Planning:
In this system, storage is spread across logical drives. On these drives, you must create file
volumes to divide your disk space. Each logical drive can be divided into as many as 4 file volumes.
It is important that you plan storage space allocation prior to
creating file volumes. Although the HP NetStorage 6000 allows
you to expand your file volumes later, you may want to reserve
extra space during setup to allow for easier expansion. This will
save time and effort later if you need more storage space in a
particular file volume.
To Create a File Volume:
A.
Select
Storage > Logical Drives > Actions >
Create File Volume
.
B.
In the dialog box that appears, enter a new file volume
name, designate which partition to allocate from, enter
desired file system size, and click
OK
.
Once you have created a file volume, you can share that storage space with other user as follows:
You can attach an HP SureStore DLT Autoloader 1/9 to your unit to perform local backups. To order an
new autoloader (C7146NB), or a SCSI cable for an existing autoloader (D6020A), please contact your
HP Authorized Reseller. To connect the autoloader:
For Windows Users:
A.
Select
Storage > File Volumes
.
B.
If you want to create directories, select a file
volume and click
Actions > Create Directory
.
C.
In the Windows Networking box, select the
desired share option:
• Not Shared to deny access.
• Share As to allow access.
D.
Fill in the fields, and click
Apply
.
For UNIX Users:
A.
Select
Storage > File Volumes
.
B.
Select a file volume.
