Create a Storage Pool

You must have at least one unassigned array to put into the new storage pool.

You can also create a new storage pool when adding an array to a group.

By default, the arrays in a group can access each other and are grouped into a default pool. You cannot change the default storage pool, but you can add additional storage pools and move volumes between the pools.

A pool confines data to a subset of the arrays in a group. Data of resident volumes is striped and automatically rebalanced across all members of a group. Pools dictate physical locality and striping characteristics. Think of a pool as a logical container that includes one or more member arrays in which volumes reside. A member array and all of its expansion shelves can only be part of one pool.

Create a storage pool.

pool --create pool_name --description description --array array

Creating a pool with a description for the array c30-array6:

$ pool --create 1pool1 --description pool_for_admin --array c30-array6
