Creating additional tenant storage shares
By default, there is only one tenant storage share (Share01). This share is approximately 220 GB, and is used for any Patch and Update
packages that are applied to the solution.
You can deploy additional tenant shares as needed, depending on anticipated usage and types of workloads. To create an additional tenant
share:
1 Create a script similar to the following sample and save it to \\<prex>S6\C$\Dell\Scripts. The values for $VolumeFriendlyName,
$SSDSize, and $HDDSize listed under “# Input Parameters” may need to be changed to reect the needs of your environment.
Dell recommends that the total share size (inclusive of both SSD and HDD) be 10TB or less.
WARNING: Each of the following segments of code set o by “Begin – Long Line” and “End – Long Line” are
continuous lines of code that have been wrapped to t in this document. Each should be a single line in the script that
you save and run. Also, note that the phrase "Physical Disk" contains a space between these two words.
