Volume Properties

By clicking a volume's name on the main page, details of that particular volume are shown
on a Volume Properties page. From this secondary page, you can:
• Change the volume name.
• Increase the volume size.
• Enable the write cache (only recommended if a UPS system is attached).
• Delete the entire volume.
Rename a Volume
On the Volume Properties page, enter the new name starting with an alphanumeric
character and using up to 20 alphanumeric characters or hyphens (but not spaces). Then
click OK.
Expand Volume Capacity
A volume's capacity can be expanded by navigating to the Storage > Volumes page and
clicking the name of a volume. There are two ways to expand the size of a volume:
• Adding Unallocated Capacity – If there is unallocated capacity remaining on the
RAID, you can add this capacity to the volume by either (1) editing the Volume size
field to a size less than or equal to the maximum size of the volume, or (2) clicking the
Grow to Max. Size button and then clicking OK.
NOTE: You cannot decrease the size of an existing volume. You can, however, delete the
10400317-003 05/2012
volume and recreate it as a smaller size.
