Volume templates

A volume template is a logical resource that enables you to create a standard configuration from which you can create or update multiple volumes.

Require template for volume creation

This option prevents volumes from being created without using a volume template. You can still add external volumes without using a template.

Provisioning

You can set the provisioning type for the volume:
  • Full

  • Thin

    Enable deduplication

    You can enable deduplication on volumes that are thin provisioned and meet the storage system requirements.

    Enable compression

    You can enable compression on volumes that are thin provisioned and meet the storage system requirements.
