Any traditional non-ISP volumes that you create in a disk group with a storage
pool remain outside the storage pool.
To create a storage pool within a disk group, use the vxpool create command
and specify a storage pool definition that is appropriate for the kind of volumes
that you wish to create. This sets up the storage pool and installs the correct
templates in it. Alternatively, if you specify the -o intent to the vxassist make
command to create an ISP volume, a storage pool is set up automatically for you
in the disk group.
Table 1-1 lists the standard pool definitions that are included in the ISP
configuration database.
