6.5Manage shares (prepare logical device for service)

By default, all logical devices are unformatted and not yet visible to either iSCSI or NAS services. The manage share menu is used to prepare a logical device for one or more of these services (iSCSI, NFS or SMB). The manage share will display a menu for each logical device defined, along with options to make service assignments.

	Format		This button is available for logical devices not yet designated as either iSCSI or NAS.
			Formatting a physical disk will permanently erase all existing data.
			If the Share type field is nfs or smb, this button commits the logical device and enables a
	Share		“file share mount point”.
			If the Share type field iSCSI this button is commits the logical device and enables an “iSCSI
			mount point”.
Block			Indicates the bytes on the logical device are not managed by the ATCA-S201. If exposed by
			iSCSI, an external host owns the device in its entirety (partitioning, formatting etc.).
File			Indicates the logical device is formatted, and the bytes on the device are managed by the
			ATCA-S201 and its Linux file system including partitioning and formatting.

6.5.1Commit a logical drive for iSCSI service

A newly defined logical drive is immediately ready for iSCSI block sharing. In the example above, the logical disk named /dev/vga/lva0 is ready for “iSCSI share”.
