can be used to adjust the sizes of the panes.

An area of the main window that displays an alert icon when an object fails or experiences
some other error.
storage pool - data pool, clone pool
Storage pools are associated with disk groups. Storage pools are defined by templates,
capabilities and policies. Policies governing a storage pool decide whether to grow a storage
pool to accommodate additional storage, and whether to use templates that are not
currently associated with the storage pool.
There are two types of storage pools: data pools and clone pools. Data pools are created
first. All other storage pools that are created within a disk group are clone pools.
subdisk
A set of contiguous disk blocks that form a logical disk segment. Subdisks are associated
with plexes (mirrors) to form volumes.

Monitor window.

Manager session. Each task is listed with the task originator, the task status, and the start/
finish times for the task.

main window, a task request monitor, an alert monitor, a search window, and a customize

a group of objects of the same type.

simplify tasks. You can group the capabilities you want the volume to have, and save these
capabilities along with the rules as a user template.
