<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>
