Chapter 5 Configuring the xStack Storage Array
5.4.1.1
Creating Volumes
Adding volumes defines what volumes are accessible through the target. Using the management
console, you can create volumes automatically or manually.
The automatic method is the fastest way to create volumes. See Section 5.4.1.1.1.
The manual method lets you customize and fine-tune volumes. See Section 5.4.1.1.2.
5.4.1.1.1
Creating Volumes Automatically
The following procedure describes how to create volumes automatically with the Create Volume
Wizard. With this method, the administrator answers questions about the required redundancy,
size, and usage characteristics of the volume. The xStack Storage Array then determines the
remaining parameters needed to allocate the storage space and create the volume. As you create
volumes, record the information in Appendix B.
