Administrator Guide

• You cannot set a template volume to read-write permission.
To modify a volume permission:

2. Expand Volumes and then select the volume name.
3. In the Activities panel, click Set access type.
4. Change the permission in the Set access type dialog box.
5. (Optional) Select the Allow simultaneous connections from initiators with dierent IQNs checkbox.

Modify a Volume Alias
An alias can help administrators identify a volume. For example, some iSCSI initiators display the volume alias in addition to the iSCSI
target name.
The following constraints apply:
• When you create a volume, it has an alias only if the groupwide default is to use the volume name as the alias. Otherwise, the
volume does not have an alias.
• A volume alias is a name. Name can be up to 63 bytes and is case-insensitive. You can use any printable Unicode character
except for ! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , / ; < = > ?@ [ \ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~. First and last characters cannot be a period, hyphen, or colon.
Fewer characters are accepted for this eld if you type the value as a Unicode character string, which takes up a variable
number of bytes, depending on the specic character.
To modify a volume alias:
1. Click Volumes.
2. Expand Volumes and then select the volume name.
3. Click Modify settings.
4. Click the Advanced tab to open the Modify Volume Settings – Advanced dialog box.
5. Specify a volume alias in the Public alias eld.
6. Click OK.
Modify the Administrator for a Volume
You can modify the administrator for a volume only if the group has more than one group administrator (grpadmin).
To create another administrator for a group, see Create a Local Administration Account.
To control which administrators have access to a volume:
1. Click Volumes.
2. Expand Volumes and then select the volume name.
3. Click Modify settings.
4. Click the General tab to open the Modify Volume Settings – General dialog box.
5. In the Volume administrator eld, change the name of the administrator or select none.
6. Click OK.
About Smart Tags
Smart tags provide a mechanism for PS group administrators to organize, search, and lter the volumes in their groups. Volumes can
be tagged with new or predened tags, and a volume can have more than one tag associated to it. This feature makes it easier for
the group administrator to manage a group with a large number of volumes.
Smart tags can be either simple tags or extended tags:
