As for other device classes, use the define devclass command, specifying the
DEVType=FILE option. Example 6-8 defines a device class named SEQF-DC
with a maximum capacity of 256 MB. We also create a sequential file device
class for use with directory metadata (from the directory management class).

6.3 Storage pools
Storage pools are the logical entities in which Tivoli Storage Manager stores
client data. Up to now, we have configured the devices that our storage pools will
use for physically storing the data. Now we create the pools.
