Creating a Filesystem or LUN in a Project (BUI)

A filesystem or LUN created within a project inherits the properties of the project. For a list of standard properties that can be inherited, see Inherited Properties. If the project is encrypted, a filesystem or LUN created within it is also encrypted.

If you are adding a filesystem or LUN to a non-default project, the project must already exist. To create a new project, see Creating a Project (BUI).

1. Go to Shares > Shares.
2. Select Filesystems or LUNs.
3. Click the add icon .
4. Complete the fields in the Create Filesystem or Create LUN dialog box.

   • For a filesystem, select a project and enter a name.

   • For a LUN, select a project, enter a name and specify the volume size.

   A name must consist of 1 to 64 characters, but not include spaces or begin with a period. Allowable characters are: alphanumeric and special characters _ - . :

5. Click Apply.
