The alias must consist of 1 to 64 characters from any of the following groups:
• Letters: A to Z, a to z
• Numbers: 0 to 9

8. Specify the capacity of the volume.
The volume type determines the maximum volume capacity.
Volume Type
Maximum Size
Thick
Amount of free space in the parent storage pool.
Thin
Twenty times the amount of free space in the parent
storage pool
Setting the maximum size of a thin volume to a value that is greater than the amount of free space in
the storage pool is called over-allocation.
9. Specify the number of bytes per inode.
The number of bytes per inode determines the maximum volume size and the number of files and
folders that the volume can store. Increasing the number of bytes per inode results in a larger
maximum volume size, but a lower maximum number of files and folders.
10. Optional: Configure advanced settings.
