio allows you to access Audio Station with an iOS/Android device or Windows Phone and listen to your
favorite music on the go. Besides, the remote controller feature allows you to control Audio Station's music
playback when there is an audio output device connected to the USB port of your DiskStation, such as a USB
speaker, or an external speakers or home stereo equipment connected to the audio dock of Synology Remote
(sold separately).

DS cam
DS cam allows users who own an iOS/Android device to live view their IP cameras, take snapshots, and view
recorded events from your Surveillance Station whenever a network connection is available.

DS cloud
DS cloud is the mobile counterpart to Synology's Cloud Station and allows you to easily sync folders between an
iOS/Android device and DiskStation.

DS download
DS download allows you to access Download Station and download files directly with an iOS/Android device. You
can create download tasks by adding a URL, via a built-in mini browser of the application, or the integrated Safari
browser for user convenience. Managing basic settings such as transfer speed limits or activating the advanced
schedule is also possible.

DS file
DS file allows you to access and manage DiskStation files with an iOS/Android device or Windows Phone.

DS finder
DS finder allows you to monitor or email the status of your DiskStation, and request it to perform wake on LAN
(WOL), restart, shut down, or play beep sounds (to help you quickly find the its location) with an iOS/Android
device or Windows Phone.

DS photo+
DS photo+ allows you to access Photo Station with an iOS/Android device or Windows Phone and share your
precious moments on the go. Download and save photos from Photo Station to your mobile device so you can
enjoy the flashbacks anytime anywhere. You can also use DS photo+ to upload snapshots or videos from your
camera phone straight to Photo Station. Besides, you and your friends can interact by leaving comments on any
photos, adding more fun to your photo sharing experiences.

DS video
DS video allows you to access Video Station and watch videos both at home and on the move with an
iOS/Android device or Windows Phone. You can browse and organize your collections of videos, record digital
TV programs available at the place you are located with a USB DTV dongle (sold separately) plugged into your
DiskStation, and manage your recording tasks and schedules.
Note: For more information about those mobile Apps, refer to the Help files that come with the Apps.

Use Other Mobile Devices
If you have a mobile device running on Windows Mobile 6.0 (with Internet Explorer Mobile or Opera 9.0 or later),
Symbian OS 9.1 (with S60 3rd Edition or later), or iPhone OS 2.3.1 or later, you can use the device to log in to
Synology DiskStation to view photos with Mobile Photo Station and read supported file formats with Mobile File
Station around the world where Internet access is available.

provided below. The arbitration will be conducted before a
single arbitrator, and will be limited solely to the dispute
between Customer and Synology. The arbitration, or any
portion of it, will not be consolidated with any other
arbitration and will not be conducted on a class-wide or class
action basis. The arbitration shall be held in King County,
Washington, U.S.A. by submission of documents, by
telephone, online or in person as determined by the

arbitrator at the request of the parties. The prevailing party in
any arbitration or legal action occurring within the United
States or otherwise shall receive all costs and reasonable
attorneys’ fees, including any arbitration fee paid by the
prevailing party. Any decision rendered in such arbitration
proceedings will be final and binding on the parties, and
judgment may be entered thereon in any court of competent
jurisdiction. Customer understands that, in the absence of
this provision, Customer would have had a right to litigate
any such dispute, controversy or claim in a court, including
the right to litigate claims on a class-wide or class-action
basis, and Customer expressly and knowingly waives those
rights and agrees to resolve any disputes through binding
arbitration in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 4.5. For Customers not residing within the United
States, any dispute, controversy or claim described in this
section shall be finally resolved by arbitration conducted by
three neutral arbitrators in accordance with the procedures
of the R.O.C. Arbitration Law and related enforcement rules.
The arbitration shall take place in Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C.,
and the arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in
English or, if both parties so agree, in Mandarin Chinese.
The arbitration award shall be final and binding on the
parties and may be enforced in any court having jurisdiction.
Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to prohibit or restrict
Synology from seeking injunctive relief or seeking such other

rights and remedies as it may have at law or equity for any
actual or threatened breach of any provision of this Warranty
relating to Synology's intellectual property rights.
4.6
Attorneys' Fees. In any arbitration, mediation, or
other legal action or proceeding to enforce rights or
remedies under this Warranty, the prevailing party will be
entitled to recover, in addition to any other relief to which it
may be entitled, costs and reasonable attorneys' fees.
4.7
Export Restrictions. You acknowledge that the
Product may be subject to U.S. export restrictions. You will
comply with all applicable laws and regulations that apply to
the Product, including without limitation the U.S. Export
Administration Regulations.
4.8
Severability. If any provision of this Warranty is held
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Warranty will remain in
full force and effect.
4.9
Entire Agreement. This Warranty constitutes the entire
agreement, and supersedes any and all prior agreements,
between Synology and Customer related to the subject matter
hereof. No amendment, modification or waiver of any of the
provisions of this Warranty will be valid unless set forth in a
written instrument signed by the party to be bound thereby.
