• Creating Thin Image data pools

  You can create Thin Image data pools using HDvM - SN. For information about the creation of DP pools, see the Provisioning Guide for your storage system.

• Selecting pool volumes

  You can select a pool-VOL to add when creating pools. The selected pool-VOL’s information is used to calculate Total Selected Pool Volumes and Total Selected Capacity in the Create Pools window.

• Pool creation and data drive type priority

  Creating pools automatically sets the new pool-VOL with system area according to the priority of data drive types.
