Modifying a Storage Pool

1. On the Drive Management page, expand the Information section of the Storage Pool you want
to modify.
2. Enter a new name for the Storage Pool.
3. To change the protection, choose a value from the drop-down menu. You can change the
protection of the following types of Storage Pools without having to recreate the Storage Pool
and risk loss of data:

A 2-drive RAID 10 Storage Pool can change to a RAID 5 Storage Pool with three or more
drives.

A RAID 5 Storage Pool can change to a RAID 6 Storage Pool, provided there are six or
more drives in the existing RAID 5 pool. You can add drives to a RAID 5 or RAID 6
Storage Pool without recreating it.
You cannot add drives to a linear or Raid 10 storage pool without recreating it.
4. Check Enable periodic consistency check to enable a monthly parity or mirror consistency
check.
5. Select the checkbox of the drive you want to add to the pool. All drives in a pool must be the
same size. You cannot remove any drives from the pool.
6. Click Apply to save changes to the Storage Pool.
