Managing logical storage

You can use Storage Manager to manage the logical storage such as storage virtual machines (SVMs), volumes, tiers, and applications.

  • Storage Virtual Machines
    You can use Storage Manager to manage the SVMs in your cluster.
  • Creating a consistency group
    Starting from ONTAP 9.10.1, you can create a consistency group directly from Storage Manager.
  • Volumes
    You can use Storage Manager to create, edit, and delete volumes.
  • Shares
    You can use Storage Manager to create, edit, and manage shares.
  • LUNs
    You can use Storage Manager to manage LUNs.
  • Qtrees
    You can use Storage Manager create, edit, and delete Qtrees.
  • Quotas
    You can use Storage Manager to create, edit, and delete quotas.
  • CIFS protocol
    You can use Storage Manager to enable and configure CIFS servers to allow CIFS clients to access files on the cluster.
  • NFS protocol
    You can use Storage Manager to authenticate NFS clients to access data on the SVM.
  • NVMe protocol
    You can use Storage Manager to configure the NVMe protocol. The NVMe is a transport protocol that provides high speed access to flash-based network storage. Systems that use NVMe protocol have a subsystem consisting of specific NVME controllers, namespaces, nonvolatile storage medium, hosts, ports and interface between the controller and storage medium.
  • iSCSI protocol
    You can use Storage Manager to configure the iSCSI protocol that enables you to transfer block data to hosts using SCSI protocol over TCP/IP.
  • FC/FCoE protocol
    You can use Storage Manager to configure FC/FCoE protocols.
  • Adding a bucket for your ONTAP S3 SVM
    You can add a bucket once you have configured your ONTAP S3 SVM. The bucket is the physical device used to service object data to your clients or other ONTAP devices.
  • Export policies
    You can use Storage Manager to create, edit, and manage export policies.
  • QoS policy groups
    You can use Storage Manager to create, edit, and delete QoS policy groups.
  • LDAP client services
    You can use Storage Manager to add, edit, and delete LDAP client configurations.
  • LDAP configuration services
    You can use Storage Manager to manage LDAP configurations.
  • DNS Services
    You can use Storage Manager to manage DNS services.
