Before a file system is created, at least one NAS server must exist on the storage system.
Optionally, Snapshot Schedule can be selected with the Pause Snapshot creation option.
If Snapshot Schedule is selected and Pause Snapshot creation is not checked, the
EMC Unity system creates snapshots on the file system at the frequency
configured on the snapshot schedule.
Input Format:
- EMC Unity Account Name: podName@AccountName. For example: Vblock@Unity_Hybrid.
- EMC Unity NAS Server: podName@accountName@spName@spid@storagePoolName@storagePoolid@nasServerName@nasServerID. For example: Default Pod@EmcUnity@SP A@spa@Pool0@Pool_7@TestNAS@nas_4.
- Protocol: Configure the protocols the file system supports.
- Name: A valid name. The following 19 special characters are not allowed in the file system name: " % & ' * + . / \ : ; < = > ? ^ @ | ,
- Description: A description of the file system.
- Storage Pool: PodName@accountName@storagePoolName@storagePoolId. For example: Vblock@Unity_Hybrid@Pool1@pool_7.
- Size: Size of the File System. Minimum file system capacity is 3 GB.
- Capacity Units: The unit for the size of the file system: GB, MB, or TB.
- Thin: Check to enable thin provisioning for file system.
- Snapshot Schedule: Select the schedule to associate to the file system. The snapshot schedule contains schedule settings for the file system.
- Snapshot Schedule Paused: Check to indicate that the snapshot schedule is paused.
