Creating a New File Volume

92 Managing Your Storage
File volumes are the basic unit of storage for a file system on the NAS server.
In order to create file volumes, you must already have created one or more
volume groups.
To create a new file volume:
1 In the Command View NAS web interface, click the Storage tab.
2 Navigate down the tree to File Volumes, then select File Volumes
Summary.
3 Select Actions > Create New File Volume.
4 Select a volume group from the pull-down menu.
5 Enter a new File Volume Name.
6 Enter the desired file volume Capacity.
7 Check whether you want quota management enabled. Quotas allow you
to restrict the space usage on your system for both users and groups.
8 When you store data in your new file volume, the available space
decreases. To send an SNMP alert when the used space on a volume
reaches a certain percentage, select a percentage from the Send
Notification at drop-down list. Note: This percentage is used in
conjunction with the settings you entered on the SNMP alert, email, and
Syslog configuration pages.
9 Click OK to create the file volume.
You have now created a new volume. You must make this volume available to
users before they can access it:
For Windows NT users, create a share.

For UNIX users, create an export.
