Chapter 13. Using the Volume Wizard
This chapter describes how to create NAS volumes on your NAS Gateway 500.
NAS volumes are disk space on external disk storage system that serve files to
client machines.
Attention:
create NAS volumes on the NAS Gateway 500. This is done through standalone
clients using the software provided by the storage manufacturer.
The NAS Gateway 500 supports Subsystem Device Driver (SDD); unlike the other
drivers, it is not preinstalled. If you have external storage attached that requires the
SDD, exit the Volume Wizard and install the driver (if you have not already done
so). Any NAS volume configuration performed prior to the installation of the SDD is
lost if the SDD is installed afterward. After the installation of the SDD, you can
execute this wizard again to define your NAS volumes (see "Volume Wizard" on
page 73 for instructions on running the Volume Wizard again). Refer to IBM
TotalStorage Advanced Configuration and Problem Determination Guide for
information about migrating to the SDD on the NAS Gateway 500.
If your external storage requires entry of the World Wide Name (WWN) for the fibre
channel host bus adapters installed in your NAS Gateway 500, it can be obtained
by opening a Web browser and entering:
http://hostname/NAS500GetWWN.html
Where hostname is the hostname you previously entered. If you are setting up a
clustered box, see Chapter 10, "Using the Cluster Wizard," on page 43 for the
hostname. If you are setting up a single node gateway, see Chapter 9, "Using the
Network Configuration Wizard," on page 41 for the hostname.
