Accessing Storage Configuration Settings​

You’ll see the storage configuration page immediately after creating any storage resource.

You can also access configuration settings from the Lustre, NFS, Disks, or Buckets page. Click the name of any existing storage resource to configure it.

About the Storage Configuration Page​

When you navigate to the storage configuration page, there are five tabs for customization.

Sessions​

By default, you’ll see the Sessions tab when you navigate to storage settings. This tab shows your previous sessions for using the storage as well as provision and deletion logs.

About Storage Provisioning Logs

For persistent storage resources, you can see the creation and deletion logs in this tab. All logs for current and previous sessions will be displayed. If a persistent storage resource is active, you’ll see all the clusters that the storage is attached to.

Ephemeral storage resources do not have a Sessions page. Instead, you can see their creation logs by navigating to Resources > ResourceName > Sessions > Logs > Storages.

For more information about persistent and ephemeral storage, please see Storage Types.

Definition​

Here, you can adjust the configuration parameters of your storage. For more information, see General Settings below.

JSON​

This tab shows the code version of your storage configuration settings. Here, you can manually adjust the parameters seen in the Definition tab.

Properties​

This tab shows the name that you entered when the storage was created. Here, you can change the name and upload a new thumbnail for the cluster.
