From either the Available list or the Selected list, select an access policy or policy group and click Edit to change it. Shortcut Key None None Step 4: Sector Size Field Description Shortcut Key You can create volumes that use either 512-byte or 4KB sectors. The sector size of a volume has no dependency on the sector size of the physical drives in the array. The default volume setting of 512 bytes is almost always optimal, even if the physical drives use 4KB sectors. 512 bytes: Alt+5 Sector Size If you create a volume that uses 4KB sectors, first verify that your operating system supports 4KB sectors. Refer to the 4KB: Alt+4 documentation for your operating system for information about whether 4KB sectors are supported. After you have created a volume, you cannot change its sector size. Step 5: Summary This page lets you review the settings that will be applied to the new volume. Some of these are the settings you just specified in the wizard and others are set as defaults in the software. Review these settings before you click Finish and create the volume.

Each volume appears on the network as an iSCSI target.
