    The Add Object page is displayed.

  4. Select an object type. Possible options are Volume, Snapshot, and Storage Pool.

    • Volume
      1. Select the storage pool to which desired volumes belong.
      2. In the Available Volumes area, select one or more volumes and they are added to the Selected Volumes area on the right automatically.
    • Snapshot
      1. Select the storage pool to which desired snapshots belong.
      2. In the Available Snapshots area, select one or more snapshots and they are added to the Selected Snapshots area on the right automatically.
    • Storage Pool

      • If different QoS policies are configured for a volume and its owning storage pool, the QoS policy configured for the volume takes effect.
      • If the object of a QoS policy is a storage pool, the system configures the SmartQoS policy for each volume in the storage pool. For example, if Max. IOPS of the selected SmartQoS policy is set to 1000 and you add object storage pool StoragePool001, Max. IOPS of each volume in the storage pool is set to 1000.
