    Use Thin Image to manage pools, such as monitoring information about a selected pool (for example, the LDEV ID and Used Pool Capacity), viewing used pool capacity by pool or by the Thin Image pair's root volume, viewing the progress of rebalancing the pool usage rates among parity groups, increasing pool volume by adding pool-VOLs to a pool, decreasing the pool volume, and monitoring the pool usage rate.
