SoftLayer_Network_Storage

Overview

SoftLayer customers may have a StorageLayer volume associated with their account. StorageLayer types include NAS, Lockbox, iSCSI, EVault backup, and Hub cloud storage. Information such as the account the StorageLayer volume is associated to, username and password to access the StorageLayer volume, related server (EVault only) and the capacity used are some of the details that may be retrieved using this service. Information regarding the StorageLayer's resource that is useful in reconfiguring and mounting a StorageLayer volume may also be retrieved from this service.

For the EVault Storagelayer services, the username and passwords in the SoftLayer_Network_Storage services are used to register the EVault server agent with the vault. Please see the SoftLayer_Account_Password service to edit the passwords and notes for the EVault Webcc tool.
