Viewing File Volume Information

File volumes are the basic unit of logical storage for a file system on the NAS
server. You create file volumes by allocating space in a volume group. Therefore,
before you can create a file volume, you must create a volume group.
After you have created file volumes, you can create directories under the new file
volumes to organize your data.
To view summary information on all file volumes that exist on your NAS server:
1. In Command View NAS, click the Storage tab.
2. Under File Volumes, select File Volumes Summary.
Note:
the associated failover package.
A table displays the following information for every file volume:
You can click on a column heading to sort items in that column. The Actions
button in the upper left corner lets you to create, edit, and delete file volumes.
From the Actions button you can also create a new snapshot or refresh the
information in the table by selecting Actions > Refresh.
