Use this page to view file pool information in a tile or list view, and to delete
or expand existing pools, as well as to create new pools.
The colored bars display used capacity, physical capacity allocated for use on
the underlying block storage, and the file over-commit capacity. The over-
commit capacity reflects the amount by which the file pool is over-
subscribed.
Each tile or list row shows whether the file pool is tiered, it's File Pool Label,
and capacity utilization.
The following actions are available:
• Create a new file pool by clicking the plus (+) sign to open the Create File
Pool page.
• Delete one or more file pools by selecting them and clicking Delete.
• Add capacity by selecting a file pool and clicking Expand to open the
