Create Volumes

This wizard allows you to create multiple volumes at once.

Select Add Volume to add an additional volume to be created.

• 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.
• If Data Compression is licensed and the Create Volumes with Compression enabled option is selected, the added volumes will have Compression enabled.

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.

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 wizard does not cause the volume to be created. Volumes are only created when you select Create Volumes Now.

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.
