Table 19: Volume Details Fields
Select the array on which you want to create the volume.
The size of each array is listed next to its name.
You can also create volumes directly on an empty drive. This is
called a standalone drive.
Do one of the following:
Use the slide to indicate the desired size of the volume out
of the total array size.
Type the desired volume size in GB in the field provided.
Note: If snapshots are enabled, you cannot decrease the size of
the volume.
Select the desired volume type:
File System (NAS). A NAS volume, which can be accessed
using the various file sharing protocols supported by the
appliance.
Raw volume (SAN). A SAN volume, which can be accessed
using iSCSI only.
For more information on volume types, see Overview (on page
63).
Once set, the volume type cannot be changed.
Select this option to enable NEXT3 snapshots for the volume.
The volume will be installed with the NEXT3 file system, and
snapshots will automatically be taken of the volume before
each cloud backup or outgoing synchronization rule is
performed.
Note: This option relates to NEXT3 snapshots only, and clearing
it will not prevent cloud snapshots from being created. For
information on types of snapshots, see Working with
Snapshots (see "Working with Volume Snapshots" on page 87).
This option is only available if the volume type is File System
(NAS).
