Creating a Volume

+You can create new volumes in your storage environment, as needed. When creating a new volume, you must specify the bricks that comprise the volume and specify whether the volume is to be distributed, replicated, or striped. +

To create a volume, perform the following steps: +

    +
  1. Choose from the menu, toolbar, or right click and select the + Volume and select Create Volume. + +

    The Create Volume window is displayed. +

    Create Volume

    +
  2. Type the name of the volume in the Name field. +
  3. Select the type of the volume from the Type drop-down list. + You can choose the type as either Distribute, Replicate, + or Stripe. +
  4. Bricks will be created on all the disks of the cluster when + you create a volume, by default. Click Customize, to select and add + specific bricks to your volume. +
  5. Select the Access Protocol for the new volume by selecting GlusterFS, NFS, or CIFS checkbox. +
  6. If you choose CIFS, specify the user name and password to use + from Windows clients to connect to the volume. +

    You need to use user-based authentication for CIFS exports, + hence you must specify the user’s who can access the volume as a + comma-separated list in the Users field. + +

    For more information about configuring CIFS, refer CIFS + Services.

  7. In the Allow Access From field, specify the volume access control as a comma-separated list of IP addresses or hostnames. +

    You can use wildcards to specify ranges of addresses. Typing an asterisk (*) specifies all IP addresses or hostnames. You need to use IP-based authentication for Gluster Filesystem and NFS exports.

    +
  8. Select the Start Volume check box to automatically start the + volume once created. +
  9. Click Create Volume. The console displays Create Volume window + to indicate that the volume was successfully created. +
