Chapter 4 Managing Volumes
4.1
Understanding the Volume View
In the Volume View, the Main Display shows information about the volumes on the xStack
Storage array. The information shown can be sorted by volume name or by iSCSI initiator
using the two radio buttons in the Main Display.
By default, the
Sort by Volume
button is selected (see Figure 4-1). When this button is
selected, the Main Display provides a volume-centric view of the volumes on the xStack
Storage and any unused iSCSI initiators. If you click the
Sort by Initiator
radio button,
information in the Main Display is resorted to an iSCSI initiator-centric view, with iSCSI
initiators displayed above the volumes associated with them (see Figure 4-2).
If you click a volume in the Main Display:
An icon to the left of the Detail Tabs shows the composition of the volume you selected
(for example, parity, JBOD, etc.).
The
Volume Actions
panel lets you grant or revoke iSCSI access to the volume; scan,
destroy, grow, or reconfigure the volume; and view advanced extent information. See
section 4.3. If you are using a DSN-5000 Series array with dual controllers and those
controllers are unable to bind, the
Volume Actions
panel is replaced with an
Unable to
Bind
action panel that allows you to take corrective action.
The Detail Tabs let you rename and view volume information, view extent information,
enable Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP), set a CHAP password,
grant or revoke iSCSI initiator access to the volume, and view or define advanced
settings. See section 4.4.
