IPSAN
Internet Protocol Storage Area Network (IPSAN) is a kind of network storage technology based
on IP network. It builds disks and RAID into a virtual logical device (i.e. storage pool) and
shares the storage path with other devices through NFS, iSCSI, FTP and SAMBA to enable
other devices to store data into the shared path.
For the procedure to configure IPSAN, see Figure 3-27.

Creating Storage Pool
Storage pool is a logical device that is virtualized by the storage devices, which is managed by
the system and can be composed of multiple actual disks or RAID. It is one of the main means
to realize virtual storage.
When creating the storage pool, the system will format the selected disk. Be careful to perform
it.
