Managing Storage Pools
The StorCenter px12-350r is ordered and shipped with four drives. By default, one Storage Pool is created using
all four drives in the RAID 5 protection mode as shown below. Additional drives can be ordered in expansion
packs but will not be constructed in any Storage Pool.
Figure 5 Array initial provisioning
Characteristics of the Storage Pool and the drives in the enclosure are displayed in the table and the graphical
representation of the enclosure.
Name – the name of the Storage Pool; by default it is called “SP1” during initial provisioning. A Storage Pool is
assigned a letter starting from capital “A”. The letter is associated with all the drives that belong to the pool.
Protection – the RAID protection level of the Storage Pool.
Capacity – total capacity of the Storage Pool; it is the sum of allocated storage and free storage.
clicking the information icon will display information relevant to the pool: space allocation and usage,
data protection, name, and a list of folders and iSCSI drives that are created in the pool.
clicking the edit icon will allow modification of the pool properties: name, data protection, and RAID migration.
clicking the garbage icon will remove the Storage Pool. The drives are released and all data in the pool
is deleted.
