You may either explicitly select the disks for the pool by using
PHYSICAL_DISK=
or specify the
number of disks in the pool by using
NUMBER=
in which case the next available disks will be
selected. If you specify the
ASSIGN_POLICY
and
NUMBER
parameters together, only the selected
type of disks will be used for the storage pool and you will not need to enter the individual disk name.
Examples:
• To use only the specified disks:
CREATE POOL RAID_LEVEL=RAID5 CHUNK_SIZE=64KB PHYSICAL_DISK=0x003e
0x003f 0x0040 0x0041 0x0042
• To use the next available disks:
CREATE POOL RAID_LEVEL=RAID6 CHUNK_SIZE=128KB NUMBER=6
• To use only the selected type of disks:
CREATE POOL RAID_LEVEL=RAID6 CHUNK_SIZE=128KB NUMBER=6
ASSIGN_POLICY=SAS
3.2.2.3 Storage Pool Initialization
When a storage pool is created, initialization begins automatically and will continue in the
background until it is completed. Once the storage pool has completed its initialization, its virtual
disk(s) can be accessed immediately.
You may use the SHOW POOL command to check if the storage pool is being initialized (see
Section 3.2.1.2, "Storage Pool View" for more information).
You may monitor the initialization progress using the
SHOW JOB
command (see Section 3.3.1,
"Background Job Priority" for more information).
3.2.2.4 Naming a Storage Pool
SET POOL <pool-id> NAME=”<name>”
lets you specify a name to identify the storage pool
(Figure 61)
.
3.2.2.5 Deleting a Storage Pool
DELETE POOL=<id> deletes the specified storage pool from the system.
RAID$ set pool 0 name=”RAID 5 Set”
POOL 0 OID: 0x19b40000 attributes set with STATUS=’Success’ (0x0)
Figure 61. Set Pool Name Example Screen
The DELETE POOL command erases all the data on the storage pool.
