+<h1>Adding Bricks</h1>
+You can expand a volume, as required, by adding new bricks to an existing volume. To add a brick to an existing volume, perform the following steps.

+volume, two (or multiples of two) bricks to replicated
+volumes, and four (or multiples of four) bricks to striped
+volumes when expanding your storage space.
+<p>To add a brick to an existing volume, perform the following
+steps.</p>

+<h1>Creating a Volume</h1>
+You can create new volumes in your storage environment, as needed. When creating a new volume, you must specify the bricks that comprise the volume and specify whether the volume is to be distributed, replicated, or striped.

+ You can choose the type as either <b>Distribute</b>, <b>Replicate</b>,
+ or <b>Stripe</b>.
+ <li>Bricks will be created on all the disks of the cluster when
+ you create a volume, by default. Click <b>Customize</b>, to select and add
+ specific bricks to your volume.
+ <li>Select the <b>Access Protocol</b> for the new volume by selecting <b>GlusterFS</b>, <b>NFS</b>, or <b>CIFS</b> checkbox.
+ <li>If you choose <b>CIFS</b>, specify the user name and password to use
+ from Windows clients to connect to the volume.
+ <p>You need to use user-based authentication for CIFS exports,
+ hence you must specify the user&rsquo;s who can access the volume as a
+ comma-separated list in the Users field.
+
+ <p>For more information about configuring CIFS, refer <a href="cifs_service.html">CIFS
+ Services</a>.<li>In the<b> Allow Access From</b> field, specify the volume access control as a comma-separated list of IP addresses or hostnames.
+ <p>You can use wildcards to specify ranges of addresses. Typing an asterisk (*) specifies all IP addresses or hostnames. You need to use IP-based authentication for Gluster Filesystem and NFS exports.</p>
+ <li>Select the <b>Start Volume</b> check box to automatically start the
+ volume once created.
+ <li>Click <b>Create Volume</b>. The console displays Create Volume window
+ to indicate that the volume was successfully created.

+You can migrate bricks, that is, move data from one brick to another within your cluster. You might want to do this, for example, when upgrading a disk to another with a larger capacity.
+</p>
+<p>When migrating a disk, the Gluster Management Console allows you to select both the source and destination bricks. After initiating a disk migration, the <b>Task</b> tab displays the status of the migration. You can stop, pause, resume, or commit the migration by selecting the appropriate icon from the toolbar.</p>
+<p>To migrate volume data from one brick to another, perform the following steps.</p>
+<ol>
+<li>Select <b>Migrate Bricks</b> by choosing from the menu, toolbar, or right click when you select the volume.
+<p>The <b>Migrate Brick</b> window is displayed.</p>

+<h1>Creating Volumes to Simplify Administration</h1>
+A volume is a logical collection of bricks where each brick is an export directory on a server in the trusted storage pool. Most of the gluster management operations happen on the volume.
+
+You can create new volumes in your storage environment, as needed. When creating a new volume, you must specify the bricks that comprise the volume.
+<p><b>Assigning Volume Names</b></p>
+
+<p>You can name your volumes anything you choose, subject to a few restrictions:
+<ul>
+<li>Volume names can be up to ?? characters in length. The maximum length for volume names is 32 characters.
+ <p>It is best to assign volume names that indicate the type of data they contain, and to use similar names for volumes with similar contents. It is also helpful if the volume name is similar to (or at least has elements in common with) the name of the directory at which it is mounted. Understanding the pattern then enables you accurately to guess what a volume contains and where it is mounted.</p>
+</ul>
+<p><b>Types of Volumes</b></p>
+<p>Volumes of the following types can be created in your storage environment:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Plain Distributed - Distributes files throughout the bricks in the volume.
+<li>Distributed Striped - Distributes data across striped bricks in the volume.
+<li>Distributed Mirror - Creates a mirrored volume with all files replicated. <p><b>Note:</b> You must have at least two servers to activate this feature.</p></ul>
+<p>This section describes the various talks enabling you to manage your volumes on the storage cluster:
+<ul>
+<li>Create a new volume (featuring a single global namespace)
+<li>Start a volume that is currently stopped
+<li>Stop a volume that is currently running
+<li>Delete a volume from your storage environment
+
+</ul>
