Configuring Storage

The appliance uses storage pools to manage physical storage devices. After configuring these pools based on physical characteristics and the desired level of data redundancy, you can store filesystems and LUNs, collectively known as shares, in these pools. Shares, which are contained in projects, automatically grow within the disk space allocated to the pool, and pools can span multiple storage devices. Although there is no need to statically size shares, you can control space usage using quotas and reservations. For more information, see Space Management for Shares.

To configure and manage storage, use these tasks:

  • Creating a Storage Pool - BUI, CLI

  • Importing an Existing Storage Pool - BUI, CLI

  • Configuring an All-Flash Storage Pool - BUI, CLI

  • Adding a Disk Shelf to an Existing Storage Pool - BUI, CLI

  • Adding a Cache, Meta, or Log Device to an Existing Storage Pool - BUI, CLI

  • Removing a Cache or Log Device from an Existing Storage Pool - BUI, CLI

  • Unconfiguring a Storage Pool - BUI, CLI

  • Renaming a Storage Pool - BUI, CLI
