System Overview
MASS is a storage appliance solution that combines MangoBoost's NVMe hardware with integrated management software. It arrives as a cluster of physical nodes with storage already initialized, and you manage it entirely through the Dashboard (web UI) or CLI — no additional infrastructure required.
Management Interfaces​
Dashboard​
The Dashboard is a web application available at https://<head-node-ip>:30082
(plain HTTP on port 30080). It provides a single management console for:
- Dashboard — System state, capacity, active alerts, performance trend
- Storage — Volume groups, volumes, presets, orphan storage
- Hardware — Cluster map, node and drive health, drive replacement, network configuration
- Identity & Access — Users, groups, machine identities, access rules, connected hosts
- Protection — Snapshots, backups, data migrations
- Analytics — Performance, capacity, usage and ranking
- System — Logs, alerts, notification routing, array settings, software updates, support
CLI (mass-ctl)​
Installed on client machines that need to mount volumes. Used for:
- Mounting and unmounting volumes
- Registering a machine so a whole host can mount volumes persistently
- Copying bulk data into a volume (
dsync) - Optimizing I/O performance for specific workloads (
env)
See the CLI Reference for full details.
info
The administrative build of the CLI (mass-all) adds storage and identity management
commands. It is installed on the appliance itself, not on client machines.
