Note:
-
QTS uses shared
folders instead of volumes. For this reason, after creating a VJBOD
Cloud volume QTS automatically
creates a shared folder with the same name which is stored on the volume. You
can then write data to the shared folder.
-
When transferring a VJBOD Cloud
volume from QuTS
hero to QTS,
ensure that all files are in subfolders. Files in the shared folder that are not
in a subfolder will not be visible in QTS.

- Optional:
Forcibly disconnect the volume from its current NAS.
If a volume is connected to another NAS, then the volume's status will be
Occupied and Current
NAS will display an IP address other than

Warning:
Forcibly disconnecting a volume deletes the volume's data from the other
NAS, and then recreates the volume locally from its last restore point.
Any changes to data made since the last restore point will be lost.
