Table 6-1. User Access Parameters
NAS Volumes
A NAS volume is a subset of the storage pool, with specific policies
controlling its space allocation, data protection, and security style.
NAS volumes can be created and configured. Administrators can either create
one large NAS volume consuming the entire NAS Pool or multiple NAS
volumes. In either case you can create, resize, or delete these NAS volumes.
This section describes how an administrator allocates and deploys NX3500
storage using NAS volumes. In order to make NAS volumes available to users,
they must be shared (exported) separately. Users need to specifically mount
each share.
