Creating and Modifying Volumes
Once a volume is created, you can use Adaptec Storage Manager to modify it. This
section describes how to:
• Create a new volume after setup is complete (see the following section).
• Add capacity to a volume (see page 97).
• Reassign a volume to a different iSCSI Storage Host (see page 97).
• Delete a volume (see page 98).
To mirror a volume to add another layer of data protection, see "Backing Up
Note
Your Data with Mirrored Volumes" on page 69.
Creating a New Volume
You can add new volumes to your IP SAN at any time, as long as adequate pool
space is available.
To create a new volume:
In the Enterprise View, select the iSCSI Storage Host you want. (To add a new
1
iSCSI Storage Host, see page 86.)
A pool with available space must be available on your iSCSI Storage
Note
Appliance before you can build a volume or mirrored volume on an iSCSI
Storage Host. (To create a mirrored volume, see "Backing Up Your Data with
Mirrored Volumes" on page 69.)
