Managing Shares using GUI

To manage your share, use the Shares page at CHI@UC or CHI@TACC by navigating to Project > Share > Shares.

The Shares page

Create Share

Click the Create Share button. In the Create Share dialog, provide a name and the size of your share, and then click the Create button to create a share.

The Create Share dialog

Note

A storage network is not required for creating shares. It’s only required to access the shares.

View Share

You can look at the details of a share by clicking the share name in the Shares page. Note that the paths of the export locations are important as you will use this path to mount your share to your bare metal instances. You can also see the other properties, such as visibility and size. The access rules are listed in the share details page, though you can not edit the rules, as they are controlled by the reservation service.

The Share details

Edit Share

You can manage the properties and extend the size of a share by clicking the Action dropdown in the Shares page.

The Action dropdown

Delete Share

You can use the Action dropdown to delete a single share, or select multiple shares and click the Delete Shares button.

Important

Be careful when deleting shares, as the action is irreversible. However, the termination of your storage network reservation DOES NOT delete your share. Your shares persist until you manually delete them.
