Prerequisites:

  1. Make sure you have a Netgear ReadyNAS device connected to your network.

  3. You should have a basic understanding of NAS (Network Attached Storage) concepts.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Access the ReadyNAS Web Interface:
    • Open a web browser and type the IP address of your ReadyNAS device (usually http://192.168.1.100 or http://readydisk.local).
    • Log in with your admin username and password.
  2. Navigate to the Volumes Tab:
    • Click on the "Volumes" tab on the top menu bar.
  3. Click on "Create Volume":
    • Click on the "Create Volume" button.
  4. Choose the Volume Type:
    • Select the type of volume you want to create:
      • Standard Volume: A standard volume is a basic storage volume that can be used for storing files.
      • RAID Volume: A RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) volume is a more advanced storage volume that provides data redundancy and performance benefits.
      • iSCSI Volume: An iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface) volume is a storage volume that can be used for virtualization and other advanced storage applications.
  5. Configure the Volume Settings:
    • Enter a name for the volume (e.g., "MyNewVolume").
    • Choose the disk(s) you want to use for the volume. You can select multiple disks to create a RAID volume.
    • Set the volume size (in GB or TB).
    • Choose the file system type (e.g., ext4, NTFS, or HFS+).
    • Set the permissions and access controls for the volume.
  6. Create the Volume:

  2. Access the New Volume:
    • You can now access the new volume by navigating to the "Shares" tab and clicking on the new volume.

That's it! You have successfully created a new volume on your Netgear ReadyNAS device.
