To add a single back-end LU to a storage pool:

2. Select Manage > Storage Pool relations > Add to Storage Pool. The Add to Storage Pool wizard
opens to the Select Storage Pool screen and displays the list of available storage pools.
3. If you would like to select a storage pool from a folder, navigate to the folder in the tree on the
left of the screen. The Select Storage Pool screen displays the list of storage pools in the selected
folder.
4. Select the storage pool to which you want to add the back-end LU or stripe set.
5. Click Add. The storage pool you selected appears in the lower area of the screen. If you want
to change your selection, select the storage pool in the lower area of the screen and click Remove.
6. Click Next. A confirmation screen appears.
7. Click Finish. The back-end LU or stripe set is added to the storage pool you selected.
NOTE:
You do not have to add a back-end LU if you are only adding stripe sets to a pool consisting
of only stripe sets.
To expand a storage pool, adding one or more back-end LUs, or one or more stripe sets:
1. From the navigation tree, navigate to the storage pool you want to expand. To display all storage
pools, select the Storage Pool node. To display storage pools that you have copied to a folder,
navigate to the folder.
