Creating a Network Storage node

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

To create a Network Storage node:

  1. Click Services.

    Control Center shows the Services console. Use the console to access an inventory of your services, check the status of orders, and manage your services.

  1. In the Edge Services box, click Network Storage.

    Control Center shows a list of storage nodes for your organization (if any) with the name, location status, and total provisioned storage for each node.

Create Node
  1. In the Alias field, type a name for the node.
  1. From the Location list, select the storage location you want to use.
  1. From the Network list, select which network subnet to assign to the storage node.
  1. From the Hosts lists, select the bare metal instance to be used with the storage node.
  1. Select whether this node will allow creation of volumes using the NFS protocol, ISCSI protocol, or both.
  1. In the Create Peer Node field, 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. (To use the peering option, you must have at least one other node in Online status.)
  1. Click CREATE NODE.

    Control Center creates the node and lists it (in Configuring status) with any other nodes for your organization. You can now view details for the node or create volumes for the node.
