You can create volumes from a pool. By enabling capacity saving (deduplication and compression), you can reduce the amount of data stored, depending on the characteristics of the data.
- Ensure that a pool is available.
- You must have the Storage Administrator (Provisioning) role.
-
Specify the required information.
- Pool
- Whether the capacity saving setting is specified
- Whether to share data reduction with snapshots
- Capacity
- Number of volumes
- Volume name
When Deduplication and Compression or Compression is specified for CAPACITY SAVING, specify Apply to snapshot for DATA REDUCTION SHARE.
When Disabled is specified for CAPACITY SAVING, Apply to snapshot is automatically set for DATA REDUCTION SHARE.
For the name of a volume, specify a name that is a combination of Volume Name and a number beginning with Suffix Start Number (optional).
For example, if you specify "volume" for Volume Name, "7" for Suffix Start Number, and "2" for Number of Digits, the volume name will be "Volume07".
The volume are displayed in the inventory of volumes.
