Refer to the QoreStor Command Line Reference Guide for more information.

Managing storage groups and containers

To organize your data, you can easily create storage groups and create containers within those storage groups on your QoreStor system. A storage group allows you to create separate storage policies for different data groups and the different capacities utilized on a single QoreStor. After initialization, QoreStor contains a single default storage groupe named DefaultGroup.

In QoreStor, data is stored in containers, which are stored in storage groups. Some containers function like a shared file system. These types of containers can be assigned a specific connection type, for example, NFS/CIFS or RDA (including both OST and RDS clients). Containers can then be accessed using NFS, CIFS, or RDA.

 
* 
IMPORTANT: For the most beneficial integration with vRanger, an RDA connection should be used.
Creating a storage container
* 
NOTE: QoreStor does not support creating container names that begin with a 0 (zero).

Containers function like a shared file system that can be accessed using the following connection types:

•
NFS/CIFS

NFS
•
CIFS
•
RDA
•
RDS
Creating an RDS connection type container
To create an OST or RDS connection type container, follow these steps:
1
On the navigation menu, click Storage Groups, and then select the storage group for which you want to create a container. (If you are only using the DefaultGroup storage group on your QoreStor system, you do not need to select a group.)
2
In the storage group list, click the storage group to which you want to add a container. Click Add Container.
3
For the container Name, type the name of the container, and then click Next.
Container names cannot exceed 32 characters in length, must start with a letter, and can be composed of any combination of the following characters: l
•
A-Z (uppercase letters)
•
a-z (lowercase letters) l
•
0-9 (numbers). Do not start a container name with a number. l
•
dash (-) or underscore (_) special characters
* 
IMPORTANT: QoreStor does not support creating container names that begin with a 0 (zero) or that include the following special characters /, #, or @.
