Item Description
Description An optional description to help identify the share.
Logbias Change the logbias setting by making a selection from the Logbias drop-down list:
• Latency. Data requests are handled at high priority with a minimum of delay, but
data throughput might not be optimum. This is the default setting that is
automatically assigned when you create a share.
• Throughput. Data requests are handled with high data throughput, but there
might be delay in response to requests.
Compression Select the Compression check box to enable data compression. Compression saves
storage space and increases the speed of data transfers, but the compression and
decompression processes require additional resources.
Dedupe Select the Dedupe check box to enable deduplication, which prevents storage of
redundant data on the share. Unique data is stored only once on the share, and other
instances of the identical data are removed and replaced by a pointer to the unique
data. This storage method saves storage space and increases the speed of data
transfers.
Size You can increase the quota or reservation of an existing share without affecting or
disconnecting any users. Expansion is instant, regardless of the data size.

enter the size of the storage
space that is available to the
share.
Select the Reserve check box to

Select the Smart Snapshot Management check box to enable
automatic snapshot pruning. When enabled, this feature deletes older
hourly and daily snapshots so that hourly snapshots are kept for 48
hours, weekly snapshots are kept for 8 weeks, and monthly snapshots
are kept indefinitely.
Note: For shares or LUNs that were created before the release of this
feature, Smart Snapshot Management is disabled by default.
The interval specifies how often a snapshot is made. Make a selection
from the drop-down list:
• Hourly. A snapshot is taken every hour on the hour.
• Daily. A snapshot is taken every day at midnight. This is the
default setting.
• Weekly. A snapshot is taken every week on Friday at midnight.
