Creating a New Disk Pool

You can set the new pool to be mirrored, striped, or both, depending on how many disks are
available. Also, you can encrypt the pool.
By default, the new disk pool is automatically configured to maximize the size of the pool. To
manually configure the new disk pool, select the Manual Configuration check box.
When manually configuring the new disk pool, you can specify how much of the current disk is
mapped to the new pool. If you select either or both the Mirroring and Striping check boxes, you
must assign at least one disk to each of the columns by selecting the appropriate check box. Do not
assign any one disk to more than one column. To specify the amount of space to be allocated on
each disk, either type the amount of space (in GB) in each Space Allocation box, or use the slider.
The software adjusts the assigned amount of space to not exceed the maximum amount allowed
for each disk. The total for each column must be the same.

Creating a JBOD or Raw Pool

1 Type the name of the new pool in the New Pool Name check box.
2 Select the Manual Configuration check box.
3 For each disk that you want to use, select the Use check box for that disk.
4 For each disk, specify the amount of space to be allocated.
5 Click Create Pool.
