18.8 Modifying Attributes of an NSS Volume

After you set up and configure NSS volumes, you can modify most of the attribute settings. The Encrypted Volume Support attribute and the Compression attribute can be set only at the time the volume is created. If you try to modify those settings, iManager or NSSMU returns an error message.

You can also specify a Volume Quota or modify the mount point.

  1. In iManager, click Storage > Volumes.

    For instructions, see Section 9.1.5, Accessing Roles and Tasks in iManager.

  2. Select a server to manage.

    For instructions, see Section 9.1.6, Selecting a Server to Manage.

  3. In the Volumes list, select a volume that you want manage.

  4. Click Properties.

    The Properties page has three tabs: Attributes, Statistics, and Quota Usage. Use the Attributes page to view or modify the attributes for the selected volume.

  5. Do one or more of the following:

    • Select or deselect a modifiable attribute, then click Apply.

      The Encryption and Compression attributes can be set only at the time the volume is created. If you try to modify those settings, iManager returns an error message.

      For information about attributes, see Section 18.1, Understanding Volume Properties.

    • Specify a volume quota, then click Apply.

    • Specify the default Lookup Namespace to use when mounting the volume, then click Apply.

      The next time the volume is mounted, this will be the name space used. The default name space is Long.

    • Specify a new Mount Point for your volume, then click Apply. For example:

      /media/nss/VOL1
  6. If you enabled or disabled the Directory Quotas attribute, restart NCP2NSS by entering at a terminal prompt:

    /etc/init.d/ncp2nss restart

For information about setting quotas after you have enabled the Directory Quotas attribute or User Space Quotas attribute, see Managing Space Quotas for Volumes, Directories, and Users.
