Changing User Volume Defaults
Changing User Volume Defaults
By default, Storage Profiles are applied automatically and do not appear in the System
Manager. To select Storage Profiles, you must first change User Volume Defaults. User
Volume defaults can be changed for:
•
You (the current user).
•
Other current Administrative or Volume Manager users who are not logged in.
•
New users. As new users are created, volume defaults are automatically applied.
Advanced Volume Defaults are the same whether you are setting Volume Defaults for
yourself, other users, or new users.
Volume defaults determine options for creating volumes. Configuring volume defaults
requires Administrative privileges. Subsequent volumes will be created with these defaults.
Existing volumes are not affected.
To manually configure storage profiles when creating volumes
1 From the Storage Management menu, choose Volume > Configure My Volume
Defaults. The Configure User Volume Defaults window appears.
2 Make sure Allow User to Modify Preferences is checked.
3 Click the Advanced tab. The Advanced Volume Defaults window appears.
Note
If Data Progression is not licensed, the Recommended Profile is not displayed as a
choice.
4 Select a Storage Profile that will be used by default when you create a volume. (A
default profile can be overridden by choosing a different profile when you create a
volume.) If you or another user manually create unique Storage Profiles, those profiles
appear as options for creating volumes in the Advanced User Volume Default window.
5 Click OK. User volume defaults are set.
Although volumes will be created with the default profile you select in the User Volume
Default window, if you allow this user to select a Storage Profile, a list of available profiles
appears in the menu tree. Storage Profiles appear only for users whose User Volume
Defaults allow them to select a Storage Profile. If a user is not allowed to select a Storage
Profile, System Manager applies the default Storage Profile to all new volumes.
