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.
