The Create VJBOD Cloud Volume/LUN window opens.
The Create VJBOD Cloud Volume screen appears.
Depending on the selected cloud storage provider, you may need to log in, authenticate, or configure settings through a third-party interface.
For details, see Connecting to a VJBOD Cloud Service.
When enabled, VJBOD Cloud connects to the cloud storage space using the system proxy server setting, configured at Control Panel > Network & File Services > Network Access > Proxy.
This may be a bucket, container, account name, or something else depending on the cloud service provider.
If you do not have permission to browse the list of cloud spaces, then you need to enter the name of the cloud space manually.
QTS tests the read and write speeds of the cloud space, and then displays the results with a warning if speeds are too low.
Alias requirements:
Length: 1–64 characters
Valid characters: A–Z, a–z, 0–9
Valid special characters: Hyphen (-), Underscore (_)
The amount of free space in the cloud storage space determines the maximum capacity.
The minimum volume capacity is 3 GB.
Increasing the capacity may increase cloud storage costs. Check with the cloud service provider for details.

The number of bytes per inode determines the maximum volume size and the number of files and folders that the volume can store. Increasing the number of bytes per inode results in a larger maximum volume size, but a lower maximum number of files and folders.
Stored space is space used to store a copy of the volume's data locally on the NAS.
