3.Configure the settings as explained in the following table:

Item

Description

 

 

Name

A unique name to identify the LUN. Do not include spaces in the name. All characters must

 

be alphanumeric.

 

 

Description

An optional description to help identify the LUN.

 

 

Compression

Select the Compression check box to enable data compression. Compression saves

 

storage space and increases the speed of data transfers, but the compression and

 

decompression processes require additional resources. By default, the Compression check

 

box is cleared.

Continuous

Select the Continuous Protection check box to enable data protection through snapshots

Protection

and configure how often snapshots are taken. By default, the Continuous Protection check

 

box is selected. For more information about snapshots, see Chapter 5, Snapshots.

 

Interval

The interval specifies how often a snapshot is made. Make a selection from the

 

 

drop-down list:

 

 

• Hourly. A snapshot is taken every hour on the hour.

 

 

• Daily. A snapshot is taken every day at midnight. This is the default setting.

 

 

• Weekly. A snapshot is taken every week on Friday at midnight.

 

 

 

Provision

Select how storage space is provisioned. Make a selection from the drop-down list:

 

• Thin. Even though you specify the size of the LUN when you create it, storage space is

 

assigned on demand instead of up front. The size of the LUN is reported as the total

 

storage space that you specify when you create the LUN.

 

• Thick. All storage space that you specify when you create the LUN is also allocated

 

up front. The size of the LUN is reported as the total storage space that you specify when

 

you create the LUN. This is the default method.

 

Note: Make sure that you watch the volume capacity of the volume on which the

 

overallocated LUN resides so you do not run out of storage space unexpectedly.

 

Note: NETGEAR recommends that you do not use an overallocated thin LUN for storage

 

of critical data. Instead, use a thick LUN.

 

 

Size

Specify the size of the LUN. The maximum size that you can allocate to the LUN is stated at

 

the bottom of the screen.

 

 

 

 

Unit

Select the unit of measurement from the drop-down list:

 

 

• MB.

 

 

• GB. This is the default unit of measurement.

 

 

• TB.

 

 

 

4.Click Create.

The ReadyNAS confirms the creation of a LUN with the message “Folder or LUN successfully created.”

5.Click OK.

The new LUN is added to the Shares screen. Basic information is displayed to the right of the LUN.
