Initializing V-VOL management areas or pool management blocks
This section d escribes how to initialize the whole V-VOL management areas or a pool management
block in th
e V-VOL management area.
Initializing V-VOL management areas
By initializing the whole V-VOL management area, the V-VOL manag em ent area is used more efficiently.
Therefore, you can create a pool with a capacity that is larger than before the initialization or create
more po ols compared to before the initialization.
You must delete all pools in the array to initialize the V-VOL management area. If pools exist in the array,
only the pool management block is initialized instead of the whole V-VOL management area. For more
inform ation, see Initializing pool management blocks.
