In addition, the NAS server, as shown in Figure 2, can be connected to a plurality of NAS servers via the Internet, for example, a plurality of NAS servers managed by a particular company for compatibility In other words, they are managed in the same configuration.

However, in order to set the same environment for a plurality of NAS servers as described above, for example, a top administrator (Super Admin.) Or a local administrator (Local Admin.) May individually connect to each NAS server. After that, since the same environment must be set in advance, it takes a lot of time and effort, and there is a problem that an error occurs in an individual environment setting process.

The present invention, for example, to be able to update the configuration settings for a number of NAS servers connected through the Internet, such as remotely, using the configuration file created by a specific administrator, such as a top-level administrator, This is to provide a configuration method of the NAS server.

The environment setting method of the NAS server according to the present invention may include: a step 1 of determining whether or not the configuration file is valid when a configuration file created by a specific administrator is received through a network; And, if the determination result is valid, performing a reservation process on a currently running task and then rebooting based on the configuration file.

The specific manager may be a top-level manager that manages a plurality of NAS servers connected and connected through a network, and the network may be Telnet or SSH.

In addition, the validity of the configuration file is characterized in that it is determined based on the unique serial number assigned to the NAS server,

The configuration file may be a batch file created by a top-level administrator for all items that can be set by a local administrator through a NAS web user interface.

The method may further include executing the reserved task according to a newly set environment after the rebooting.

In addition, the execution of the reserved task is characterized in that it further comprises the step of displaying a corresponding guidance message, if it is inappropriate or impossible for the newly set environment,

In addition, when the firmware update file created by the specific administrator is received through the network, the method may further include determining the validity and then updating the firmware.

The environment setting method of the NAS server according to the present invention uses, for example, an environment setting file for a plurality of NAS servers connected and connected through the Internet, etc., by a specific administrator such as a top-level administrator as a batch file. By remotely setting the same update remotely, for example, a number of NAS servers managed and operated by a specific company can be easily updated and set to the same environment, and an error that may occur in an individual environment setting process can be prevented. You can prevent it.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of an environment setting method of a NAS server according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, as described above with reference to FIG. 2, the method for setting an environment of a NAS server according to the present invention may include a configuration of a plurality of NAS servers managed and operated by a specific company. Super Admin.) Uses the configuration file created as a batch file to remotely update the configuration.

In the NAS server to which the present invention is applied, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, the control unit 10, the memory 11, the signal processing unit 12, the optical disk drive 13, and the first disk are shown. To fourth hard disk drive 14 to 17, LAN module 18, USB module 19, network module 20, and the like, and each of the above configuration means is connected via a bus line. Can be.

In addition, a NAS server to which the present invention is applied includes a client 200 such as a personal computer (PC) used by a specific administrator, for example, a super administrator, and a plurality of NAS servers ( 100 2 to 100 4 may be connected through various types of networks such as the Internet.

The top-level administrator is connected to the NAS server 100 1 through a personal computer (PC) that he or she is using. For example, the top-level administrator is Telnet or S.H. By using a network service of SSH), the NAS server can be connected to the NAS server.

For example, Telnet (Telnet), as is widely known, uses a Unix command by connecting to a web hosting server, supports various tasks required for a home page, and is remote from a personal computer. It's a kind of network utility that allows you to connect to your web hosting server and work on it.

On the other hand, since the Secure Shell (SSH) is functionally similar to the Telnet, but encrypts all packets transmitted and received, even if a third party hacks the packet without a decryption key, the contents are decrypted. Since it can not be done, there is an advantage of having a high security.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, the top-level administrator connects to a NAS server using a personal computer (PC), etc. remotely located, and thereafter, a NAS Web UI screen. Through the above, a user ID and password set in advance are input.

At this time, between the personal computer and the NAS server, Telnet (Selnet) or a network service of the SS (SSH) can be used, and after that, the top-level administrator, through the NAS Web UI screen, NAS server You will select various configuration menu items provided by.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5, when a unique user ID and password assigned to the top-level administrator are input and login is normally performed (S10), the NAS server 100 In 1 ), all configuration menu items that can be set by local administrators are provided through the NAS web user interface screen.

In addition, the top-level administrator may display various configuration menu items displayed on a monitor screen such as a personal computer, for example, a system, a service, and a share, as shown in FIG. 5. After selecting various configuration menu items such as (S11), a corresponding configuration file is created as a script file (Batch File) (S12).

In addition, through the above process to check the NAS server (100 2 ~ 100 4 ) of the target (Target) target to transmit the configuration file created as a batch file (S13), for example, Check the target NAS server by comparing the serial number assigned to the NAS server to update to the same environment and the serial numbers for each NAS server previously stored and managed in the database. Done.

Then, the configuration file created by the batch file, through a network service of Telnet or S, to perform a series of configuration file transfer operation to transmit to the NAS server (100 2 ~ 100 4 ) of the target target (S14) For example, while creating the environment setting file as described above, the task currently being held is suspended, and the interrupt interrupted during the updating of the environment setting is interrupted. Make sure that the transfer and reboot of the configuration file is safe.

On the other hand, in the NAS server of the target object, as shown in Fig. 6, when receiving the configuration file created by the top-level administrator in a batch file through the network service of Telnet or S (S20), the received The validity of the environment setting file is determined (S21).

For example, in the NAS server of the target object, when the serial number received together with the configuration file is matched with reference to a unique serial number assigned by the target server, the NAS server is determined to be a valid configuration file and is presently present. Any task in operation is suspended (S22).

In addition to performing a rebooting operation based on the configuration file created by the batch file, the configuration menu item included in the configuration file, that is, a menu item selected by a top-level administrator, for example, a system ( The environment is updated according to various configuration menu items such as System, Service, and Share (S23).

In addition, after the environment is updated and configured through the above process, the previously reserved task is executed and processed again (S24). For example, execution of the reserved task is performed in the newly set environment. If it is inappropriate or impossible, the corresponding guidance message will be displayed.

For example, when the previously set System Language is changed from Korean to English, a corresponding prompt message is displayed so that the user can easily recognize the change.

On the other hand, the top manager, by using the above-described series of processes, randomly create a firmware update file, and transmits to a plurality of target NAS server, through the Telnet or SNS network services, the target The target NAS server determines whether or not the firmware update file is valid by referring to a serial number or the like.

In addition, according to the firmware update file, firmware previously stored is updated, so that firmware already stored in a plurality of NAS servers can be easily updated with a new version of firmware desired by a top-level administrator. .
