Creating a Pool
The first step in using XP Thin Provisioning is to create one or more pools.
WARNING! Make sure that the blocks-in-use capacity is less than the total capacity.
NOTE: Total capacity is the total pool storage capacity.
The value for pool management blocks in use will increase if you add pool-VOLs.
To create a pool:
1. Access the Pool window by selecting Go Volume Manager Pool (see “Accessing the Pool
Window” (page 59)).
2. In the Pool tree, on the upper left corner of the Pool window, right-click the XP Thin Provisioning
folder, and then select New Pool.
