The Pool Manager wizard contains the following sections:
Overview—Displays storage information, such as number of controllers, enclosures (internal
and external), storage pools, and virtual disks. The system hardware and software
configuration information is also displayed. You can also view additional details on the system
configuration by clicking System Management Homepage.
NOTE:
◦
The number and status of disks in an enclosure displayed on the Create Pool tab can
be affected by removing or inserting new disks. If a physical disk is not currently assigned
to a storage pool or it is removed and a new disk is inserted into an empty slot, the
physical disk is not included in the list of disks that is displayed unless you refresh the
storage. You can refresh the HPE StoreEasy 1000 Storage by either opening a Windows
PowerShell prompt and executing the Update-StorageProviderCache command
or by clicking Rediscover Storage in Pool Manager.
◦
If an assigned physical disk is removed and re-inserted into a different slot, the pool
status might be displayed as Healthy or Degraded. This depends on whether a
physical drive from the global spare can be assigned to the virtual disks in the pool.
◦
Before opening HP Smart Storage Administrator, close Pool Manager, Dashboard, and
SMP service.
