7. Optional: Specify an alias for the volume.

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

• Special characters: Hyphen (-), underscore (_)

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.
