6.5 Manage shares (prepare logical device for service)
By default, all logical devices are unformatted and not yet visible to either iSCSI or
NAS services. The manage share menu is used to prepare a logical device for one or
more of these services (iSCSI, NFS or SMB). The manage share will display a menu
for each logical device defined, along with options to make service assignments.

Block File field Description
Format
This button is available for logical devices not yet designated as either iSCSI or NAS.
Formatting a physical disk will permanently erase all existing data.
Share
If the Share type field is nfs or smb, this button commits the logical device and enables a
“file share mount point”.
If the
Share type field iSCSI this button is commits the logical device and enables an “iSCSI
mount point”.
Block Indicates the bytes on the logical device are not managed by the ATCA-S201. If exposed by
iSCSI, an external host owns the device in its entirety (partitioning, formatting etc.).
File Indicates the logical device is formatted, and the bytes on the device are managed by the
ATCA-S201 and its Linux file system including partitioning and formatting.
6.5.1 Commit a logical drive for iSCSI service
A newly defined logical drive is immediately ready for iSCSI block sharing. In the
example above, the logical disk named /dev/vga/lva0 is ready for “iSCSI share”.
