Managing Your Storage

Creating a Directory

You can create directories under the root level of a file volume, or under any
directory in the hierarchy. Directories let you organize your data.
Note:
To create a directory:
1. In Command View NAS, click the Storage tab.
2. Under File Volumes, select Shares/Exports.
3. Navigate through the directory tree that appears in the browser and highlight
4. Select Actions > Create New Directory.
5. Enter the directory name and click OK.
You have created a new directory. This directory is available to users only if the
volume or directory in which it is located is already available. Otherwise, you
must make this directory available to users before they can access it.
The new directory has a default permission setting (777 in UNIX, Everyone in
Windows). After you use Command View NAS to create a directory, you should
modify the permissions (through a trusted host in UNIX, or in Windows Explorer)
to suit your needs.

Renaming a Directory

To rename a directory:
1. In Command View NAS, click the Storage tab.
2. Under File Volumes, select Shares/Exports.
3. Navigate through the directory tree that appears in the browser and highlight
4. Select Actions > Rename Selected Directory.
5. Enter a new name and click OK.
