Enter Volume Name
In the Enter Volume Name field, enter a name for the NAS Volume. The NAS 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 desired for the NAS Volume. The field is measured in Gigabytes (GB).
Select Thin or Exact Provisioning
Select the type of provisioning desired.
If Thin Provisioning is selected, 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 256 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 Exact Provisioning is selected, 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.
