Create a New File Volume
You create file volumes by allocating space from a logical drive. Logical
drives on the HP NetStorage 6000 are divided into a maximum of four
partitions. Whenever you create a file volume, it uses one partition on one
logical drive.
To create a new file volume:
1 Using the NetStorage web interface, click the Storage tab, then select
Logical Drives.
2 Click Actions, then select Create File Volume.
3 Enter a new file volume name in the space provided.
4 Select a partition to use from the pull down menu.
5 Enter desired file volume size (MB) in the space provided.
6 Click OK.
A progress bar displays while the new volume is formatted.
