<h1 class="topictitle1">Plan for independent disk pools</h1>
<div><p>Several requirements must be satisfied to use independent disk pools, particularly
if you plan to use switchable independent disk pools. Setting up an environment
for switching devices begins with careful planning. </p>
<div class="important"><span class="importanttitle">Important:</span> When you are ready to order a new server or a server
upgrade to use clusters, IBM<sup>®</sup> will assist you in making sure that your cluster
requirements are met. See <a href="http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/ha/haplanning.htm" target="_blank">Planning for Clustering</a> <img src="www.gif" alt="Link to WWW" />.</div>
<p>Creating a stand-alone, or dedicated, independent disk pool does not require
as much planning as a switchable independent disk pool. However, you should
still take the time to make sure that your future needs will not require
you to be able to switch the independent disk pool.</p>
<p>When independent disk pools are used, you should configure a storage pool
for the independent disk pools separate from the base storage pool (pool number
2) and separate from storage pools configured for jobs that are not using
independent disk pools. </p>
