You can select a server, create volumes, attach them to the server, and then (optionally) protect the volumes.

Alternatively, you can create volumes separately and attach them to servers later. After attaching volumes to servers, you can select volumes to protect.

  1. To select volumes to protect, do one of the following:
    • Select a server, create volumes for the server, and attach the volumes to the server.
    • Select a server to view volumes already attached to the server. You can filter for unprotected volumes.
    • On the dashboard, click Storage Systems, then click a storage system tile, then click Volumes to open the Volumes window.
    • Open the detail window for any volume that is attached to a server.
  2. Select volumes and then click Protect Volumes and select Protect Volumes with Local Replication or Protect Volumes with High Availability.
  3. For local replication, choose a type of data replication, Clone Now or Snap.
    Note: The Clone Now method is available for volumes that are already existing and attached to a server. It is not available when the create-and-attach workflow is used to create, attach, and protect volumes in a single window.

    If you use the workflow provided to create, attach, and protect volumes, you can choose None as a data replication type to avoid protecting volumes.
