CREATING AN ENCRYPTED POOL

Encrypted pools provide security for the data stored in the pool. Encrypted pools must be remounted whenever SimpleShare is rebooted, powered off or reset to factory defaults. Instructions for mounting an encrypted pool are provided in “Mounting Encrypted Pools” on page 92.

1In the Disk Management menu, click Create New Pool.

2In New Pool Name, enter a descriptive name for the encrypted pool.

3Select Encrypt Pool.

4In Encryption Password, enter the password to be used to encrypt data in the pool. In Confirm Password, re-enter the password to verify it was entered correctly.

Passwords should be at least eight characters long and may contain any combination of alphanumeric characters (A-Z and 1-9) and special characters such as &, $, and >. Spaces are not allowed.

5To allocate all available disk space on SimpleShare to the new pool, in Pool Mapping Preference, select Auto Configuration, then continue to Step 7 on page 86.

Selecting Auto Configuration automatically selects the
