Listing Available Storage Pool Definitions
To list all the available storage pool definitions, use the following command:
# vxpool listpooldefinitions
For a list of supported storage pool definitions, see “Storage Pools” on page 171.
To display the details of a storage pool definition, see “Displaying Storage Pool Definitions” on
page 37.
Displaying Storage Pool Definitions
To display the details of one or more storage pool definitions, use the following command:
# vxpool printpooldefinitions [storage_pool_definition] ...
If no storage pool definitions are named, the definitions for all storage pools are displayed.
For example, the following command displays the definition of the storage pool,
mirrored_volumes:
# vxpool printpooldefinitions mirrored_volumes
storage_pool mirrored_volumes {
description "Volume has multiple copies of data."

Using Disk Group Split and Join with Storage Pools
Storage pools form the smallest unit that can participate in disk group split and join operations (see
the section “Reorganizing the Contents of Disk Groups” in the “Creating and Administering Disk
Groups” chapter of the VERITAS Volume Manager Administrator’s Guide for details).
Note Only clone storage pools can be moved between disk groups; data pools must remain in the
disk group in which they were created.
