NetApp Volumes are global entities in Domino, similar to Datasets but not scoped to a single Project. You attach a NetApp Volume to any Project that needs it, and the Volume mounts into that Project’s executions the same way a Dataset does. Multiple users on multiple Projects can work against the same NetApp Volume in parallel, which makes NetApp Volumes a good fit for shared team datasets and enterprise-scale storage. You’ll need a role that allows you to see or work with a NetApp Volume to attach it to a Project. If you have the Reader role, you can still attach the NetApp Volume, but you can only view the data.

​
Add a NetApp Volume to a Project

  1. Close out any Projects and go to the main Domino screen.
  2. From the toolbar, click Data > NetApp Volumes.
  3. Find the volume you want to add in the NetApp Volumes list.
  4. Click the three dots to the right and select Add to project.
  5. Use the menu to search for and select the Project.
  6. Click Confirm.
If you want to add the same NetApp Volume to multiple Projects, repeat these steps.

​
Remove a NetApp Volume from a Project

Remove a NetApp Volume from a Project when the Volume has failed or you no longer need it there. Removing a Volume from a Project only detaches it: the Volume itself and its data are unaffected, and other Projects that use it keep working.
  1. Open the Project with the NetApp Volume you want to remove.
  2. From the left panel, click Data > NetApp Volumes.
  3. Find the volume in the NetApp Volumes list.
  4. Click the three dots to the right and select Remove from project.

​
Delete a NetApp Volume

Deleting a NetApp Volume permanently loses the data. Only delete a Volume when you’re sure it’s no longer needed anywhere. You can delete your own NetApp Volumes if your Domino administrator has enabled that ability for your role. If not, you can mark a NetApp Volume for deletion by submitting a deletion request to your Domino administrator.
  1. From the toolbar, click Data > NetApp Volumes.
  2. Find the volume in the NetApp Volumes list.
  3. Click the three dots to the right and:
    1. Select Delete Volume.
    2. Or select Mark for deletion.
  4. Read the confirmation message:
    1. If you agree, click Delete or Mark for deletion.
    2. To abort the action, click Cancel.

​
Attach a NetApp Volume to a Workspace or Job

Attaching a NetApp Volume to a Workspace, Job, App, or Launcher gives that execution direct access to its files. You select which NetApp Volumes to attach when you launch the execution:
  • Users with the Volume Owner or Editor role may attach the NetApp Volumes assigned to the Project to Workspaces or Jobs within that Project in read-write mode.
  • Users with the Reader role may attach the same NetApp Volumes in read-only mode.
  • Apps mount as read-write or read-only based on the permissions of the App owner.
By default an attached NetApp Volume mounts with its live data and all of its snapshots. On the Data Plane & Hardware tab you can pin any mounted NetApp Volume to a single snapshot instead, the same way you can pin a Dataset.

​
Mount paths

NetApp Volumes mount into executions at file paths that mirror the Dataset scheme. Because NetApp Volumes are global, there’s no local vs. imported distinction:
  • DFS Projects: /domino/netapp-volumes/<name> for the read-write NetApp Volume, /domino/netapp-volumes/snapshots/<name> for its snapshots, and /domino/netapp-volumes/snapshot-tags/<name>/<tag> for a tagged one.
  • Git-based Projects: /mnt/netapp-volumes/<name> for the read-write NetApp Volume, /mnt/netapp-volumes/snapshots/<name> for its snapshots, and /mnt/netapp-volumes/snapshot-tags/<name>/<tag> for a tagged one.
For the equivalent Dataset paths and the underlying directory layout, see Understand Dataset paths. For how tagged and numbered snapshots are mounted, see Snapshot mounting in executions.
