Chapter 10 Managing Storage Disks

Adding a Storage Disk

Adding a Storage Disk

Storage disks are treated the same as media in the system. Before you configure a new storage disk, the disk you want to use must be in a file system that is already created and mounted.

Note: When you are creating storage disks, exercise caution before enabling the deduplication feature. Once you create a dedup SDISK, you cannot change it to a non-enabled storage disk.

Conversely, you cannot convert a non-enabled storage disk to

adedup SDISK. However, you can delete a non-enabled storage disk or dedup SDISK and then recreate the storage disk with deduplication either enabled or disabled.

Use the following procedure to add storage disks.

1From the SNSM home page, choose Storage Disk > Config from the Admin menu. The Configure Storage Disk screen appears.
