Volume and Snapshot Commands
 
These commands manage the way Containers, Volumes and Snapshots are created, or expanded. While some 
of these commands are specific to either NAS or iSCSI volumes, most will work in both types of volumes. 
 
Command
Argument
Description
create volume
-t/--type {container} 
-c/--containername
-k/--chunksize< {64} in KB> 
-l/--ldname
For example: create –t container –c c0 –k 64 –l 
/dev/md2 volume (1U) 
For example: create –t container –c c0 –k 64 –l 
/dev/sdb volume (3U) 
Creates a container. 
Note: 
The chunk size should be 64K 
The device name should be in the 
form /dev/mdx or /dev/sdx where x 
can be 0,1,2,3… 
create volume
-t/--type { volume } 
-c/--containername 
-v/--volumename 
-z/--volumesize 
-k/-- 
-p/--provisiontype< provisiontype {0/1/2} > 
-e/--volumetype 
-f/--voldialect 
For example:
create -t volume -c Cont0 -v
AutoNas -k 64 -z 20 -e 0 -p 2 -f 1 volume 
 
Creates a Volume. 
Note: 
1)volumetype ([0]-ROW 
 
2) voldialect ([[0]-ISCSI [1]-NAS) 
 
3)provisiontype ([0]-Thin [1]-

As a best practice measure, it is 
recommended that 20% of 
container capacity be reserved (left 
free) for snapshots. 
create volume
-t/--type {snap} 
-c/--containername 
-v/--volumename 
-s/--snapname 
For example: create –t snap –c c0 –v v0 –s snap00 
volume 
Creates a read-only Snapshot. 
Note: A total of 254 read-only 
Snapshot can be created per 
volume. And the total number of 
snapshots (read-only + writable) is 
992 per iTX device. 
create volume
-t/--type {snap} 
-c/--containername 
-v/--volumename 
-s/--snapname 
-w/--writablesnapname
For example: create –t snap –c c0 –v v0 –s snap00 
–w wsnap00 volume 
Creates a writable Snapshot over a 
read-only snapshot. 
Note: A total of 254 writable 
Snapshot can be created per 
volume. But the total number of 
snapshots (read-only + writable) 
should be 992 per iTX device. 
create volume
-t/--type { snap } 
-c/--containername 
-v/--volumename 
-s/--snapname 
-R/--remotesnap 
Creates a snapshot on the local 
target as well as the remote target if 
the volume is replication enabled. 
If only –R is given, only the remote 
snapshot is created. If only –L is
