scenario, you can create the new domain without any Bricks with the purpose of
assigning the Bricks later.
In the above scenario, if you are replacing Bricks in the current primary Storage
Domain, for the new domain, we recommend that you have
the same Storage Class, in the following order of preference:
● First, SATA.
● If not SATA, then FC.
● If not FC, then SSD.
Note: We recommend a minimum of two Bricks of the same Storage Class to
ensure that the Persistence VLUN, which contains the system configuration
information, retains double redundancy.
A non-primary Storage Domain can contain only one Brick of any Storage Class.
Important! If you place only a single Brick of the lowest Storage Class in the new
non-primary domain and the domain is promoted to primary, the redundancy of
the Persistence VLUN reverts to single redundancy.
1 From the Configure tab, click Groups > Storage Domains.

Result:
A new row in the Storage Domains table appears.
4 In the blank Storage Domain field, enter the name of the new domain.
5 Click OK.
The new Storage Domain now appears in the list of domains.
After you create the Storage Domain, assign one or more Bricks to the domain
so you can locate logical volumes in the domain. The number of Bricks that you
add to a domain directly affects the performance of that domain.
