Create a Volume on the ReadyDATA
Once we have the network side of things taken care of the next step will be to create an NFS data set on the ReadyDATA.
The first step to doing this is to (if you haven’t already) create a volume on the ReadyDATA.
The first step to doing this is to (if you haven’t already) create a volume on the ReadyDATA.
Note: In order to preserve your settings, you must create at least one volume on the ReadyDATA.
We highly recommend RAID10 in virtualization deployments as this type of workload is random I/O intensive. It is also
recommended to have fewer large volumes, rather than many small volumes. The reason for this is that sharing I/O across
volumes is not possible.

In this example we are going to configure one large volume in RAID10. SAS drives are strongly recommended for
virtualization, while hybrid disk configurations (SSD + SATA) can be used when performance requirements are lower.
RAID10 should always be used for virtualization deployments.

To create a volume:
Login to the ReadyDATA GUI and go to
System -> Storage. You will see a graphical representation of the
ReadyDATA system and populated drives at the middle-top of this page.
Click on the drives you wish to create the new volume with and click on the
New Volume button.
