Enter Volume Name

In the Enter Volume Name field, enter a name for your SAN Volume. The SAN Volume Name must be alphanumeric, not have any spaces and be between one and 63 characters in length.

Enter Volume Size

In the Enter Volume Size field, enter the size that you want to use for your SAN Volume. The field is measured in Giga-Bytes GB.

Select Thin or Exact Provisioning

Select the type of provisioning that you want to use.

If you select Thin, the volume can be assigned a size greater than the actual physical size of the storage device. For example, if the storage device has an actual physical size of 500 GB, the user can assign a size of up to 8 TB per box. Based on the consumption of the storage device’s physical capacity, more physical drive capacity can be added later as desired.

If you select Exact, the volume size cannot exceed the actual physical space available in the storage device.

Note: It is recommended to leave 20% of the physical space free for snapshots.
