A storage pool is a group of disks associated together through a RAID configuration. The pool’s
capabilities define the level of protection for the associated volumes and LUNs. Create at least one
storage pool before provisioning a volume.
To create a storage pool:
1.
Click Tools > Storage Essentials > Provisioning Manager in HP Systems Insight Manager.
2.
In the right pane, click the Storage Systems tab.
3.
In the right pane, click the Provision button corresponding to the storage system in which you
want to create a storage pool.
4.
Click Step 1 Storage Pool.
5.
Click the New Storage Pool button.
6.
Select a setting and size for the storage pool.
The sizes displayed depends on the RAID level you want. For example, RAID 0 does not require
additional drives so you can assign more space to the pool.
7.
Click OK.
The storage pool is created.
