Creating a Network Storage node

Using the Lumen® Network Storage portal, you can create nodes for your service. After creating a node, you can then create volumes for the node.

To create a Network Storage node:

  1. Click Create Node.
Create Node
  1. Type a name for the node in the Alias field.

  2. Select the storage location you want to use from the Location list.

  3. Select which network subnet to assign to the storage node from the Network list.

  4. Select the bare metal instance to be used with the storage node from the Hosts lists.

  5. Select whether this node will allow creation of volumes using the NFS protocol, ISCSI protocol, or both. The Access Protocols setting can be changed later by editing the node. You must have already created at least one other node in the online status in order to use peer options.

  6. Select whether you want to create a peer node. If you select the Yes radio button, select the checkbox next to the peer option you want to use. 
  1. Click Create Node.

    The Network Storage portal creates the node and lists it with any other nodes for your organization. You can now view details for the node or create volumes for the node.
