Creating a new storage pool

The IBMTSSVC_StorageConfigurationService class provides the methods for creating a new IBMTSSVC_StoragePool.

To create a new IBMTSSVC_StoragePool instance, follow these steps:

  1. Obtain the reference (CIMObjectPath) of an IBMTSSVC_StorageConfigurationService instance that is associated with the IBMTSSVC_Cluster in which you will create the new storage pool by traversing the IBMTSSVC_HostedStorageConfigurationService association.
  2. Invoke the IBMTSSVC_StorageConfigurationService.CreateOrModifyStoragePool method while you specify the Extent[] parameter with a list of IBMTSSVC_BackendVolume instances.

    The Extent[] parameter is a string array that contains the representation of the CIMObjectPath to an IBMTSSVC_BackendVolume.

    You can also just specify the size, and the CIM agent performs a best-fit heuristic to match it. You can specify the Name of the pool by using the ElementName Parameter and the Block Size by using the BlockSize parameter.
