SMIT fastpath
This command can be accessed through the SMIT fast path by executing smit
mkvol. This displays all of the options that you can choose when creating a
volume.
WebSM
To create a volume using WebSM, navigate to: NAS Management→NAS
System→Volumes→Overview and Tasks→Create a NAS Volume.
Changing a NAS volume
Use the NAS command chvol if you want to rename your volume or perhaps
change the owning group. This may be useful if the volume name represents the
type of data that is to reside on the volume and the volume now contains a different
type of data. Also, if you have two volumes that have a lot of activity being served
from one group, you may want to move one to another group that does not have a
lot of activity. This helps balance the load and increase performance.
Note: This command also applies to remotely mirrored volumes
CLI command
To change the name of a volume, use the CLI command chvol [ -n
new_volumename ] volumename.
To move the volume to another group, use the CLI command chvol -r
resource_group.
Parameter
-n new_volumename
SMIT fastpath
To change the name of the volume with SMIT, use the smit chvol command.
WebSM
To change a volume in WebSM, navigate to: NAS Management→NAS
System→→Volumes→All Volumes→ (right-click a volume) →Change.
Deleting a NAS volume
Use the NAS command rmvol if you want to remove the NAS volume and all of its
data from the system. The NAS volume is destroyed and the disks are released for
use in other volumes. The file system and the snapshots are deleted.
If the system has been configured for remote mirroring, the remote NAS volume
can also be deleted at the same time that the local volume is being deleted.
Description
Specifies the name of the node where the remote
disks reside.
Description
Specifies that the name of the NAS volume identified by
volumename is to be changed to the name specified by
new_volumename.
