About Creating Storage Pools and Configuring Arrays

If you select Express Configuration (available by clicking Array Management page > Individual Configuration button > Express Configuration button) and perform the following:

then two storage pools are created by default.

If you select less than the total number for available drives or the tray is not fully populated with drives, then one storage pool is created.

For more control over the number of pools created per tray, for example one storage pool per tray, use the Manage Pools feature available from the Custom Configuration page (available by clicking Array Management page > Individual Configuration button > Custom Configuration button).
