2 Configuring Nutanix Storage Pool and Containers
To use the cluster storage, you must configure a storage pool and containers within the pool. Create only
one pool consisting of all the disks in the cluster. Within the storage pool, we recommend creating
multiple containers for a logical distinction between the compute and management storage layers.
1. To configure the storage pool and containers, log in to the Nutanix Web Console. From the
Home drop-down menu, select Storage.

2. Click the Create Container link and click the plus symbol (+) under the STORAGE POOL section to
create a pool.
