Chapter 4. Using NFP Storage Manager 1.1

Volume Setting

System administrator can create/remove/repair volume through this
page. The maximum number of volumes this system can support is
1.5 times of the total number of hard disks. Thus in a model with four
hard disks, the system can create at the most six volumes, i.e. (4*1.5),
etc. There is no need to restart the server for volume creation,
removal or repair to take effect.
