<h1 class="topictitle1">Create a basic disk pool</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>The New Disk Pool wizard saves you time by bundling several time-consuming
|
||
|
|
configuration functions into one efficient process. It also takes the guesswork
|
||
|
|
out of disk unit configuration because it understands the capabilities of
|
||
|
|
your system and only offers valid choices. For instance, the wizard does not
|
||
|
|
list the option to start compression unless your server has that capability.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The New Disk Pool wizard allows you to create a basic disk pool or independent
|
||
|
|
disk pool or to use an existing disk pool to add new or nonconfigured disk
|
||
|
|
units. When you choose to create a <em>protected</em> disk pool, the wizard
|
||
|
|
forces you to include the disk units in <a href="rzalydpp.htm">Device
|
||
|
|
parity protection</a> or to add enough disk units of the same capacity
|
||
|
|
to start <a href="rzalymirrorconcept.htm">Mirrored protection</a>.
|
||
|
|
The wizard also gives you the option of balancing data across the disk pool
|
||
|
|
or starting disk compression if these are permissible actions for your system
|
||
|
|
configuration. You decide which options to choose so that the operation is
|
||
|
|
tailored to your system.</p>
