Create Volumes For Server

This Wizard allows you to create and map multiple volumes to a server at once.

Select Add Volume to add an additional volume to be created for this server.

• If the Copy the selected volume when adding a volume option is selected, the added volume will copy all attributes except name from the volume currently selected in the volume list.
• If the Use My Volume Defaults when adding a volume option is selected, the added volume will use the default settings for creating a volume.

Select Remove Selected Volume to remove the volume currently selected in the volume list.

Select Modify Selected Volume to modify the volume currently selected in the volume list.

Select Create Volumes Now to create the volumes you have defined. If the Map Volumes to this server using default settings upon creation checkbox is selected, the volumes will be automatically mapped to the selected server after they are created.

What You Need to Know

If you intend to add multiple volumes with similar attributes, you should modify the first volume in the list, then copy the attributes from this volume when adding additional volumes

Adding a volume to the volume list in the Create Volumes For Server wizard does not cause the volume to be created. Volumes are only created when you select Create Volumes Now.

When mapping volumes, the Create Volumes For Server wizard uses the default mapping options. If there are special considerations for mapping volumes to this server, you should unselect the Map Volumes to this server using default settings upon creation checkbox and manually map the volumes to the server later.

To create volumes with compression enabled, the platform must support compression and the disk folder from which the volume draws storage must have at least tier 1 and tier 3 disks.
