Specifying Volume Inheritance
A volume is mounted on a mount point. When creating and mounting a volume, the location of the
mount point can be specified using the path
parameter. The volume that is last
in the path parameter is referred to as the parent volume. (The parent volume is the
volume on which the volume link is created.)
Volumes can be mounted via the web console, the maprcli commands (volume create or volume mount), or the REST commands. If the mount point is specified while creating a volume, new volumes can inherit properties from the parent volume. Mirror volumes can also inherit properties from source volume of the mirror.
The maprcli volume modify command can be used to only change the volume
inheritance settings of a volume. That is, you can toggle the flag (associated with
allowgrant
) that indicates whether a volume, as a parent volume, wants its
properties to be inherited by default or not.
