Working with Volumes and the 2.x App Volumes Agent

After upgrading from App Volumes Manager 2.x, you can continue creating AppStacks and Writable Volumes (2.x) by using the current version of App Volumes Manager. This version of App Volumes Manager supports the co-existence of Application Packages, Writable Volumes for the current version and 2.x, and AppStacks.

Hence, you can use the current version of App Volumes Manager UI to create Application Packages and Writable Volumes.

When AppStacks and Writable Volumes (2.x) are not in use, you can disable the VOLUMES (2.X) tab and other 2.x-related features in the App Volumes Manager UI by using a toggle switch, Enable Volumes (2.x). This switch helps you configure the visibility and management of App Volumes Manager 2.x UI any time. You can find this switch in the Advanced Settings page of the UI.

For example, this switch can be used to turn off 2.x-related features after migrating the AppStacks and Writable Volumes (2.x) from App Volumes Manager 2.x.

Note: When you upgrade from App Volumes Manager 2. x, this switch is on by default.

For more information about how to enable or disable the App Volumes Manager 2.x UI features, see Configuring visibility and management of App Volumes Manager 2.x UI.
