Create Multiple Volumes Simultaneously Using Single-Step Dialog
If you need to create many volumes, you can streamline the process by creating multiple volumes at a time.
1 If the Storage Manager Client is connected to a Data Collector, select a Storage Center from the Storage view.
2 Click the Storage tab.
3 In the Storage tab navigation pane, select Volumes.
4 In the right pane, click Create Multiple Volumes. The Create Volume dialog box opens.
5 Use the Create Volume dialog box to congure the base volume parameters.
a In the Volume Count eld, type the number of volumes to create.
b In the Base Volume Name eld, type a base name for the volumes. Each volume is named with a combination of the base name
and the volume number.
c In the Size eld, type a size for the volumes in kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB), or terabytes (TB).
NOTE
: A volume with a congured size greater than half the supported maximum volume size, as dened in the
Storage Center Release Notes, does not support view volumes.
d In the Volume Folder pane, select the parent folder for the volumes.
e In the Notes eld, type any notes you want to associate with these volumes.
f (Optional) Congure the remaining volume attributes as needed.
• To schedule snapshot creation and expiration for the volume, apply one or more Snapshot Proles by clicking Change across
from Snapshot Proles.
• To map the volume to a server, click Change across from Server.
• If Chargeback is enabled, select the department to charge for storage costs associated with the volume by clicking Change
across from Chargeback Department.

Reduction on the volume.
• To use specic disk tiers and RAID levels for volume data, select the appropriate Storage Prole from the Storage Prole
drop-down menu. Using the Recommended Storage Prole allows the volume to take full advantage of data progression.

Storage Type drop-down menu.

list, and click OK.
