Creating a New File Volume
File volumes are the basic unit of storage for a file system on the NAS server.
In order to create file volumes, you must already have created one or more
volume groups.
To create a new file volume:
1
In the Command View NAS web interface, click the Storage tab.
2
Navigate down the tree to File Volumes, then select File Volumes
Summary.
3
Select Actions > Create New File Volume.
4
Select a volume group from the pull-down menu.
5
Enter a new File Volume Name.
6
Enter the desired file volume Capacity.
7
Check whether you want quota management enabled. Quotas allow you
to restrict the space usage on your system for both users and groups.
8
When you store data in your new file volume, the available space
decreases. To send an SNMP alert when the used space on a volume
reaches a certain percentage, select a percentage from the Send
Notification at drop-down list. Note: This percentage is used in
conjunction with the settings you entered on the SNMP alert, email, and
Syslog configuration pages.
9
Click OK to create the file volume.
You have now created a new volume. You must make this volume available to
users before they can access it:
■
For Windows NT users, create a share.
■
For UNIX users, create an export.
