Configure File System

Specify the parameters to configure file storage.

If you are not an administrator, the necessary groups and policies must be in place before you can create a domain.

You can configure a file storage as follows:

Note:

You can configure an existing file system, configure an existing mount target, and create a file system and mount target, if you only chose to use an existing VCN with new subnets, or existing VCN and existing subnets.

• Configure Existing File System
• Configure Existing Mount Target
• Configure File System and Mount Target
• Configure File Storage for a New VCN

Note:

Ensure that you have set up the user group polices and dynamic group polices that are applicable for the configuration. See User Group Policies and Dynamic Group Policies.

Configure Existing File System

Specify the parameters to configure an existing file system.

1. Select Existing File System.
2. Select the name of the availability domain for your file system and mount target.
3. Select the compartment where you have the existing file system.
4. Specify the OCID of the existing file system.
5. Select the compartment where you have the existing mount target.
6. Select the existing mount target. The mount target must reside within the subnet in the selected VCN.

Configure Existing Mount Target

Specify the parameters to configure an existing mount target.

1. Select the name of the availability domain for your file system and mount target.
2. Select Existing Mount Target.
3. Select the compartment where you have the existing mount target.
4. Select the existing mount target. The mount target must reside within the subnet in the selected VCN.

Configure File System and Mount Target

Specify the parameters to configure file system and mount target, if you do not want to use an existing mount target or an existing file system.

1. Select the name of the availability domain for your file system and mount target.

   Note:

   You can select the availability domain for regional subnets only.
2. For the subnets, specify one of the following:
   • If you want to use an existing regional subnet, then choose the name of an existing regional subnet from the list of regional and availability domain-specific subnets.
   • If you are creating a new regional subnet, specify a CIDR for the new subnet.
3. If you are using existing network security groups (NSGs) for an existing subnet, specify the NSG that is assigned to the mount target.

   Note:

   You can specify NSGs only for an existing VCN and existing subnet.

Configure File System for a New VCN

Specify the parameters to configure file storage if you chose to create a new VCN.

1. Select the availability domain in which you want to create the file system and mount target.
2. Specify a CIDR for the new mount target subnet.
