Volume

Use the Volume tab to manage storage volumes on the SilverStore. You can use modify,
extend, and recover options to manage the storage volumes. This tab displays all the
volumes currently defined on the SilverStore hard drive and provides access to configuration
details relating to how disks are partitioned and how RAID volumes are created on these
disk partitions. You can use these volumes to create shares at a later time.
The Volume tab includes a table that shows the current volumes available on the SilverStore.
This table provides detailed summary of the current volume configuration, such as the
name of the volume, description, RAID type (i.e. Stripe, Mirror, or Span), total drive capacity
and volume status. A volume is a portion of one or more hard disks that are configured
to store data.
The volume status that appears in the Status column includes the following values:
• Good - Indicates the volume is accessible and hard drive is functioning normally.
• Failed - Indicates a volume cannot be started automatically, the disk is damaged or the
file system is corrupt.
• Resyncing - Occurs when creating a mirror or when a mirrored volume is being
resynchronized so both mirrors contain identical data.
• Formatting - Indicates volume is being formatted or system is creating an ext3 (third
extended) file system for a Linux operating system
• Degraded - A drive is missing while setting up a mirror configuration.
• Recovering - Occurs when the system detects a spare drive.
You can also use the Volume tab to configure the SATA hard drives into different software
RAID types. RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disk Drives) refers to an array of multiple
independent hard drives that provide high performance and reliability. RAID function
depends on the number of drives present and the RAID level you selected.
