You can create a volume and attach it to a data SVM. Each volume can be exposed to clients using one of the access protocols supported by AFX.

About this task

When creating a volume, you need to provide a minimum amount of configuration details. Additional details can be provided during creation or afterwards by editing the volume. You need to select the SVM for the volume if you've created additional data SVMs.

Steps

  1. In System Manager, select Storage and then Volumes.

  2. Select Add with blue background and provide the basic configuration including name, capacity, and optimization.

  3. Optionally select More options for additional configuration related to data protection, SnapLock, and NFS access.

  4. Select Save to add the volume.
