number of ways to navigate backward and forward within a PDF that

you might find useful:

Navigate using the keyboard shortcuts (Windows)

•<Alt> + <left arrow key> to navigate backward

•<Alt> + <right arrow key> to navigate forward

Navigate using the keyboard shortcuts (Mac)

About the StorNext M660 Hardware

About the StorNext

M660 Metadata

Appliance

The StorNext M660 Metadata Appliance offers the powerful file-sharing

capabilities of StorNext in an optimized appliance package. The

StorNext M660 comes with a pair of metadata controller (MDCs) nodes

in a High Availability (HA) configuration and a high-performance

metadata array. An optional metadata disk expansion unit adds another

metadata array to the system for additional file systems, performance

and capacity. The appliance comes in two models: the StorNext M661

and M662.

Note: At times this guide uses StorNext M660 as a generic term that

applies to the StorNext M661 and the StorNext M662 models.

When information pertains to a specific StorNext M660 model

only, those differences are noted.

MDCs coordinate SAN file access across clients. Additionally, the

standby node can be used as a distributed data mover (DDM) host using

the included license, or both MDC nodes can be used as LAN client

gateways in non-Lattus systems.

During installation, the StorNext M660 can be configured for use in

different storage environments - in StorNext environments operating as

a StorNext Metadata Controller (MDC) High Availability (HA) pair with

access to both disk and tape libraries, or as a StorNext MDC HA pair

with access to disk, tape, and Lattus storage.

Note: Access to Lattus storage is available on M662Metadata

Appliances only.
