Chapter 4 Managing Volumes This chapter describes how to manage volumes on an xStack Storage. A volume is a set of storage blocks organized and presented for use by a customer's server (an iSCSI initiator node). The iSCSI initiator node sees the volume as a contiguous series of numbered blocks, called Virtual Logical Block Numbers (VLBNs), in the same way that it would see the storage space on a single disk drive. The xStack Storage builds a volume from extents. A volume typically consists of extents from several drives. Volumes are managed in the Volume View. Volume View is the initial view that appears when you log in to the xStack Storage Management Center. If you are in a different console view, you can display the Volume View by performing any of the following steps: Clicking Volume on the View menu. Clicking an xStack Storage IP address in the View panel. Clicking the Volume View button on the toolbar: The topics covered in this chapter are: Section 4.1, Understanding the Volume View Section 4.2, Creating Volumes Section 4.3, Performing Volume Actions Section 4.4, Using the Detail Tabs Section 4.5 Removing iSCSI Initiators xStack Storage Management Center Software User's Guide 35
