Editing a File Volume
The Edit File Volume dialog box lets you:
■ Rename the file volume
■ Extend the size of an existing file volume
■ Enable/disable quotas
■ Change the trap threshold
You cannot change the volume group that the file volume is a part of.
An important aspect of managing file volumes is the concept of resizing file
volumes. If a file volume becomes full of data, you can extend the file volume,
thus alleviating the lack of space on the file volume.
To extend a file volume, there must be free storage space in the volume group
that contains the file volume. This free space does not have to be on the same
LUN as the file volume to be extended — you can create file volumes that
span across arrays as long as the LUNs are in the same volume group. This
gives you the option of extending existing file volumes by extending the
volume group.
To edit an existing 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 the file volume you want to delete by clicking the row.
4 Select Actions > Edit Selected File Volume.
5 You can:
— Enter a new name for the file volume.
— Enter the size you want the file volume to become. Be careful to remain
within the limits stated (current size must be greater than or equal to
the new size, which must be less than or equal to the space available
on the volume group).
— Check or uncheck quota management enabled.
— Change the SNMP trap threshold.
6 Click OK.
