1.1. About This Guide¶

This guide complements the documentation on managing Acronis Storage via the web-based management panel.

It is recommended to manage Acronis Storage via the management panel. If you have it installed, consider the command-line tools secondary and use them with caution.

If you have the management panel installed, do not do the following via the command-line tools:

• set custom paths for Acronis Storage services, in particular:
  • create S3 clusters only in /mnt/vstorage/vols/s3,
  • create iSCSI targets only in /mnt/vstorage/vols/iscsi,
• mount clusters or change cluster mount options,
• configure firewall with firewall-cmd,
• rename network connections,
• manage MDS/CS,
• manage partitions, LVMs, or software RAID,
• modify files in /mnt/vstorage/vols and /mnt/vstorage/webcp/backup directories,
• set encoding or replication of cluster root.
