* The total capacity values assume that all of the storage pools in the system use the same
extent size.
Volumes are created from the extents that are available in the pool. You can add MDisks to a
storage pool at any time, either to increase the number of extents that are available for new
volume copies or to expand existing volume copies. Place the cursor over the Pools function
icon and click to display the Pools menu options (Figure 3-33).

Shows a list of pools that are already available within the system. It
provides an option to create or modify pools and
additional storage.
Applies the high-level filter, listing all defined volumes per pool. It also
provides a capacity overview, which is valid for a specific, selected
pool only. This view is excellent when you plan a migration of a volume
to another pool so that you have a common overview of all pools and
their associated volumes. Unused volumes are not listed.
