Arranging Storage by Volume Usage
The simplest way to arrange storage so that its use is restricted to certain applications is to divide it
between storage pools as shown in “Arranging Storage by Volume Usage.” This requires that each
storage pool is configured in a separate disk group. Each storage pool can have its own set of
policies and templates that are tailored to the requirements of the volumes that are created from its
LUNs.
Arranging Storage by Volume Usage
Although this is the simplest way of arranging storage and is expected to be the most common, it
may not provide sufficient flexibility for some installations. See “Arranging Storage by Attributes”
on page 25 for an example of using storage attributes for controlling how storage is allocated.
