Creating and Modifying Volumes
96 Snap Server 700i Series User’s Guide
Once a volume is created, you can use Adaptec Storage Manager to modify it. This
section describes how to:
• Create a new volume after setup is complete (see the following section).
• Add capacity to a volume (see page 97).
• Reassign a volume to a different iSCSI Storage Host (see page 97).
• Delete a volume (see page 98).
Note
To mirror a volume to add another layer of data protection, see “Backing Up
Your Data with Mirrored Volumes” on page 69.
Creating a New Volume
You can add new volumes to your IP SAN at any time, as long as adequate pool
space is available.
To create a new volume:
1
In the Enterprise View, select the iSCSI Storage Host you want. (To add a new
iSCSI Storage Host, see page 86.)
Note
A pool with available space must be available on your iSCSI Storage
Appliance before you can build a volume or mirrored volume on an iSCSI
Storage Host. (To create a mirrored volume, see “Backing Up Your Data with
Mirrored Volumes” on page 69.)
2
In the
Actions
menu, select
Create volume
or click the
Create Volume
button.
The wizard opens.

Continue with Step 3 on page 41 of “Provisioning Storage
