Creating and Modifying Pools

In Adaptec Storage Manager, a storage pool is created by grouping disk drives

together to form a virtual storage unit. Each pool includes RAID (the RAID level

depends on how many disk drives are in the pool) and can also include a hot spare

for an additional level of data protection. Logical devices and volumes are then

built from the storage space contained within that pool.

Once a pool is created, you can use Adaptec Storage Manager to increase its

capacity, change its RAID level, and make other modifications.

This section describes how to:

• Create a new pool after setup is complete (see the following section).

• Create a pool using express configuration (see page 95)

• Add capacity to an existing pool (see page 96).

• Change the RAID level of a pool (see page 96).

• Move a pool to another iSCSI Storage Appliance (see page 97).

• Enable or disable the controller read or write cache for a pool (see page 100).

• Delete a single pool (see page 101) or all pools (see page 101).

Creating a New Pool

You can add new pools to your IP SAN at any time, as long as adequate disk drive

space is available. You can provision storage from a new pool immediately. You

don’t have to wait for the build/verify process to complete.

To create a new pool:

Maximum mirror plexes 20— includes any combination of master/

slave

Maximum replica volumes 40— includes any combination of source/

destination

Each replica volume consumes 1 volume

and 2 snapshots.

Maximum clones 20—while clone is in progress, consumes

1 volume and 1 snapshot.

On completion, the cloned volume will

become a basic volume
