    Cergio -

    The VNXe supports up to 16 TB file systems, so that need is no problem.

    It sounds like you may need to start by configuring the disks. That's in System > Storage Pools > Configure Disks. NL-SAS is configured as 4+2 RAID 6 for the best balance of capacity and availability.

    Are you looking to create an NFS export or a CIFS share? Either one requires the configuration of the appropriate server first. Head to Settings > Shared Folder Server Settings > Add Shared Folder Server.

    Once that's complete, you create the actual share in Storage > Shared Folder > Create.

    That should do it for you.

    Best,

    Matt

    Out of curiosity, what will you use the 16TB filesystem for? Would you back it up?
