Before you begin using a storage pool to store data, you must create one or more volumes
to organize how the information is stored on the pool. After you create a volume, you can
share the volume using NFS or CIFS, but not both.
Note:
If you want to configure the volume to use the NFI service (Network File
Interface) to automatically transfer files from the NAS storage to the local system’s
storage domains or to a remote BlackPearl system, configure the NFI service
before configuring the volume. See
Configure the NFI Service on page 235
.
Use the following steps to create a volume on a storage pool.
1.
From the menu bar, select
Configuration > NAS > Volumes
, or click the Volumes pane on
the Dashboard. The Volumes screen displays.
