5.2 Creating a volume
The first thing for the administrator to do with the storage is to create a volume on the hard disks.
Then he or she can share the storage for user access and set security control. To create a volume,
first go to the Volume→Create page. Specify the volume name in the Volume Name field and
choose the volume type (JBOD, RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6 or RAID 10). Then choose the
hard disks to be included in the volume. Last, click Apply to submit changes. The progress of
volume creation is shown on the Volume→Information page. Below are the volume types.
