Creating an NVMe namespace

You can use Storage Manager to create one or more NVMe namespaces and connect each to a host or set of hosts in a storage virtual machine (SVM). The NVMe namespace is a quantity of memory that can be formatted into logical blocks. Each namespace can be mapped to an NVMe subsystem.

Before you begin

The SVM must already be configured with the NVMe protocol. To map a namespace, at least one LIF with the data protocol NVMe must exist in the node that owns the namespace.

  1. Click Storage > NVMe namespaces.
  2. Click +Add.
  3. Specify the name in the provided list.
  4. Specify the number of namespaces to create and the capacity for the namespaces.
  5. Select the host operating system for the namespace and NVME subsystem to assign the namespace to.
  6. Click Save.
