Volumes a RAID or the volume. To reconfigure the antivirus software, click Configure eTrust Antivirus. To reactivate Snap EDR functionality after creating a new volume, download the Snap EDR package from the SnapServer web site and install it on the server using the OS Update feature. Then click the Snap EDR link in the Site Map (under Extras) and click the Start button. Note If the volume on which the NVDB directory, antivirus software, or Snap EDR resides is deleted, the system attempts to move the items to another volume with the most available space. If no other volumes are available, the items are automatically disabled. Note If you delete a volume, you will also delete any iSCSI disks that reside on that volume. Expanding Volume Capacity A volume's capacity can be expanded by navigating to the Storage > Volumes screen and clicking the name of a volume. There are two ways to expand the size of a volume: • Adding Unallocated Capacity - If there is unallocated capacity remaining on the RAID, you can add this capacity to the volume by editing the Volume size field or clicking the Grow to Max. Size button, and then clicking OK. • Creating a New RAID - If all capacity on the RAID is allocated, and either: (1) a sufficient number of drives to create a new RAID exists, or (2) a RAID of the same type with excess capacity exists, the Expand Volume button appears. Click this button to create an additional RAID, group the RAID with the existing RAID, and expand the volume into the space on the new RAID. Note If you expand the volume onto an existing RAID with existing volumes, those volumes will be preserved and the expanded volume will only consume the free space on the RAID. A volume can be expanded up to 16 TBs, either as a standalone volume or as a volume group. Security Models, SnapTrees, and Volumes Volumes are created with the Windows security model (which can be changed in the Securities > SnapTrees page or when creating a share to point to the volume root). Directories created in the root of a volume (aka SnapTree directories) in the Web UI are automatically assigned either a Windows- or a UNIX-style security model, based on the security model of the parent volume (this can also be subsequently changed in the SnapTrees page or when creating a share pointing to Chapter 4 Storage Configuration and Expansion 57

To reactivate Snap EDR functionality after creating a new volume, download the

Snap EDR package from the SnapServer web site and install it on the server using

the OS Update feature. Then click the

Snap EDR

link in the Site Map (under Extras)

and click the

Note

If the volume on which the NVDB directory,

antivirus software, or Snap EDR

resides is deleted, the system attempts to move the items to another volume with

the most available space. If no other volumes are available, the items are

automatically disabled.

Note

If you delete a volume, you will also delete any iSCSI disks that reside on that

volume.

Expanding Volume Capacity

A volume’s capacity can be expanded by navigating to the

Storage > Volumes

screen

and clicking the name of a volume. There are two ways to expand the size of a

volume:

•

Adding Unallocated Capacity —

If there is unallocated capacity remaining on the

RAID, you can add this capacity to the volume by editing the Volume size field

or clicking the

Grow to Max. Size

button, and then clicking

•

Creating a New RAID —

If all capacity on the RAID is allocated, and either: (1) a

sufficient number of drives to create a new RAID exists, or (2) a RAID of the same

type with excess capacity exists, the

Expand Volume

button appears. Click this

button to create an additional RAID, group the RAID with the existing RAID, and

expand the volume into the space on the new RAID.

Note

If you expand the volume onto an existing RAID with existing volumes,

those volumes will be preserved and the expanded volume will only consume

the free space on the RAID.

A volume can be expanded up to 16 TBs, either as a standalone volume or as a

volume group.

Security Models, SnapTrees, and Volumes

Volumes are created with the Windows security model (which can be changed in

the

Securities > SnapTrees

page or when creating a share to point to the volume

root). Directories created in the root of a volume (aka SnapTree directories) in the

Web UI are automatically assigned either a Windows- or a UNIX-style security

model, based on the security model of the parent volume (this can also be

subsequently changed in the SnapTrees page or when creating a share pointing to
