Storage Pools

A storage pool is an aggregation of physical storage resources (disks) in a storage system. Storage systems contain information about the storage ports through which they can be accessed. You can provision logical storage spaces, known as volumes, from storage pools.

The Storage Pools screen displays the storage pools discovered by the appliance. Use this screen to manage the state of storage pool (discovered/managed), or refresh storage pools properties.

On the Storage Pools screen, select a storage pool to display its configuration properties in the details panel, such as its state, drive type, RAID level, storage system, domain, volumes, folders, scopes, used by volume templates and used by volumes. You can also see total and allocated capacity.
