Use this window to add LDEVs to a pool to expand the pool to increase pool capacity.

CAUTION:

When you create the Thin Provisioning pool, if you specify Any for RAID level to open

the Select Pool VOLs window, the following volumes are not available in the Available Pool Volumes
table because they cannot coexist with volumes of the other RAID levels:

RAID 1 (2D+2D) volumes

External volumes whose cache modes are set to disabled

When you specify these volumes in the Select Pool VOLs window, select RAID 1 (2D+2D) or a
hyphen (-) for RAID level.
When you specify these volumes in the Select Pool VOLs window, specify a hyphen (-) for RAID
level.
