Managing logical storage

You can use Storage Manager to manage the logical storage such as storage virtual machines (SVMs), volumes, Qtrees, protocols, policies and so on.

  • Storage Virtual Machines
    You can use Storage Manager to manage the SVMs in your cluster.
  • Volumes
    You can use Storage Manager to create, edit, and delete volumes.
  • Junction Path
    You can use the Junction Path window in Storage Manager to mount or unmount FlexVol volumes to a junction in the SVM namespace.
  • 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 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.
  • Export policies
    You can use Storage Manager to create, edit, and manage export policies.
  • Efficiency policies
    You can use Storage Manager to create, edit, and delete efficiency policies.
  • Protection policies
    You can use Storage Manager to create, edit, and delete protection policies.
  • QoS policy groups
    You can use Storage Manager to create, edit, and delete QoS policy groups.
  • NIS services
    You can use Storage Manager to add, edit, and manage Network Information Service (NIS) domains.
  • 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.
  • Kerberos realm services
    You can use Storage Manager to create and manage Kerberos realm services.
  • Kerberos interface services
    You can use Storage Manager to manage Kerberos interface services.
  • DNS/DDNS Services
    You can use Storage Manager to manage DNS/DDNS services.
  • Users
    You can use Storage Manager to create and manage storage virtual machine (SVM) user accounts.
  • Roles
    You can use Storage Manager to create and manage roles.
  • UNIX
    You can use Storage Manager to maintain a list of local UNIX users and groups for each storage virtual machine (SVM) .
  • Windows
    You can use Storage Manager to create and manage Windows groups and user accounts.
  • Name mapping
    You can use Storage Manager to specify name mapping entries to map users from different platforms.
