Stripe sets
Before we put the back-end LUs into pools, we have an option to put them into a stripe set. This usually
provides better performance. For example, with a two back-end LU stripe, when one back-end LU is
presented through one storage controller and the second from the other storage controller we can
spread I/O equally across the two storage controllers. You can show this on GUI by creating a stripe
set: right-click on Stripe Sets, then select New.
Follow the wizard by selecting two back-end LUs with similar capacity.
Storage pools
To create a pool, right-click on Storage Pools, click New, and then follow the wizard.
