Volumes tab.
The Pool Volumes panel provides a table of information about:
• Volume name, space allocation, reserved
space, and accessibility status.
• Replication partners
• Snapshots for the volume
• iSCSI connections to the volume.
The table is sorted alphabetically by Volume name. You can sort the informati

Moving a member to a pool
When you add a member to a group, you assign the member to a storage pool. You can also move a member from
its current pool to different pool, with no effect on users or data availability.
Moving a member from one pool to another decreases the capacity of the current
pool and increase the capacity of
the destination pool.
Requirement: To
move a member from one pool to another, the remaining pool members must have enough free
space to store the data from the moved member. Moving a member to a different pool can take a
long time, depending on the amount of data that the group must move to the remaining current pool
members.
1. Click
Group, then expand Members, then select the member name, and then click Modify member
settings
.
2. In the Modify Member Settings dialog box, s
elect the pool for the member.
The group updates the Pool Space table to show the new amounts of free and used space in each pool. If a pool
does not ha
ve enough space to accommodate the pool change, the table cell showing free pool space displays a
negative value.
3. Click
OK.
The member status is shown as
moving until the move operation completes.
If necessary, you can cancel an in-progress member pool move operat
ion. The member immediately moves to the
original pool.
