Adding a Volume

As your application needs grow, you might need to add more volumes to your gateway. As you add more volumes, you must consider the size of the cache storage and upload buffer you allocated to the gateway. The gateway must have sufficient buffer and cache space for new volumes. For more information, see Determining the size of upload buffer to allocate.

You can add volumes using the Storage Gateway console or Storage Gateway API. For information on using the Storage Gateway API to add volumes, see CreateCachediSCSIVolume. For instructions on how to add a volume using the Storage Gateway console, see Creating a volume.
