Quick Links

The Quick Links page provides links to some of the frequently performed operations, such as creating volumes, shares, and LUNs. You can also configure protocols that are allowed on the Storage Virtual Machine (SVM) if you have not already done so while creating the SVM.

Protocols

Displays the protocols that are allowed on this SVM. You can click the protocol link to configure it.

Note: If the FCP service is already started for the SVM, clicking the FC link and the FCoE link opens the Network Interfaces window.

The color indicates the status of the protocol configuration:

Status

Description

Green

LIFs exist and the protocol is configured.

You can click the link to view the configuration details.

Note: Configuration might be partially completed. However, service is running. You can create the LIFs and complete the configuration from the Network Interfaces page.

Yellow

•	LIFs exist. Service is created but is not running.

•	LIFs exist. Service is not created.

•	Service is created. LIFs do not exist.

Grey

The protocol is not configured. You can click the protocol link to configure the protocol.

Grey border

The protocol license has expired or is missing. You can click the protocol link to add the licenses in the Licenses page.

Create Volume

Opens the Create Volume dialog box.

This option is not enabled if an Infinite Volume already exists.

Create Share

Opens the Create Share dialog box. You can create a share only if the CIFS service is configured and running.

Note: This link is displayed only if the CIFS license is enabled on the cluster.

Create LUN

Opens the Create LUN wizard. You can create LUNs for an existing aggregate, volume, or qtree when free space is available.

Note: This link is displayed only if the iSCSI or FC license is enabled on the cluster.

Network Interfaces

Opens the Network Interfaces page, which you can use to view a list of network interfaces and create, edit, or delete interfaces from your SVM.

Windows Local Users and Groups

Opens the Windows page, which you can use to maintain a list of local Windows users and groups for the SVM if the CIFS service is configured and running.

Note: This link is displayed only if the CIFS license is enabled on the cluster.

Unix Local Users and Groups

Opens the Unix page, which you can use to maintain a list of local UNIX users and groups for the SVM.

Note: This link is displayed only if the NFS license is enabled on the cluster.

Storage

Opens the Storage navigation page.

Policies

Opens the Policies navigation page.

Protection

Opens the Protection page.

Note: This link is displayed only if the SnapMirror license or the SnapVault license is enabled on the cluster.

Configuration

Opens the Configuration navigation page.
