Configuring your Storage Creating a Volume 4 enter in this field due to filesystem overhead. The minimum volume size is 32 MB. Volume sizes are rounded down to the nearest 32 MB increment. NOTE: Once the volume is created, you can expand the volume but you cannot reduce its size. STEP 3 To encrypt the volume, select Encrypted. To create an unencrypted volume, go to step 6. NOTE: You can encrypt the volume only when the volume is first created. After a volume is created, you cannot change whether it is encrypted or unencrypted. File transfer performance to encrypted volumes is generally lower than to non-encrypted volumes. STEP 4 Enter a password in the Password field. The password must be entered to unlock an encrypted volume when the NSS is started up following a power interruption, shutdown, or rebooted, or, if the volume was manually locked through the NSS configuration interface. The password can be any alphanumeric characters (with the exception of the ";" |", and "&"). It cannot contain any spaces and must be a minimum of one character (no maximum). CAUTION: Because you need the password to ! decrypt a locked volume, keep a secure backup of the password to ensure that it is accessible when required. There is no way to unlock the volume without the password. (If the password is forgotten, the only way to unlock the volume is if a known password was saved in a configuration file. You can then restore the configuration, and then use that password to unlock the volume. See Restoring the Configuration for help on this.) STEP 5 Re-enter the password in the Confirm Password field. STEP 6 Click Add. Cisco Small Business NSS2000 Series Administration Guide 56
