Register external data volumes

Follow the instructions in this topic to register an external data volume (EDV) with Domino.

To register an EDV

From the Admin application, go to External Data Volumes > Data > External Volumes.
Click Register External Volume. The Register an External Volume wizard opens.
On the Volume page:
1. Select the volume type. The supported volume types are NFS, Windows Share(SMB), and EFS.
2. From Available Volumes, select a volume. The volume names are those of the backing Kubernetes persistent volume claims (PVCs).
Click Next
On the Configuration step:
1. Enter a Name. This field defaults to the selected PVC name but can be changed. Domino recommends that you name the EDV so that it is recognized by users based on the supporting use case or some organization-defined convention.
2. Enter a unique Relative Mount Path for the EDV for supported executions. This field defaults to the selected PVC name but can be changed. This field must be unique to all registered EDVs. There are a few reserved words.
3. Select Mount as read-only set the EDV as read-only or clear the checkbox to make the EDV read-write. This is enforced at the Domino layer. More restrictive access controls at the Kubernetes or NFS layer overrule this setting. For example, if the PVC access mode is set to read-only, it does not matter if this field allows for read-write; the underlying permission of read-only will be enforced.
4. Enter a Description.
Click Next.
On the Access step:
1. Select the Volume Access:
  - Everyone. Allow EDV access to all logged-in users.
  - Specific users or organizations. Limit EDV access to specific users and organizations.
    
    Note
    
    Regardless of this setting, you (SysAdmin) can always access any external data volume.
Click Register.
