storage_group --add --name <name> [--compression_mode <fast|best>]

Description

Adds a new storage group to the QoreStor with the name specified by the --name command option.

NOTE: When adding a name, valid values for the name are (a-z, A-Z, 0–9, ‘_’, and ‘_’)

NOTE: Do not change the chunk_type parameter from the default setting unless directed to do so by Quest Support.

You can also set the compression mode for the storage group as fast or best, described as follows:

  • Fast — Results in shorter backup time, but with less space savings.
  • Best — Provides the highest space savings, but with a longer backup time.

Syntax

storage_group --add --name StorageGroup_1 --compression_mode best

Result

Storage Group "StorageGroup_1" created successfully.
