The wizard continues to the Create RAID Pools step.
Step 3: Creating RAID Pools
The wizard offers two methods for creating (or
configuring
) pools—
express
configuration and
custom
configuration. This section describes how to use the
custom
configuration method.
The custom configuration option steps you through the manual process of creating
pools, helping you group disk drives, set RAID levels, determine pool size, and
configure advanced settings. Use this option when you want to create customized
pools with any or all available disk drives. Up to 20 pools are supported on a single
iSCSI Storage Appliance.
Note
For instructions on creating pools using express configuration, see page 95.
To build pools with the custom method:
1
Select
Custom configuration...
, then click
Next
.
2
Select a RAID level.
The most common RAID levels are listed first; advanced RAID levels are
available by clicking
Advanced settings
.
Note
Although all RAID levels are listed in the wizard, the RAID levels available
for your pools depend on the number of disk drives in your iSCSI Storage
Appliance. See “RAID Quick Reference” on page 201 for more information.

Click
Next
.
4
In the Physical Devices panel, enter a name for the pool. Use a meaningful name
that will help you easily identify it later. Pool names can be up to 15 characters
long.
If you don’t have enough disk drives to create a pool with the RAID level you
chose in the previous step, click
Back
to select a new RAID level.
