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.
