Creating a Storage Pool
After creating and setting up your partitions, you can create storage pools
within the partitions. When you create a storage pool, NSS lets you determine
how much space to use from each storage device on your server.
When you create storage pools, you use partitioned disk space. However, you
can select unpartitioned space. This will create a partition and make the
storage pool the same size of the partition because you can have only one
partition per storage pool.
1 From ConsoleOne, open the tree you want.
2 Right-click on the server object and select Properties.
3 Click Media > NSS Pools > New.
4 Enter a name for the new storage pool and click Next.
5 Select the existing NSS partitions or unpartitioned free space that you
want to use for the pool.
If you select an unpartitioned device, you can double-click on the number
in this column to edit the current amount of space you want to obtain from
the storage devices. The storage pool size will be the total of all devices
in the pool.
6 Enter the size you want from each NSS partitioned space or unpartitioned
space and click Next.
You can select any of these options:
Create a Logical Volume with this same name. Automatically
creates a logical volume when you create the pool.
Sharable for Clustering. Available if Clustering is installed and you
want to use the feature.
Activate. Activates your pool and any logical volumes when you
create the pool. Otherwise, you can activate it later.
7 Click Finish.
