Adding a NAS Volume
To add a NAS volume:
1 Click Add in the Action bar above the NAS volumes list.
The Add NAS Volume page is displayed.
2 Enter the new NAS volume parameters and click Save Changes to create
the NAS volume.
3 Click Revert to restore default properties.
Modifying a NAS Volume
To modify the parameters of a specific NAS volume, do the following:
1 Click a specific NAS volume in the NAS volume list. The properties of the
selected NAS volume are displayed.
2 Change the parameters as required and click Save Changes.
NOTE:
If you change the name of the NAS volume, users connected to a share or
export on this volume will be disconnected and need to mount to the new share
name.
NOTE:
If you change the allocated space for the NAS volume, the new allocation is
bounded by its used space (minimum) and the available space in Dell PowerVault
NX3500 (maximum).
Removing a NAS Volume
When a NAS volume is no longer needed, it can be conveniently removed. To
remove a NAS volume:
1 Ensure that the NAS volume is not mounted and warn relevant users they
will be disconnected.
2 Select the specific NAS volume in the NAS volumes list and click Delete
in the Action bar. The selected NAS volume is deleted.
NOTE:
Deleting a NAS volume will delete all the NAS volume's files and directories
as well as its properties, that is, shares, snapshots definitions and so on. Once
deleted, the NAS volume cannot be restored unless it is redefined and restored
from backup.
The space used by this deleted NAS volume will be reclaimed in the
background, so it might take a short while before you can define a new NAS
volume using the freed up space.
