Configuring A New Storage Volume

The VTrak is shipped with the storage configured ready to use. However, if you should want to delete

the existing storage volumes and create a new storage configuration, the instructions in this section explain

how to do it. The default storage configuration on the VTrak N1008 contains one storage pool with one

storage volumes (

Team_Volume_01

)

, the volume consists of a storage pool

of 8 HDD.

If you have deleted the default storage pool, the

Pool

to begin the configuration. You have the option of using the

Template

setup (one pool, two equal sized volumes) or you choose the

configuration.
