only hard drives and CD ROMs.

free space you want to use
for a storage pool.
 Ensure you have enough
free space to create
another storage pool or
logical volume. See “View
Partitioned Free Space” on
page 57.
 Before you create a logical
volume, create a storage
pool.

your storage pools and
logical volumes.

space for another logical volume.
