The POOL Object
The POOL object represents a storage pool, which is a collection of disk volumes, all on the same
system. A POOL object represents a resource of spaces where data files can be placed. Virtual
disk processes can create files across volumes of a storage pool. A storage pool can have up to
144 disk volumes. The number of storage pools on a system is limited only by the current size of
the destination control table (DCT). For more information, see “Configuring Custom Profiles”
(page 75).
The POOL object has this format:
$pool-name
$pool-name
is the name of a storage pool. The format is a dollar sign ($) followed by a maximum of seven
alphanumeric characters, the first of which must be alphabetic.
Wild-card characters are supported.

The PROFILE Object
Use the PROFILE object to preconfigure an internal disk when it is inserted into the system. You
can modify the default profile, or you can create a unique profile for each system enclosure.
The standard default profile, $ZZSTO.INTERNAL-DISK, contains all the configurable attributes of
an ADD DISK command except PRIMARYLOCATION and MIRRORLOCATION. These attributes
must be unique for each mirrored disk. For more information, see“Configuring Custom Profiles”
(page 75).
The PROFILE object has this format:
$ZZSTO.internal-disk[-groupnum ]
$ZZSTO
is the storage subsystem manager.
