<h1 class="topictitle1">Add a disk unit or disk pool</h1>
<div><p>The Add Disk Unit and New Disk Pool wizards save you time by bundling several
time-consuming configuration functions into one efficient process. They also
take the guesswork out of disk unit configuration because they understand
the capabilities of your system and only offer valid choices. For instance,
the wizard does not list the option to start compression unless your server
has that capability.</p>
<p>The Add Disk Unit wizard allows you to use an existing disk pool to add
new or nonconfigured disk units. When you choose to add disk units to 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>
