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.
