Associating the Pool-VOL with the Pool
To associate one or more pool-VOLs to a pool:
1.
Access the Pool window by selecting Go
Volume Manager
Pool (see
).
2.
In the Pool tree, in the upper left corner of the Pool window, select a pool.
3.
In the Free LDEVs list, in the bottom right corner of the window, select the volumes that you
want to register in the pool as pool-VOLs.
•
If you select an LDKC number from the list, the CU list will contain CUs only within that
LDKC.
•
If you select a CU number from the CU list, the Free LDEVs list will contain the LDEVs only
in that CU. Within the same CU, you can select multiple LDEVs at a time.
CAUTION:
As a best practice, use the same drive type for all pool-VOLs in the same pool.
4.
Right-click the selected volumes and select Add Pool-VOL.
5.
Check the list of the volumes, and then click OK. The dialog box closes and the selected
volumes will be displayed in the Pool-VOL list.
CAUTION:
You cannot delete pool-VOLs after you add them. Be sure to verify that the settings
are correct.
6.
To add more pool-VOLs, repeat the preceding steps.
7.
In the Pool window, click Optimize.
You do not need to initialize or optimize the pool created with the microcode version 60-05-0X
or later.
8.
Click Apply, and then click OK to associate the pool-VOL to the pool.
Changing the Pool Threshold
Once you create a pool, the only setting you can change is the threshold. To change the threshold
of a pool:
1.
Access the Pool window by selecting Go
Volume Manager
Pool (see
).
2.
In the Pool tree in the upper left corner of the window, right-click the selected pool, and then
select Change Pool Information to display the Change Pool Information dialog box (see
). If the pool usage level is 95% or higher, the pop-up menu will not
appear.
