Changing Advanced Volume Settings

If your SAN volume has special configuration requirements, you can change the
standard volume settings when you create a volume. You can also change these
settings for an existing volume, with the exception of the block allocation size and
disabling the extended attributes option. (Once enabled, extended attributes can’t be
disabled.)

Note: To change a volume’s block allocation size or disable extended attributes,
you must destroy and recreate the volume.

To view or change volume settings:
Select Volume in the SAN Assets list, select the volume in the list, and choose Edit

m

Volume Settings from the Action (gear) pop-up menu.

The following sections contain information about each setting.
