Step 1. General
1. In the General group box:
a. Name - Enter a new name for the volume.
b. Comments - Enter any notes about the volume.
2. In the User Space group box:
a. Size - Enter the size of the volume. Change the Size list value to MiB or TiB as
applicable. The default is GiB.
Note: Minimum permitted volume size is 256MiB, maximum is 16TiB.
b. If the volume is Fully Provisioned from PDs:
i. Device Type - Select FC for Fibre Channel drives, NL for Nearline drives, or
SSD for Solid State drives.
ii. Device Speed - Select the appropriate speed or <default>.
Note: The Device Speed number does not represent a rotational
speed for the drives without spinning media (SSD). It is meant as a
rough estimation of the performance difference between the drive and
the other drives in the system. For FC and NL drives, the number
corresponds to both a performance measure and actual rotational speed.
For an SSD drive, the number is to be treated as relative performance
benchmark that takes into account in I/O per second, bandwidth, and
the access time.
iii. RAID Type - Select the appropriate RAID type for the volume.
iv. Set Size - Select the appropriate set size.
