Managing pools and DP-VOLs

Observe the following cautions when working with pools.

Caution
  • In one pool, if you need to perform two or more operations to edit several items, wait until the first task has been applied before performing the next task. If the next task is performed while the first task is being applied, the first task is canceled and the next task is applied to the storage system.
  • If you modified pool parameters by using Command Control Interface and then use Device Manager - Storage Navigator, click File > Refresh All to display the latest pool information before performing the next operation by using Device Manager - Storage Navigator. If you use Device Manager - Storage Navigator without refreshing the windows, the information updated by Command Control Interface might not yet be displayed on the Device Manager - Storage Navigator windows, so if you perform an operation the result might be different from what you expect.

  • Configuring thin provisioning

    Thin provisioning technology allows you to allocate virtual storage capacity based on anticipated future capacity needs, using virtual volumes instead of physical disks. Thin provisioning is an optional provisioning strategy for your storage systems. Thin provisioning is implemented by creating one or more Dynamic Provisioning pools (DP pools) of physical storage space.
